| Assalamu alykum sister Fatimah Alhamdullilah that u have embraced Islam sister..... :) May allah continu to guide ur heart and strengthen your iman. Your question is very broad and can cover alot of specific topics. A good book that i will suggest is "the ideal muslima". It is simply written and gives you evidence from quran and sunnah Its the best ive read so far about women ;) Another good book ( i need to get a copy myself inshallah)! is "The rights and duties of women in Islam by Abdul Ghaffar Hasan ) a good link as well is http://www.jannah.org/sisters/ Take care sis ;D..hope this helps Walkum assalam |

| [slm] Fatimah, Mabruk on your wedding... I recommend Ustadha (Teacher) Hediya Hartford's "Islamic Marriage," from Dar ul Fikr publications (www.fikr.com, but you can buy the book on many sites, in catalogs, in bookstores). It is short, but to the point and filled with valuable advice. I also liked Ruqaiyah Waris Maqsood's book "Muslim Marriage Guide," and have heard 'Ideal Muslimah' recommended as a good book for the Muslima's life and behavior in general. |

| [slm] The muslim role of a wife, I find, is very well laid out in the Ideal Muslimah. The Muslim Marriage Guide, in my opinion doesn't have so much backup and some people don't think its too good. Check them all out, the message is generally the same: marriage is not the army but its not a selfish, love-centred thing, its a Allah-centred thing. Islam stresses that when Allah SWT is the crux of marriage, love, duty and respect (and fun) all fall into place. Perhaps a muslims wife will give you better perspectives, but I've just seen generally that the differences between "Western" marriages and a muslim marriage deal with respect, the focus of the marriage, the sanctity of it, the understanding, the roles (which in Western marriages have been done away with), etc. I can tell you this because although only a wife would know exactly how it feels to be a wife, Islam's marriages are two way streets (despite some cultural misrepresentations) and spouses have rights over each other. Many a-times while researching, you may come across a lot of statements which you find heavily in "favor" of the husband and that might stand out and get to you, but just try to always remember to take a balanced approach, trying not to judge it with preconceptions and old mentality, and I would suggest talking to muslim wives about how they implement their deen (religion) into their marriages. and thats about all I can tell you without getting into things perhaps women will tell you much better than I would. |
