Central to the appeal of those who believe that islamic feminism is an exam run or that islam and feminism are contradictory in fact they need to check their own ascensions when you believe in feminism you cant exclude other woman and other struggles from this collective struggle weather wise youre not true to your feminist ethics. 3 islamic feminist especially one to empower a practicing muslim women to help them in cause their rights as mothers wives and citizens. According to islamic tradition men hold sway over women as guardians they decide on education independence work choice of husband. Tunisian follows e. S. R. Fi has been a muslim feminist ever since she was young. She studied physics in paris in the 1950s. For a long time she taught at the university of tunis one of the few women to do so. Shes concerned that women internees in cities are increasingly wearing headscarves again. I like think back to that time of birth. I met my father and mother of it. Back then the women were all dressed like europeans in general to my comment i love to share my grandmother also because she didnt always wear headscarves when she was at home she was just herself. If there are just slightly egyptian women to see and women whove been struggling since the start of the 20th century with the defense team say. In 1956 tunisia gained its independence the 1st president had beeper saw him self as an advocate for women he should in the considerable improvements like the prohibition of polygamy divorce laws and the introduction of a minimum age for marriage. Girls and women gained access to schools universities and the labor market. In. Electronics and with independence in 1986 president paul gilbert took the hill on iraq shows that will have gone crazy though he was convinced that women should be emancipated and goodly 5 and women were supported by their fathers and grandfathers very early on thats how it was with me my father thought that academic success was very important. For you always made sure that my Educational Development was taken as seriously as my brothers or men did because the more focused. The bright oh heck my academy of sciences is located on the gulf of tunis 5 thick volumes of books originated here titled the quranic text and its variants up them as she char field work for years on the contextualization of the quran jewish and christian sources were analyzed including aramaic and syrian literature the latest edition sheds new light on the familiar text. On the quran itself as revelation wasnt taxed so. It was not a fixed written text. So the document tweet. Today this revelation cynic you know is merely the work of people to pad maryville a short memory. It isnt the revelation itself but of the why. In the the work we do helps muslims and also normal to do away with the literal reading of the text in the mix do you need to read these 3 d. Text. See to me its an approach that usually leads to greater interest in the spirit of the text. Rather than in the literal meaning to question that. Nearly all of the quran 114 suras contain a lot of ambiguity. So we ask question how do we know what we know how do we know if this interpretation is actually an interpretation of what god had in mind how do we know if this is a source of authority why does male scholars through a dissenter use had more authority than a woman today living in one context when the stand this takes from on experience from a womans perspective tunisia is the most liberal Muslim Country in the region even so reforms are needed islamic scholar of the usaf has written extensively on issues like inheritance law polygamy and homosexuality as they relate to the quran use of compares the interpretations of male scholars from the middle ages to those of today and critiques their positions because of past shes been threatened by islamists. A love similar to a lot of. You know. That it is a thought that in. A lot of the. People who are youll be. Yeah. A lot a lot of. Thought 24 the light verse 35 this 1st cause very much to my heart because it addresses god its light. Evoke do i see this light as the spark of consciousness that encompasses every. Things people animals and things do you know it confirms that god is everything and that there is only one. It can exist and god. Knew. That no one knows the interpretation blackguardly the problem isnt ambiguity on the contrary i think these ambiguous readings arent assets they allow the text to open up the problem more the problem comes when someone thinks ok this is the meaning not love this is the truth and im going to impose it on others into the lump or is it that. You cant just settle for what other people say you can listen to that ask questions if you read books in fact you should and sometimes you must but above all you have to take responsibility for your own interpretation. Christianity and islam all 3 religions refer to a common patriarch favor. I believe that there are women who are trying to reconcile their faith with. Their own Human Dignity however they can but 1st suddenly i believe feminism is either secular or its not especially if were talking about the model taste religions theyre very patriarchal all 3 of them i mean women is just so great that islamic feminists have found arguments for the equality of man and woman in the koran story of creation in syria for verse one god didnt create the woman from the rib of the man he created an original song not saying where you are taking him which is a feminine term in arabic and took muslims for. The injustices of their time to the justice of their time it gave women many important rights in the patriarchal culture of 7th century arabia but at that time the national of justice didnt include the idea of equality between man and woman because gender equality is a modern concept. To be learning in a shape on why the. Psni larry or rough marry or why he. Doesnt look at her been in a lowly lies easy lyerly obviously very odd really though bishop the belayer i believe. All. Who were ill a healing mostly of. I chose this series called half of a giving birth because i love to give miserable power to god created us in my sleep even before he was asked for forgiveness among the public. Doesnt spend much time in france anymore she left the country because of rising islamophobia and now lives in london. She too sees islam as a source of