The book is divided into three sections:

Women's Rights in Islam
Women's Agency in Muslim Societies
Women's Leadership in Islam

In the first section, the authors examine the Quranic and historical sources of women's rights in Islam. They argue that Islam grants women a wide range of rights, including the right to education, work, and political participation.

In the second section, the authors explore the ways in which Muslim women are exercising their agency in contemporary societies. They discuss women's involvement in education, business, and politics, as well as their role in social and cultural movements.

In the third section, the authors examine the issue of women's leadership in Islam. They argue that there is nothing in Islam that prevents women from holding positions of leadership. They also discuss the challenges and opportunities that Muslim women face in pursuing leadership roles.

Women in Islam: Exploring New Paradigms is a must-read for anyone interested in women's rights, Islam, or Muslim societies. This book is a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate about the role of women in Islam and offers a fresh perspective on this important issue.
