This is an exhaustive and comprehensive book on the subject, which should be recommended to all scholars, researchers and students.

Women under Islam are fully empowered and emancipated. They enjoy all rights and privileges, at per with their counterparts-men. Contrary to common belief, women under Islam are neither slaves nor second grade members of community. They are entitled to all rights on the basis of equality- be these rights to poverty, speech, expression and even politics. They have played a vital role in all times, in peace and war. Today, the modern Muslim woman is like any other women in the world, striding shoulder to shoulder, with man.
This is an exclusive work on the subject.

The project of this book was conceived and initiated at the Centenary Congress on Allama Muhammad Iqbzl held at Lahore from 7-9 December, 1977. Allama Muhammad Iqbal (1877-1938), poet, philosopher and dreamer of Pakistan, was not only a champion of his nation's freedom but a Crusader for the emancipation of peoples of the world. He was truly Cosmopolitan in his outlook, but his Cosmopolitanism grew out of the islamic world-view. Indeed if there is one consistent theme throughout his life's work it i8s passionate propagation of Islam. Reviewing the history of mankind, IQbal wrote, "it is an unending succession of deadly Combats, bloodfeusds and internecine wars. Now the question arises as to whether in these circumstances it is possible to bring forth a community, the basis of whose collective life will be peace and goodwill. Iqbal believed that the Islamic Millat was such a community, "whose ideal territory would be the whole earth." Western scholars in their eagerness to tarnish the Islamic message deliberately chose to misconstrue Iqbal's thought. Despite his patriotism, which is the moral duty of every civilized person Iqbal referred repeatedly to the universality of message. In politics as well as in philosophy he turned to the reforming role of Islam. In Asrar-i-Khudi (Secrets of the Self, 1915) and Rumuz-i-Bekhudi (The Mysteries of Selflessness), he presented, for the first time, substantiation of the necessity of combining the traditions of Islam and their reformation in the spirit of the times with an expostulation of the moral and ethical Conceptions of Islam. Through Payam-i-Mashriq Iqbal made it clear that profound socio-economic changes were necessary for the establishment of a just society as envisaged by Islam. A just society, however, depends on the moral perfection of man. Iqbal is the only Muslim sawant in the twentieth Century who has a truly international outlook and, again the only Muslim intellectual who thought and wrote extensively about international questions of the contemporary world. His cardinal message to the world is that Islam did and will yet lead the world from darkness into light.

Islam is the only religion, which is most human-friendly and nature-friendly. It is not only imposes do's and don'ts regarding religious life but also provides complete code of life- be it polity, economy, social life, education, human rights, distribution of wealth and property, inheritance, science and technology, sciences related to the earth or the space. All the Islamic thoughts are based on the holy injunctions prescribed in the holy Quran or the Traditions of Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh). Holy Quran is the Universal Compendium holding facts of the life here and hereafter. Present work attempts at highlighting the most relevant and crucial aspects of life in the light of the grand book. It must be possessed by every intellectual cutting across all sections and sects of mankind.
