Today, the issue of Muslim women is held hostage between two
perceptions: an ultra-conservative Islamic approach and a liberal
Western approach. At the heart of this debate Muslim women are finding
their voices and calling for the rejuvenation of the Islamic spirit of
equality and liberation that is at the heart of the Qur’an. However, with few female commentators on the meaning of the Qur’an
and an overreliance on the readings of the Qur’an compiled centuries ago
in different circumstances to today, this message is often lost. By acknowledging the systemic injustice frequently experienced by
Muslim women in today’s societies in the name of religion; and also
rejecting a perspective that seeks to promote Western values as the only
means of liberating them, the author is able to define a third way. One
in which their refusal to remain silent in the face of injustice is an
act of devotion and their demand for reform, within the guidelines laid
out by God, will lead to liberation.
