In this comprehensive open access book, written for readers from
any or no religious background, Leena El-Ali does something
remarkable. Never before has anyone taken on every last claim
relating to Islam and women and countered it not just with Qur'anic
evidence to the contrary, but with easy-to-use tools available to
all. How can a woman's testimony be worth half of a man's? How can
men divorce their wives unilaterally by uttering three words? And
what's with the obsession with virgins in Paradise? Find the
chapter on any of the seventeen topics in this book, and you will
quickly learn a) where the myth came from and b) how to bust it.
The methodology pursued is simple. First, the Qur'an is given
priority over all other literary or "scriptural" sources. Second,
the meaning of its verses in the original Arabic is highlighted, in
contrast to English translations and/or widespread misunderstanding
or misinterpretation.
