“Innately conceived, intellectually researched, and spiritually guided. Daisy Khan’s 30 Rights of Muslim Women: The Definitive Guide uniquely questions, protests, and examines the various layers of meaning and practice of gender injustice. By linking historical legacies to contemporary Muslim women’s scholarship and activism, she empowers each woman to self-identify with Qur’anic justice and fairness. Khan affirms women’s spiritual leadership by providing new perspectives of the Qur’an, while debunking misinterpreted traditions attributed to Prophet Muhammad. She explores women’s realities, embarking with them upon a journey of restoring their own rights and transforming their own lives.”

When Daisy Khan speaks, the world listens. At her core, she embodies a rare amalgam of brilliance and humility, reasoning and passion, patience and persistence, demand and empathy. Her 30 Rights of Muslim Women is packed with actionable research by others, as well as her own compelling conviction that instead of traditional coercive, destructive “hard power,” most women’s persuasive, collaborative “soft power” is often the smartest power. This book should be front and center on the shelves of Muslim girls, Muslim women leaders, Muslim women who should be leaders, Muslim men who are leaders, and Muslim men who should learn from Muslim women how to follow.

Daisy Khan has performed a remarkable feat. In exploring a theme as particular as the rights, responsibilities, expectations, and perceptions of Muslim women, she manages to reach into a much larger universe-- women of all faiths, women who carry no particular faith, and all men who wish to understand what woman created in the image of God truly means. Along the way, we, the readers, are treated to a rich and exciting history of Muslim women throughout the history of Islam as well as to Daisy's own life experiences and wisdom. Personally, I had no idea. Bravo and thank you, Daisy.

“As a religious woman, I consider 30 Rights of Muslim Women, an essential read for anyone who cares about religion today. It has opened my eyes and strengthened my heart. Khan writes as a Muslim woman to other Muslim women, teaching how localized patriarchies have denied Muslim women and young girls their fundamental rights guaranteed to them by the sacred texts of Islam. Khan brings deep knowledge and an abundance of courage to this confrontation.”

“A comprehensive compendium on women in Islam, providing readers with an encyclopedic reference to the most pressing of topics. Easy to follow and accessible.”

“Dr. Daisy Khan meticulously illustrates that through the Qur’an, Hadith, and Islamic scholarship faith and gender equality can be achieved.”
