Perfecting Women
Author:
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520913310
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 455
Book Description
Challenging conventional notions about the place of women in Muslim societies, the Bihishti Zewar (Heavenly Ornaments) gives life to the themes of religious and social reform that have too often been treated in the abstract. This instructional guidebook, used by the world's largest population of Muslims, is a vital source for those interested in modern Indian social and intellectual history, in Islamic reform, and in conceptions of gender and women's roles. The Bihishti Zewar was written in northern India in the early 1900s by a revered Muslim scholar and spiritual guide, Maulana Ashraf 'Ali Thanawi (1864-1943), to instruct Muslim girls and women in religious teachings, proper behavior, and prudent conduct of their everyday lives. In so doing, it sets out the core of a reformist version of Islam that has become increasingly prominent across Muslim societies during the past hundred years. Throughout the work, nothing is more striking than the extent to which the book takes women and men as essentially the same, in contrast to European works directed toward women at this time. Its rich descriptions of the everyday life of the relatively privileged classes in turn-of-the-century north India provide information on issues of personality formation as well as on family life, social relations, household management, and encounters with new institutions and inventions. Barbara Metcalf has carefully selected those sections of the Bihishti Zewar that best illustrate the themes of reformist thought about God, the person, society, and gender. She provides a substantial introduction to the text and to each section, as well as detailed annotations.

Heavenly Portals
Author: Candice Smithyman
Publisher: Charisma Media
ISBN: 1636410510
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
How can you accomplish God’s plan if you aren’t actively entering into His heavenly realm? This book will open your eyes to a new realm of spirituality. You will learn to access heavenly portals and supernaturally rise above circumstances to a place of rest and peace, trusting God as He brings you into your assignment. Do you hunger for more of God and supernatural encounters? Do you yearn for the abundant life Jesus talked about? In your heart you know God has an assignment for you, but you need more of Him to accomplish it. Candice Smithyman provides keys to opening heavenly portals–or gateways–so you can enter the realm of eternity, be an overcomer in every area of your life, and help others do the same. Discover how to: Develop a deeper trust relationship with God. Learn the difference between the spirit and soulish realms and how to operate in both. Enlarge your faith for revelation from heaven. Open heavenly portals and bring "as it is in heaven" into the earth realm. The moment you were born-again, this heavenly access was given to you, but you have to know how to use it. It’s time to discover heavenly portals so you can live in a realm of breakthrough, dominion, and peace. Foreword by Ché Ahn
