The book, first published as his thesis in 1940 titled as "The Rights of Woman according to Islam and in Europe." The concepts discussed in the book, however, reflect a progressive and harmonious approach towards integration of moral principles and civil laws. Specifically he believes that woman's rights must be embedded in the psychic of society, social custom and habit; in short a way of life. He constructs a healthy and peaceful society on the premise that its foundation is based on recognition and respect for status of woman who is instrumental in delivering quality family members. By fully participating in family leadership she creates a new generation of youth that is properly nourished, nurtured, trained and taught from the time of birth. In effect the mother instills the sense of protection of the rights of woman in her child, as the fundamental premise in safeguarding the woman's basic rights in a civil society. This book presents a series of logical steps towards forming healthy family whose goal is to maintain quality membership. In summary, the women whose rights must be fully protected are also full participants of ensuring the quality of society they help to create.
