Description

Challenging conventional notions about the place of women in Muslim societies, the Bihishti Zewar (Heavenly Ornaments) gives life to themes of religious and social reform. Written in the early 1900s by the Muslim scholar and spiritual guide Maulana Ashraf 'Ali Thanawi, the guidebook instructs Muslim girls and women in religious teachings, proper behaviour and proper conduct of their everyday lives. Metcalf has selected those sections of the Nihishti Zewar that illustrate the themes of reformist thought about God, the person, society, and gender. She provides an introduction to the text and to each section, as well as detailed annotations.
