Feminist Theology in Islam

Feminist theology in Islam explores how Islamic texts, traditions, and practices relate to women’s rights and gender equality. It seeks to interpret the Quran and Hadith in ways that challenge patriarchy and promote justice, emphasizing that gender discrimination is not rooted in core Islamic principles. This approach advocates for women’s empowerment, equitable treatment, and recognition of women’s roles within faith and society, often re-examining historical interpretations to align with contemporary understandings of equality and dignity for all genders.
