Feminism in Islam

Feminism in Islam refers to the advocacy for women's rights and equality within the framework of Islamic teachings. It emphasizes interpreting the Quran and Hadith in a way that promotes justice, dignity, and equal opportunities for women, challenging cultural practices that may oppress them. Islamic feminists seek to highlight that many principles of Islam support gender equity and empowerment, advocating for education, fair treatment, and participation in all aspects of society. This movement aims to reconcile faith with gender justice, emphasizing that gender equality is compatible with Quranic values and can lead to more inclusive, progressive communities.
