But the truth is far different.In Women in Islam: Honored by God, Misunderstood by the World, author Nismah Zafar takes readers on a journey through history, scripture, and lived reality to uncover the true story of women in Islam, a story of dignity, strength, and unshakable faith.Written in a personal, conversational style, this book is both myth-busting and deeply inspiring.
