Feminist Theology and Social Justice in Islam: A Study on the Sermon of Fatima

Description

Feminist Theology and Social Justice in Islam presents a comprehensive examination of Islamic feminist thought through the lens of the Sermon of Fatima, one of Islam’s most significant religious texts. Author Mahjabeen Dhala conducts an in-depth analysis of how this sermon addresses issues of justice, dignity, and social responsibility.

The book bridges traditional Islamic scholarship with contemporary feminist theory, demonstrating how Islamic theology can be reinterpreted to support gender equality and social justice. Dhala explores the Sermon of Fatima’s historical context, its theological implications, and its relevance to modern struggles for women’s rights and social reform within Muslim communities.

Through rigorous academic analysis, the work challenges conventional interpretations while remaining grounded in Islamic tradition. It addresses critical intersections between religious faith, feminist consciousness, and activism, offering valuable insights for scholars, theologians, and activists engaged in progressive Islamic thought.
