Gender Relations, Shaykh Abdullah Adhami

In this ground breaking set of six tapes, Shaykh Abdullah Adhami issues of gender, marriage, sexuality, and the interaction of male and female in a way that is both contemporary and deeply grounded in traditional Islam and classical scholarship.

Issues of gender, marriage, sexuality and the interaction between male and female have been a source of great debate and discussion amongst Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Modern literature on these topics usually does not go very far in providing scholarly and meaningful answers to our questions. Recorded at the Chicago Deen Intensive Program in 1999, Gender Relations: Issues Concerning Men and Women in Islam is astonishingly comprehensive in scope, discussing issues as varied as gendered language in the Qur'an, the limits of male-female interaction, the process of getting married and the role of spirituality in married life.

Few have addressed these topics with as much rigor and passion as Shaykh Abdullah Adhami. Drawing on classical commentaries and texts, while paying great attention to detail, Gender Relations: Issues Concerning Men and Women In Islam is based on years of exhaustive study.
