The Ideal Muslimah is proud of the position Islam has given her among humanity. She carries out her role knowing it is clearly defined, and that the rights Islam accorded her remain, to this day, greater than those of any other ideology.
What the Book Covers
She is a woman of moral excellence, true to her nature. The book works through what that means in practice — her relationship with her Lord, with herself, with her parents, her husband, her children, her relatives, her neighbors, her friends and the wider community.
Each relationship is treated with its rights and obligations set out from the Quran and Sunnah rather than from custom, which is the distinction the book insists on throughout.
Why It Has Lasted
Because it is neither apologetic nor defensive. It states the Islamic position on the Muslim woman fully, with its evidence, and lets the reader compare that with what she has been told elsewhere.
Who It Is For
French-speaking Muslim women at any stage, and equally useful for men who want to understand what Islam actually requires in these relationships.
Description en français
La musulmane idéale est fière de la grande position que l'Islam lui a donnée parmi l'humanité. Elle exerce ses fonctions en sachant que son rôle est clairement défini et que ses droits demeurent, aujourd'hui encore, supérieurs à ceux que lui accorde toute autre idéologie.
C'est une femme d'excellence morale, fidèle à sa nature. L'ouvrage examine ce que cela signifie concrètement : sa relation avec son Seigneur, avec elle-même, avec ses parents, son époux, ses enfants, sa famille, ses voisins, ses amies et la communauté.
Chaque relation est traitée avec ses droits et ses devoirs, établis à partir du Coran et de la Sunna plutôt que de la coutume.
