Number of Pages 6

This research paper: (6 pp) In addition to western thought and education there are three other areas that influence the life of a Muslim. According to Hussain (2000), they are: the Islamic scriptures --Quran and Hadith as interpreted b Ulamas, Mullahs, Muftis and Maulavis, and communicated through Madrasahs and Mosques, and administered through the Islamic state wherever there is one. The second is Tasawwuf (Islamic mysticism),which seeks truth through personal religious experience and not through the scriptures and is espoused by the Sufis (religious mystics). And the third is Adab (a concept broadly meaning art and literature) as a sub-culture of broad-minded and urbane people of high learning and literary tastes.Poets, writers and artists are its communicators. Among Indian Muslims the medium of Adab was Persian. Now it is Urdu. Because of this orientation, looking at the influence of religion on the sex roles between men and women is not as simple within the Muslim culture as it might initially seem. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
