The debate about Islamization of the human sciences, of physical sciences, of

for the rejuvenation of the new Islamic civilization, women and families
cannot escape from Islamization. Zeenath Kausar has argued the same in her

the Western theories followed by their critical analysis and Islamic alternatives.

misogynistic. Plato argues that women, children, and slaves mainly belong to
the appetitive class when compared to the classes of "philosophers" and "soldiers,"
where men predominate. Aristotle denies women citizenship; he contends
that women are nol capable of political participation. St. Augustine and St.
