Moreover, it explores how Muslim women and men have understood their faith and evolving notions of rights and liberties.

Volume 2 traces early and later Muslim responses to human rights during the 20th century. Volume 3 considers the political context in the struggle for human rights in Muslim societies by focusing on state-society relations.
