English edition of “Triple Talaq and Uniform Civil Code” authored by Mufti Syed Ziauddin Naqshbandi released on the occasion of the 10th anniversary celebrations of Abul Hasanaat Islamic Research Center
Shariah is the divine code of life given to the world by Almighty Allah. Each and every aspect of the Shariah is immutable. It is the responsibility of Muslims to safeguard and preserve the Shariah. It is also their responsibility to convey to the world its beauty and efficacy and to clear misconceptions regarding it. This book “Triple Talaq and Uniform Civil Code” written by Hadhrat Maulana Mufti Syed Ziauddin Naqshbandi Qadri is a book that fulfills all these demands. This book comes at a time when the whole country is being persuaded that the Shariah is against women. Let alone non-Muslims, even Muslims are under the impression that marital laws of Islam need to be changed. Going through just the index of the book is enough to convince the reader that this is not the case. We hereby present the index of the book for our readers.
