Publisher description
Following the birth of Islamic feminism at the end of the twentieth century, the idea of gender equality - inherent to our contemporary conceptions of justice - has presented a challenge to established, patriarchal interpretations of Shari'a law. Through a series of thoughtful, enlightening conversations, Ziba Mir-Hosseini explores journeys towards gender equality in Islam with six influential Muslim intellectuals - Abdullahi An-Na'im, Amina Wadud, Asma Lamrabet, Khaled Abou El Fadl, Mohsen Kadivar and Sedigheh Vasmaghi. Beginning from the premise that the Qur'an indicates the path towards justice, rather than a precise definition of justice, they discuss how new forms of scholarship and activism are speaking to gender equality from within the Islamic legal framework