empowerment for women its said that mohammed gave dignity back to disenfranchised women. In tree Islamic Society in arabia women have the same status as animals or possessions they didnt have the right to inheritance they were the inheritance you girls were killed at birth then islam came along and said no women must also have the right to inherit that change in women status back then was revolutionary women with no rights who could be killed given away became people with the right to inherit property. Put simply sirrah for verse 11 states that a woman should inherit about half of what a man gets. The reason for the un equal treatment is that women didnt usually bear responsibility for providing for their family. So it was taken for granted that men should be allocated the larger share of an inheritance. So this is. Easy the verse says that half the share of inheritance is the guaranteed minimum for women but theres nothing wrong with giving more than that. These days women work they participate in family life i split expenses with my husband 50 was having more money as a source and i pay my taxes like a man simple like any citizen. Is is it actually justifiable through religion that i only get half. As much as my parents inheritance. When the koran doesnt oppose equality in that situation still force but i think they get no no no no. The quran and laus men to have up to 4 wives critics of islam claim this isnt a such any an instrument of male domination. There are 3 verses that talk about polygamy in the question is what i to me sat in this what are titled women and you look at the 1st verse it gives you the 1st step solution you can marry 1. 00 to 4. 00 wives so you cant now marry 10. 15 it is restricted then you have a 2nd verse that comes and says you have to treat all of these wives equally so you cant just its not just a maximum you also have to keep in mind justice and equality but then you have a 3rd verse that comes and these folk verse well versed say is its not actually even if you want to be equal god knows that you cant be male into protests or actually x. Will look at this verse and say the quran gave me the right to marry 4 wives but they dont look at the 2 order verses do you treat them equally even if you claim that you do god says that you cant. The the head scarf for women is one of his lambs most controversial requirements especially in the west that what is the quran actually say. And can feminists wear headscarves. When it was a context of fantasy were here in a french context in an environment that is vehemently opposed to the headscarf i am a rebel a militant feminist it would look i dont want anyone to tell me whether i can wear a. Headscarf or not. Im lucky enough not to be pressured by anyone in my family. My mother was against me wearing one in senegal but i told her that i hadnt asked for her opinion of you so much why would i want to wear it one day and not the next i dont care what people think its awful. So in the name of gender equality we are now denying muslim woman to control their own bodies to appear in the public space we are punishing them by excluding them from the schools and now there are people who talk about banning the double so in university we are excluding them from workplaces we are explaining them from nature activities in the minds of right wing movements and french radicals the canaries they became an obsession. The vast most often used to prescribe their socalled islamic headscarves to say. Good is a virus that simply says to move the covering can be used by the female therapist to put 3 in there for me but that has nothing to do with the requirement to cover their hand. Or do. You let them. Slide it in. And. Sit. In the clubs because the helical inside them and i look at a book and. I love. Them so the law allows them. This is. From the koran actually this is the 1st suitor that prophet mohammed has received and here god is ordering him to read and this shows the importance of reading and how people should learn more every time to become better people in her cheek in the omani capital muskat. E. C. Designs what she calls modest fashion that is fashion that embodies islamic values around the world muslim women spend billions on clothing and accessories every year already she is a mother of 3 a successful Fashion Designer and a devout muslim most of her employees are men islam has always respected women and always treated the woman the right way so i think where i feel so lucky being a muslim because islam gave me all my rights its not about being a male or a female its about if you can earn it if you can work hard to get it. You can say that im a super woman and i can do everything on my own i dont believe that this can happen like for me to have things run properly for me to be a successful interpreter i need the support of my husband because being a mom is very important but there are some days where im so busy like today i have a long day of appointments and i woke up this morning my daughter was sick so my husband decided that he will take the day off just making sure that someone is taking care of my daughter and that i can get my important things done. This is going to be my Autumn Winter collection next year and basically its inspired by. The patterns of traditional armani dresses like the abaya is something that you see everyone wearing now but its actually not part of our tradition its something that came in later on and became so trendy that everyone started wearing it but when you go back to traditional dresses then theyre so colorful so full of patterns and completely different than i buy it. Since the 970 s. Saudi arabia and other Oil Producing states have gained influence in the islamic world guest workers took their experiences back to other muslim nations. Meanwhile the rich ruling elite systematically invested in media as well as financing schools and mosques all this led to the exportation of a highly conservative interpretation of islam. The iranian people who overthrew the shah in 979. 