Why Muslim Women are Re-interpreting the Qur`an and Hadith: A Transformative Scholarship-Activism

Other Titles

Abstract

In order to challenge and transform the un-Islamic views of women as secondary in the structure of Muslim societies, women have retaken their principal role and reinterpreted the primary source of Islam, the Qur'an. As changes in the global political landscape were coupled with the Muslims' elevating the Prophetic tradition to the level of the Quran, Muslims women's scholarship-activism is progressing into more radical steps and they are declaring themselves as authority in Quranic and Prophetic sciences. Such transformative solutions represent the only hope for a meaningful reform in Muslim societies.
