Our time contrasts with any previous era, as changes go faster and faster; and the future will be more unlike anything that has passed. Our children will live in a world essentially different from ours! The swift changes at the technological level are reflected in changes at each level in life.

The work-market is likewise witnessing such unexpected changes that any young person will need to receive innovative and creative ways to just find a suitable foothold in it. And this is what I try to provide in this book, for helping any educator or interested person.

In present era we are facing lot of questions:

• What is status of women in Islam?

• Who is superior – man or women?

• What does Islam say about inter-religious marriages, man’s treatment towards his wife and privacy in homes?

This beginner’s guide to Islam answers all such questions.
