Islamic feminism: A contradiction in terms?

https://www.eurozine.com/islamic-feminism-contradiction-terms/
Islamic feminism critiques Islamic patriarchy by historicizing and reinterpreting sources of scriptural authority. Secular feminists, however, rule out any possible compatibility between feminism and Islam. Belgian social scientist Ghaliya Djelloul reviews the arguments and suggests a way past restrictive dichotomies.

Within, Without: Dialogical Perspectives on Feminism and Islam
Sara Ashencaen Crabtree & Fatima Husain
Religion and Gender, Vol 2, 1, 2012, pp 128-149
This paper offers an ontological and literary review of Muslim women’s religious practices across the Muslim ummah, in considering the development of an epistemology of faith and feminism within the Islamic schema. Our aim is to explore the diverse constructions of autopoiesis in reference to feminism, faith and spirituality in relation to Islam as both a religious and a cultural phenomenon. To this end, global examples of faith-based practice are reviewed, where issues of dominant and minority cultures and values refer to how Muslim faith practices are enacted within the local context. The authors use a dyadic, auto-ethnographic methodology to explore their own personal, political and spiritual positioning as feminists from a Muslim, immigrant and secular British background. The significance of women’s spiritual and feminist dimensions in the context of faith, nationhood and embodiment of ideological positions are analysed. Additionally, religious, cultural and geo-political implications of feminism and Islam are considered regarding identity, culture and tradition, and religious resurgence, together with forms of feminist resistance to religious doctrine. Finally, the search by women for spiritual authority and authenticity is discussed.

Last week, on October 14, I had the glorious opportunity to listen to a lecture by Dr. Amina Wadud on “Islam, Feminism and Human Rights” at Leiden University in the Netherlands. There’s something about strong, intelligent and compelling Muslim women that makes me want to hop on the next train to the next city.

#feminism #decolonization
This issue archives the ongoing revolts from a queer, feminist, and intersectional perspective. Here we reflect, collectively and across borders, on what constitutes a revolution, and account for the invisible labor and histories that go into a revolution in the making. We also document what feminist organizing looks like in revolutionary times, and trace our personal/collective/political narratives as feminists. Additionally, we attempt to provide critical readings and analyses on state, mainstream, and alternative discourses and strategies, as well as reconciling our political imaginaries when faced with cooptation, intimidation, and failed potential.

Muslim feminist hermeneutical methods to the Qur'an attempts to challenge conservative interpretations that tend to sustain hegemonic knowledge construction and the patriarchal reading of the texts. Implementation of this approach shows that the Qur'an is compatible with modernity and supports gender equality. They offer a new paradigm in reading the...
Doing justice to the Qur’ān: Must it be read as a male-privileging text?
Asma Barlas, 4 Apr 2022
https://www.abc.net.au/religion/asma-barlas-reading-the-quran-justly/13825432
Many people today — especially secular feminists — judge the Qur’ān through the prism of minority trends within contemporary feminist discourses, and consequently find it lacking. This is disingenuous since we know that it is not a feminist text. In the end, it is up to us whether we read justice or injustice into the Qur’ān. I read it as the word of a Creator who is just, merciful, and non-partisan. If we can find this God in our hearts, perhaps we will also be able to find more ethical ways of knowing one another.

Interview with Dina El Omari on feminism and Islam
"Muslim women need space for critical self-reflection"
Is there such a thing as a feminist Islam? If there is, it is hard to define. Instead, there are different interpretations and above all female Muslim theologians who do not use the term "feminism" to describe what they do, namely interpret the Koran in a gender-equal way. An interview with theologian Dina El Omari
