Perfecting Women: Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanawi's Bihishti Zewar is a partially translated work with commentary on the original text, Bahishti Zewar, authored by Barbara D. Metcalf, a Professor at the University of California, Davis. Initially published in 1992 by the University of California Press and Oxford University Press, this scholarly piece was made possible through a translation fellowship from the National Endowment for the Humanities.[1] Its primary aim is to address and dispel misinterpretations surrounding the portrayal of women in Islam.[2] What sets it apart is its unique focus on a female audience, aligning with the Deobandi mission to impart foundational knowledge of Islamic jurisprudence to the Muslim laity.[3] The introduction not only delves into the content but also provides a socio-historical backdrop of the Deobandi reform movement, shedding light on its objectives and concerns.[2]
