This book delves into the historical evolution of women's rights within the context of Islam, focusing on the period following the rise of the faith during Mohammad's lifetime. While initially witnessing the establishment of certain women's rights, these advancements faced a decline in the aftermath of Mohammad's death. It was during the early Abbasid period, a time of expansive growth for Muslim societies, that Islamic laws and jurisprudence (fiqh) began to take shape, transforming the image of Muslim women to be more in line with the civilized cultures of antiquity, drifting away from the early Muslim community of Medina.
