This Arabic-language lecture will take place at 16.30 BST
From the outset, Muslim women feminists focused their interpretive and reformist efforts on the 蚕耻谤鈥檃苍ic text. They examined foundational tafsirs to identify discriminatory gender discourses and patriarchal constructions of womanhood that have shaped the understanding and interpretation of gender relations within the Islamic paradigm. The early pioneering generation of Muslim women scholars began by exposing and critiquing these biases and misinterpretations within the historical, social, and cultural contexts of their times. This effort mainly focused on a close re-reading and analysis of various verses and concepts related to gender in the 蚕耻谤鈥檃苍Muslims believe that the Holy 蚕耻谤鈥檃苍 contains divine revelations to the Prophet Muhammed received in Mecca and Medina over a period of 23 years in the early 7th century CE. More. It has led to the production of a substantial body of research and numerous studies in 蚕耻谤鈥檃苍ic interpretation, offering alternative understandings based on diverse approaches and methodologies.
This presentation will tackle such a gender-sensitive perspective using a holistic and multi-dimensional approach to the Qur’anic vision and discourse, focusing on justice, equity, and beauty. The main levels of discussion are: (a) the egalitarian perspective; (b) the social and liberational perspective; (c) the ethical dimension; and (d) the aesthetic and textual dimension. Lastly, this lecture will discuss the intersection between the decolonial perspective and 鈥淢uslimah鈥 theology.
