This is a very moving book on the topic of crying out of fear of Allaah. It is being presented at a time when crying is considered a weakness rather than a virtue – and this has lead to the hardness of the hearts. The author brings narrations from the Prophet as well as many Companions as examples of weeping from the fear of Allaah. The book also has a section containing many practical points on ways and means of developing this noble quality of weeping due to the fear of Allah.

Seeking knowledge is a duty upon every Muslim, male or female. The type of knowledge that each individual must learn varies according to the needs.

Women also need knowledge to fulfil their duties in accordance with the teachings of Islam, but they find it difficult to seek the knowledge because of moral conditions and modesty restrictions.

This book is published for the same purpose of providing knowledge to women as regards matters of faith, acts of worship, details about purification, problems of marriage and divorce, and other important issues that relate to women.
