Monday Majlis: The QurÊ¾Än and Its Masculine God: A Historical Feminist Analysis
2024-05-27 17:00 - 18:30 | Online
A major pursuit of hermeneutic feminists is to modify the traditional understanding of the QurÊ¾Än in order to present a pattern of gender equality, and consequently, enhance the status of women in Islam. While they emphasize the historical view and the non-selective approach to the QurÊ¾Änic verses, they deviate from these assumptions in practice. In particular, when it comes to the supernatural realm of the QurÊ¾Än, especially AllÄhâ€™s character, they portray it as devoid of sexism, repression, and discrimination.http://www.exeter.ac.uk/events/details/?event=13635
