This an incredibly sane book, which can help a woman (who is truly female), keep her head on straight and not get lost in a very dangerous game where she only stands to lose. Satan will try to convince women that they have the right to challenge the boundaries of their existence. This book more than anything can help a woman became a decent, loving, compassionate and honest wife. This is an excellent book to not only have as a reference book, but to read many times. The book covers everything from the relationship to Allah (God) to Marriage and family. One of the most important features of a good woman, is her deep faith in God (Allah) (SWT), and her sincere conviction that whatever happens in this life, and whatever fate befalls her, only happens through the will and decree of God; whatever befalls a person would have been impossible to avoid, and whatever does not happen could not have been made to happen.
