The intersection of religion, culture and women's rights.
In Prisoners of Traditions, Sadia Azma confronts the harsh reality many Muslim women face: caught between cultural traditions and the true teachings of Islam.
Despite Islam's progressive stance on women's rights, outdated pre-Islamic customs, local cultural traditions, and its exploitation especially prevalent in South Asia - continue to oppress women, stripping them of the freedoms and dignity that Islam genuinely upholds.
Sadia sheds light on how these practices, often mistaken for religious obligations, have permeated Muslim communities and led to widespread inequality. This oppression impacts women in all aspects of life - from their education and financial independence to their emotional well-being and social status.
Through a rich mix of personal stories, thought-provoking insights, and religious analysis, Sadia uncovers the stark differences between these cultural practices and Islam's true principles.

Sadia’s exhaustive research dismantles the misconception that the oppression of Muslim women is a consequence of Islamic law. She illustrates the intersection of tradition and religion, and the devastating impact culture has had on restricting the rights of Muslim women. She brilliantly makes the case that culture is the problem, and religion is the solution.

Sadia bravely and eloquently discusses the intersection of women's issues and Islam in her new book, which is as illuminating as it is engrossing.
