Muslim Women: A Biographical Dictionary

Islam has long offered a dynamic and supportive space for women to thrive and realize their full potential. From the era of the Prophet, may Allah (swt) bless him and grant him peace, women actively participated in all facets of life. Contrary to common misconceptions portrayed in the media, the true status of Muslim women in Islam is rich and empowering.

This dictionary serves as an extensive reference to women in Islamic history from the first to the mid-thirteenth century A.H., highlighting their achievements as scholars, entrepreneurs, and devoted family members over fourteen centuries.

Authored by Aisha Abdurrahman at-Tarjumana Bewley, a foremost translator of classical Arabic texts and a knowledgeable Muslim scholar, this work brings invaluable insights drawn from deep understanding and experience rather than mere academic study. 

This important resource sheds light on the significant roles Muslim women have played throughout history, offering a fresh and necessary perspective in today’s world.
