Islamic feminist theology

Islamic feminist theology is a movement that seeks to interpret and understand Islamic teachings from a perspective that promotes gender justice and equality. It challenges traditional gender roles and seeks to empower women within an Islamic context by reexamining religious texts, emphasizing core principles of compassion, fairness, and justice. This approach aims to reconcile faith with contemporary values of gender equality, advocating for women's rights while respecting Islamic religious beliefs. Islamic feminist theology is diverse, with scholars and activists working toward a more inclusive, equitable understanding of Islam that affirms women's dignity and agency.
