The purpose of this book is to open the eyes of the global community to the challenges faced by progressive Muslims. These individuals must overcome their inherited traditions in order to advance their faith. To be able to understand this struggle, the origins and maintenance of these beliefs will be explored. The subjects of womens rights and freedom of religion shall be the main focus of this study. In order to scrutinize the situation, the United Nations "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" shall be utilized as a comparative aspect to Sharia law. Following the arguments on these issues, progressive ideas of modern Muslim thinkers will be considered as a guide on how to bring human rights to a globally accepted place within all faiths.
