Role of Muslim Woman in Society by Afzal-ur-Rahman Pdf

In this book, an attempt is made to describe the possible role of Muslim woman in a modern society in the light of the Qur'an and of the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad. In this respect, special consideration will be given to the effect of natural factors on the respective spheres of operation of the sexes; woman's position and status in society, whether equal or unequal; and whether the respective roles of the sexes have any influence in determining their status and role in society.

Women in Islamic Societies by Bo Utas Pdf

First published in 1983, this edited collection is based on contributions at a Scandinavian symposium on the place of women in Islamic society. It offers perspectives which illuminate our understanding of social relationships and structures pertaining to a vast number of the world’s population dispersed throughout Asia and Africa. Sociological and anthropological investigations of social organization and the behavioural patterns provided in these papers demonstrate that the status of women, their rights, duties and control over property, their body, the degree of seclusion and veiling, vary considerably. Overall, this collection of papers show that the relationship between Islam and the everyday lives of Muslim women is a complex picture, one that is confronted with a considerable range of interpretations of laws and traditions. This book will be of particular interest to those studying women and Islam, anthropology, religion and sociology.

Woman's Identity and the Qur'an by Nimat Hafez Barazangi Pdf

An original study of the Qur'anic foundations of women's identity and agency, this book is a bold call to Muslim women and men to reread and reinterpret the Qur'an and to discover within its revelations an inherent affirmation of gender equality. Barazangi asserts that Muslim women have been generally excluded from full participation in Islamic society, and thus from full and equal Islamic identity, primarily because of patriarchal readings of the Qur'an and the entire range of early Qur'anic literature. Based on her study of the sacred text, she argues that Islamic higher learning is a basic human right, that women have equal authority to participate in the interpretation of Islamic primary sources, and that women will realize their just role in society and their potential as human beings only when they are involved in the interpretation of the Qur'an. Barazangi offers a curricular framework for self-teaching that could prepare Muslim women for an active role in citizenship and policymaking in a pluralistic society by affirming the self-identity of the Muslim woman as an autonomous spiritual and intellectual human being.

Stereotypes and Self-Representations of Women with a Muslim Background by Margaretha A. van Es Pdf

This book explores how stereotypes of “oppressed Muslim women” feed into the self-representations of women with a Muslim background. The focus is on women active in, and speaking on behalf of, a wide variety of minority self-organisations in the Netherlands and Norway between 1975 and 2010. The author reveals how these women have internalised and appropriated particular stereotypes, and also developed counter-stereotypes about majority Dutch or Norwegian women. She demonstrates, above all, how they have tried time and again to change popular perceptions by providing alternative images of themselves and of Islam, paying particular attention to their attempts to gain access to media debates. Her central argument is that their efforts to undermine stereotypes can be understood as an assertion of belonging in Dutch and Norwegian society and, in the case of women committed to Islam, as a demand for their religion to be accepted. This innovative work provides a “history from below” that makes a valuable contribution to scholarly debates about citizenship as a practice of inclusion and exclusion. Providing new insights into the dynamics between stereotyping and self-representation, it will appeal to scholars of gender, religion, media, and cultural diversity.

The Role of Muslim Women in Islam by Kehinde Ogunmuyiwa Pdf

In Allah's sight, there is no distinction between men and women: Both have the same rights and duties, both are equally rewarded or punished according to their deeds, and both are equally valued as Allah's creations. However, throughout history, there have been negative social constructs, which have their origins in cultural practices and traditions that do not honor women's rights. Such stereotypes created around women stand in direct opposition to the teachings of Allah and His Messengers (peace be upon them). In the pre-Islamic era, women used to live in a society that fully denied their status and rights to live independently. After the divine revelation of the Holy Quran, one of the steps that Islam took to rehabilitate the woman's status was to grant them social and legal benefits; as for Islamic law, the woman is equal to the man in all essential rights. Overall, Islam has focused on an important fact: Women have to access all opportunities, which could enable them to develop their inner abilities and enjoy a prosperous life. Islam has always considered women as independent human beings, who function in their own individual rights. The Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) also highlights the importance given to the role of women, since Allah's messenger celebrated the women's contributions to society and campaigned for their rights while condemning any kind of discrimination and abuse against them. Muslim women have helped significantly to spreading the Quranic message and played an active role in the social and political affairs around the world over time. This book is for readers to grasp Allah's teachings about the main roles of Muslim women in society. What's more, it answers one of the fundamental questions about gender equality in this religion: What is the true importance of women in Islam?

The role of women in Islam by Anonim Pdf

Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Orientalism / Sinology - Islamic Studies, grade: 1,3, University of Regensburg, language: English, abstract: Here, the role of women in Islam is described on the basis of 3 phenomena and then described and explained in more detail by editing the novel "Girls of Riyadh". Saudi Arabia is known as a country full of wealth with many famous tourist attractions, such as the Burj Khalifa, where guest workers can find work and where the kingdom through its rulers leaves a highly regarded presentative impression. But the image of the oppressed woman who strives for equality and who longs for justice for women can also be recognized. Saudi Arabia is a country where the value of women and their equal rights is still far underdeveloped. But this image may change.

Beyond the Veil, Revised Edition by Fatima Mernissi Pdf

From the writing of her first book, Beyond the Veil: Male-Female Dynamics in Modern Muslim Society in 1975, Mernissi has sought to reclaim the ideological discourse on women and sexuality from the stranglehold of patriarchy. She critically examines the classical corpus of religious-juristic texts, including the Hadith, and reinterprets them from a feminist perspective. In her view, the Muslim ideal of the silent, passive, obedient woman has nothing to do with the authentic message of Islam. Rather, it is a construction of the 'ulama', the male jurists-theologians who manipulated and distorted the religious texts in order to preserve the patriarchal system. Mernissi's work explores the relationship between sexual ideology, gender identity, sociopolitical organization, and the status of women in Islam; her special focus, however, is Moroccan society and culture. As a feminist, her work represents an attempt to undermine the ideological and political systems that silence and oppress Muslim women.

Do Muslim Women Need Saving? by Lila Abu-Lughod Pdf

Frequent reports of honor killings, disfigurement, and sensational abuse have given rise to a consensus in the West, a message propagated by human rights groups and the media: Muslim women need to be rescued. Lila Abu-Lughod boldly challenges this conclusion. An anthropologist who has been writing about Arab women for thirty years, she delves into the predicaments of Muslim women today, questioning whether generalizations about Islamic culture can explain the hardships these women face and asking what motivates particular individuals and institutions to promote their rights. In recent years Abu-Lughod has struggled to reconcile the popular image of women victimized by Islam with the complex women she has known through her research in various communities in the Muslim world. Here, she renders that divide vivid by presenting detailed vignettes of the lives of ordinary Muslim women, and showing that the problem of gender inequality cannot be laid at the feet of religion alone. Poverty and authoritarianism—conditions not unique to the Islamic world, and produced out of global interconnections that implicate the West—are often more decisive. The standard Western vocabulary of oppression, choice, and freedom is too blunt to describe these women's lives. Do Muslim Women Need Saving? is an indictment of a mindset that has justified all manner of foreign interference, including military invasion, in the name of rescuing women from Islam—as well as a moving portrait of women's actual experiences, and of the contingencies with which they live.
