As through investigations and scrutiny...

As through investigations and scrutiny, it can be recognised that some beliefs are there which we consider to be of the religion but they be not in truth, and they have, throughout centuries, been foisted and leaked into our religion from other alien cultures and traditions. 4. As regards making use of the accomplishments of human thoughts and experimental sciences, their intuition and definite existence should be realised.

As there are so many viewpoints and theories, especially in the field of anthropology, which have no scientific foundation or background at all, so they can never be relied upon by investigators and researchers. 5. In studying affairs and issues of women we should concentrate particularly on external realisms, and past biographies of various nations and peoples.

In this research, I will endeavour to commit myself sincerely to taking these principles as a basis for analysing and studying the subjects set for speculation. The themes of this book have been divided into six sections, the first of which, that is the most essential one and as is explicitly realised from its outward seeming, is dedicated for manifesting the character of the woman.

In my conception, the root of so many of the wrong judgements lies in the unrealistic view held in regard of the woman, so the fountainhead should be purified. On this basis, this chapter has a leading role in relation to other chapters.

Thereafter, presence and activity of the woman in three main arenas of life: individual, family and society, will be discussed and elaborated in the next chapters - two up to four - under the titles: “The Human Perfections,” “Woman and Family,” and “Woman's Participation in Social Life.” The subject of “Veil and Chastity” constitutes the fifth chapter of this book.

The fact that led me to broaching this topic being that it is viewed by some people to be incongruous with the social presence of the woman, while some others consider it as a sign of individual perfection for the woman and consolidation of the family system. Analysing the dimensions of veil “hijaab” and chastity and their effect on the life of women, as well as giving replies to some questions would be the objective of the discussion in this chapter.

The last chapter of this book will contain selection of Descriptive Book Identification of Collections, in which general identification of a number of collections and compilations is recorded.
