  • Do you ever find yourself wondering where culture ends and your faith actually begins? In a world full of confusing advice, it can be hard for a Muslim woman to find straightforward answers to the issues that affect you on a daily basis, such as career and worship.

    Written by Huda Khattab, a British-born revert, The Muslim Woman’s Handbook was born from her own journey to find authentic, practical answers for her journey into Islam. It intentionally sheds cultural baggage to reveal the role of a woman as defined by the Qur’an and hadith.

    Whether you are looking for clarity on personal hygiene and worship, or seeking guidance on navigating a career, marriage, and social life, this book explains it all in plain English with references. Now in its fifth edition, this 2024 update ensures the advice remains as fresh and applicable today as it was when it first became a bestseller thirty years ago.

Who We Are

One of the First Islamic Publishers in the United Kingdom
Connecting English-speaking Muslims to the heart of their faith with authentic, accessible books.

Leaving behind professional careers, they paved the way for future generations to enjoy a wide range of Islamic literature. Almost fifty years later, we continue to provide the highest quality books worldwide and support literacy charities.