00 partly due to an anti capitalist movement that wanted to end the political and economic influence of the United States. The left wing liberals and communists including many women played a major role they couldnt foresee how they situation would deteriorate under the islamic regime with its rigid legal system controlled by shiite religious scholars. Write. A sequel here send the potus should really really its not the koran sharia is a muslim law is a collection of regulations that were written lets say 2 centuries after the revelation that give us your the. Defensible thing about it is the position of women souk like the stoning of women who commit adultery loose the truth theres no such thing in the text of the koran theres certainly famine due to all sentencing someone to death for turning away from the religion to see lepers this is that doesnt exist in those terms in the text of the koran zuma sit in piss clips yaki so today its very important to explain to people who want to practice islam that there are differences between quranic text and sharia in the field also heard with their school i need it lash out here. Perhaps the most controversial passage in the quran is sura for 1st 34 does it really call for men to physically abuse their wives if they rebel. Well. The shoes are on the fly although not quite true one of the models of what that is when. She tries this is the level of i chose the verse from the sword or. The woman because it symbolizes the superiority of that allah the god of islam grants to man over women of this of its only fun. At universities and europe and the United States islamic feminists in particular have questioned the center potations. I dont want to hear about interest you know i think as if i believed her was a silly charge i can read arabic because like most arabs raygun us of the word means. This is what islamic scholars talk about the ones who explain the verses page by page in their garage miles and miles just to say that you should be women say gently. But theyre still saying. What is this d. N. A. Of 5 cherokee muslim a tradition and we found out that all this this community very interpretations could be traced to one verse which is various 434. 00 from sort of to mr you have the word of the people will know which was the word that actually raised most of the controversies and i encourage you to look at the studies and the books that have been books written just about the small words you know the true and back its meaning and again if you look at this word traditionally it has been interpreted and translated as being as meaning beating and also used to justify the fact that men could beat their wives when you look at the internal oshie and what this word how this word was used in order instances in the court and it is used for complete order. They finish and purposes for example its used when moyes is putting his stick you know there to separate. To see into. The word that is use is and that. Its not it doesnt mean beating this into patients for example would highlight the fact that this is actually a solution given by god whenever you have a conflict dont act aggressively but instead just separate the bed. Put there convey to delist see imperiled the sick it eventually is out you dont see iffy at 1st the result arent good dear going over so it still had his on the low. Can it it accompanied their knowledge to not of the ability daughter michelle could that if t. In a could do vs have to choose their c. Dos so what. Explain the effect this verse says that the prophet was there to deliver the divine revelation. Was not a political leader. In your god alone is the guardian of all things not the prophet ripoff that includes religion. I think its a great shame going into todays world for a group of muslims although not all of them belong to a socalled political islam see the attack that unfortunately this is spreading them this is an attempt to islam our society as though islam should determine everything from its justice to education to the status of women resolve to. Religion shouldnt dominate public life really specially bleak thats what im fighting against on the of juggling shoe. Shine i think that public spaces are there for social interactions. We cant allow women to be excluded from certain spaces in this day and age or exclude this person. I. Am a cross secular activist fiercely because if we dont separate state and religion and our countries we are never going to be a modern civilized were the states never im not but just talking about lebanon im talking about everywhere you cannot mix religion with. With politics hostler thats my hope is that many people arent afraid of emancipation in the mancipation it doesnt take anything from people its the opposite they give so much like joy and i knew just. Covering the only thing we have to do of course is now and then treat if not i would never take him before beginning just one of these camps. Tunisias revolution had a lot to do with emancipation. After the overthrow of the dictator tunisians adopted a constitution that put women and men on equal footing. Women are now allowed to marry non muslims and violence against women is an offense. If you use the resources this virus and i mean that positively well it is here today to the agents talk about homosexuality and islam that they talk about equality in inheritance law and in islam they discuss the relationship between being muslim and being a citizen in a democratic country and try to overcome the division and the problems. But still some say its impossible to be a muslim or down especially a muslim woman and modern or that its impossible to be muslim and to stand for absolute equality between men and women. In the struggle for an islamic feminism muslim women are rising up and fighting their way towards emancipation with bravery and wisdom. If you look even at the one of the most advanced european european mom countries very few have 5050 percent representation between men and women and its appalling i mean like for example when i look at it sometimes. Of the leaders of the prime ministers of europe when theyre gathered all to. Gather and i see just Angela Merkel and maybe one other woman and then all men say this is europe whats happening this is 2900 and europe what then are we supposed to do here if that is europe you know what i mean so you have a lot to do as well dont think that it is over. Ourselves to. Live in cloud. And heres. Thinking the world in a more poetic. P. R. To. Interview. Him personally yourself its not easy to go to another country and know nothing about the film do this because we cant stay on venezuela. That. Closely global news that matters d. W. Made for mines.
