Gender equity in Islam
Book Description
In this concise yet comprehensive exploration, Dr. Jamal Badawi offers readers a thoughtful examination of women's place within Islamic teachings and tradition. Drawing directly from the Qur'an and Sunnah, this work illuminates how Islam addresses questions of gender roles and women's rights across multiple dimensions of life.
The author guides readers through the spiritual foundations that shape Islamic perspectives on gender, while also exploring how these principles translate into social, economic, and political realities for Muslim women. Rather than presenting abstract theological concepts, Badawi connects scriptural teachings to practical questions about women's participation in society and their recognized rights within Islamic law.
This accessible study serves both those seeking to understand Islamic teachings on gender from within the faith tradition and readers approaching these questions from other perspectives. The work examines not only what Islamic sources say about women's status, but also how Islamic scholars have historically interpreted and applied these teachings to contemporary issues.
At just 70 pages, this focused exploration provides essential insights for anyone interested in understanding how one of the world's major religions approaches questions of gender equity. The author's systematic approach makes complex theological and legal concepts accessible to general readers while maintaining scholarly rigor in examining the foundational sources that inform Islamic thought on these vital social questions.
