 What Islam Says about Domestic Violence: A Guide for Helping Muslim Families
By Zainab Alwani and Salma Abugideiri. Herndon, VA: FAITH (Foundation for Appropriate and Immediate Temporary Help), 2003.
Price: $10.00
For purchasing please contact the publisher: FAITH, 500 Grove Street, Suite 210, Herndon, VA, 20170. Telephone: 571-323-2198.
SYNOPSIS: "This guide is written for anyone working in the area of domestic violence: advocates, police officers, mental health workers, shelter staff, medical providers, lawyers, etc. It is intended to be used as a training supplement for those who work in this field, with specific reference to the Power and Control Wheel. It was written as a result of many questions and concerns presented by workers who deal with Muslim women and families. Because the religion of Islam and the culture of the Middle East are relatively unfamiliar to most workers in this country, dealing with the Muslim population is often challenging and confusing...The goal of this guide is to present an overview of the teachings of Islam as related to the subject of domestic violence. It is hoped that having this understanding will guide workers to more effective and more sensitive interventions with Muslim victims of domestic violence" - extracted from Introduction.
 Spiritually Sensitive Caregiving
By Janice Harris Lord, Melissa Hook, Sharon J. English, and Sharifa Alkhateeb, Burnsville, NC: Compassion Books, 2008.
Price: $12.95
For purchasing please contact the publisher: Compassion Books , 7036 State Hwy 80 South, Burnsville, NC, 28714. Phone: 800.970.4220.
Spiritually Sensitive Caregiving provides essential information about the religious beliefs and rituals, death issues, and justice issues of the six largest faith groups in the United States – Native American, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Carefully researched and organized, it assists caregivers in quickly and accurately providing appropriate support for people of unfamiliar cultures and religions who are hurting. In addition to basic information about religious beliefs, this handbook provides essential information to help with a wide range of issues, including religious prohibitions, death notification, autopsy and anatomical donation, funeral and burial practices, beliefs about the afterlife, beliefs about justice, revenge and forgiveness, and restitution. The authors worked with a cadre of consultants and reviewers to include guidance for emergency responders, health care and mental health professionals, educators, law enforcement and other justice personnel, and any others who seek to offer culturally-sensitive services to those in need.

 Marital Discord: Recapturing the Full Islamic Spirit of Human Dignity
By Abdulhamid A. Abusulayman. Herndon, VA: IIIT (The International Institute of Islamic Thought), 2003.
Price: $3.50
For purchasing please contact: Halalco, 108 E. Fairfax St, Falls Church, VA 22046.
SYNOPSIS: "The Qur'an speaks of living with each other on a footing of love, kindness, mercy and mutual consultation between husband and wife. It also addresses those times when the atmosphere is strained. This paper examines the issue of marital discord with a deep sensitivity to the perspective of women. Criticizing an approach to the Qur'an that is misogynistic rather than emancipatory, the paper moves the debate forward by introducing an alternative interpretation of the Qur'anic text dealing with the issue of marital discord. The explanation is fresh, firmly on the side of women's human rights and recaptures the full Islamic spirit of human dignity." – Back Cover.
