By Dr Jasser Auda, Claritas Books, Paperback, 146 pages
At a time when misogyny and hostile attitudes towards women are plaguing Muslim communities throughout the world, Dr Jasser Auda presents a timely and vital challenge to the contentious issue of women's access to the mosque, expounding the Islamic perspective.
‘Reclaiming the Mosque’ is a crucial response to the current trials facing Muslim communities, and moreover, it offers a clear and cohesive call to action that harks back to the Islamic principles of Freedom, justice and human rights.
