Bahishti Zewar (Heavenly Ornaments)

This work was originally written in Urdu in the nineteenth-century sub-continent, although initially aimed as a complete guide for women on the practice of Islam and managing of a household, it has been used by Men as well as Women of the Hanafi Madhab to account for a lack of such teaching material during that period. It has since to this very day, become an indispensable guide of innumerable households.
