Purdah And The Status Of Woman In Islam (HB) by: Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi

Purdah And The Status Of Woman In Islam: The modern world has gradually headed away from the Way of Nature towards unnatural paths that are inevitably leading to the annihilation of the human race itself. The moral concepts which the Western world adopted a century and a half ago have already resulted in the disruption of family life, and produced licentiousness and sexual anarchy to the extent hitherto unknown in history. The nudist trends in the West, manifesting themselves in the “Bikini” and the “birthday suit”, should surprise nobody as they are the logical outcome of the so-called movements launched for the rights and emancipation of woman.
