| Summary: | The issue of women in Islam is highly controversial. It is generally agreed that the rights granted to women in the Qur'an and by the prophet Muhammad were an improvement in comparison to the situation of women prior to the advent of Islam. After the Prophet's death the condition of women in Islam began to decline and revert back to pre-Islamic norms. In the twentieth century women's movement raised the issues of women's right. But the feminists in the Muslim world mostly were upper class women whose feminism was modeled after theories from the Western world. Modern socio-political models in the Muslim world after the colonial period began to shift from Western models of society and government to αIslamic± models, feminism in the Muslim world began to take on Islamic forms rather than following the Western feminist theories. Therefore, one of the main purposes of this book is to try to present an Islamic perspective i.e. Sura an-Nisa' (the forth sura of the glorious Qur'an) which is based on the interpretation of Schech Muhammad Mutawalli Ash-Sha'rawi and Muhammad Hasbi As-Ssiddiqi along with other Muslim feminists and thinkers. |
