I also undertake that any quotation or paraphrase from the published or unpublished work of another person has been duly acknowledged in the work which I present for examination. Signed: ____________________________ Date: _________________ 2 Abstract The “Woman question” in Islam, under its various titles – “women in Islam”, “women’s rights in Islam”, “the status of women in Islam”, “gender in Islam” – is one that has been a topic of heated debate for the last century, and continues to be a field of intense debate and thriving scholarship. Likewise, pioneers of modern Islamic reform are often referred to in relation to modern discourses on gender, and the issue of gender is often touched on in discussions of these pioneers’ reform projects, but often in a generic and superficial manner. While the Egyptian reformist scholar Muhammad µAbduh is a figure often referred to in this context, this aspect of his thought has never been studied in detail. This study aims to deepen the study of these two questions – gender and reform – and the intersection between them. Various general books on “the father of Islamic reform” exist, often devoting a few pages to “women’s reform” (or more commonly referring to the question of women’s reform under the few pages devoted to µAbduh’s “social reform”), creating a rather vague view of this critical figure’s views on this topical question, often with unsubstantiated generalisations. This study aims at addressing this through a detailed study and analysis of µAbduh’s own discourse on women in order to discover its themes, distinctive characteristics, the questions it poses and the answers it attempts to give, as well as the tensions and contradictions within it. The study locates the gender question within the bigger context of the reform discourse that emerged in a specific historical context in response to the Muslim world’s encounter with modernity. The study further addresses the extent of µAbduh’s influence on subsequent discourses on women and his legacy which continues to be contested and competed over. The study provides, for the first time, a detailed study of µAbduh’s writings on women and gender, based on primary sources, and addresses the overlaps between various rival trends often seen as distinct, pointing to the multiple and diverse roots of the contemporary genre of “Muslim feminism”, which indeed draws influence from the reformist views of µAbduh, but not necessarily through a single linear and coherent route. 3 Table of Contents Acknowledgements……………………………………………….…………….…………8 Introduction……………………………………………………….………………….……9 1 Muhammad µAbduh, Father of Modern Islamic Reform 1.1 Context, Influences………………………………………..…………………………50 1.1.1 Revival, Reformism and Modernism………………….…………….…………...50 1.1.2 Rural Origins: Simplicity, Conservatism, Pride………………….……………...51 1.1.3 Sufism: Sheikh Darwish……………………………….………………………...52 1.1.4 Al-Azhar: Orthodoxy and Sufi Reformism……………………….……………..53 1.1.5 Afghani: Politicisation…………………………………….…….……………….54 1.1.6 Western Influences: How Significant?..................................................................55 1.2 The Many faces of µAbduh………………………….…………………….………….57 1.2.1 Educator…………………………………………………………….….………...58 1.2.2 Social Reformer………………………………………………...….….…………61 1.2.3 Political Activist and Leader………………………….……………….…………63 1.2.4 Jurist and Mufti…………………………………….………………….…………68 1.2.5 Religious Reformer…………………………….…………………....….………..71 1.3 µAbduh’s Legacy.……………………………………………………...….………….78 2 The Woman Question in Nineteenth-Century Egypt 2.1 The Nineteenth Century: A Time of Change……………………………..………….79 2.2 Travel literature: East and West Through Travelogues’ Eyes………………..……...82 2.2.1 Al->ah~¥wÏ in Paris……………………………………………………..………..82 2.2.2 Edward Lane and Stanley Lane-Poole in Egypt…………………….…………...86 2.3 Historical accounts of the occupier and occupied………………………..…………..91 2.3.1 Al-JabartÏ and the French invasion………………………………….…………...91 2.3.2 Lord Cromer and the British occupation………………………………….……..93 4 2.4 Reformist discourses: “Elevation of woman” central to elevation of the nation;

  • Social Guarantee for Women in the Quran: Theory and Reality
    Social Guarantee for Women in the Quran: Theory and Reality Syamruddin Nasution1 and Khoiruddin Nasution2 1UIN Sultan Syarif Kasim, Pekanbaru 2UIN Sunan Kalijaga, Yogyakarta Keywords: social, guarantee, justice, equal, status, wife and husband. Abstract: Islam is a religion of renewal. The renewed aspects of Islam can be grouped into five. First is the belief system of the polytheist system that is renewed into monotheistic. Second, the familial system of the patriarchal system that becomes bilateral & egalitarian. Third, the social system of hierarchical-structured that becomes egalitarian. Fourth, the economic system of the bourgeois-capitalistthat is reformed to a justice economy. Fifth, the collective (tribal) responsibility system that is renewed by Islam to become individual. The role of wife is one of many that is renewed by Islam in regards of the familial system. In line with it, in Indonesia where Muslim is the majority, it has tried various efforts to ensure the social justice that Islam provides to the wife. One of these efforts is enacted in marriage regulation in which wife quite hard in rights like it should be. This paper seeks to show the social justice that Islam provides for women with thematic studies of the Quran. Then shows why social security provided by Islam has not been obtained in society or even judiciary, especially the Islamic Courts in Indonesia. In fact, from 106 cases coming to the Islamic Court, only two of them providing the guarantee of the right of wife. 1 INTRODUCTION majority of thinkers still understand the Qur’an partially. Likewise, the available books are still Islam is a religion of renewal.

    Master of Arts Intercultural Theology Georg-August-Universität Göttingen August 2020 Narrative of Mary and Maryam as An Alternative Solution for Intolerance in Indonesia Submitted by: Mikhael Sihotang 21801251 Supervised by: PD. Dr. Fritz Heinrich Prof. Dr. Peter Gemeinhardt 1 Acknowledgement It never occurred to me that the universe would actually take me to Germany to continue my theological education to a master level. I was clueless. It is true that since I was a child I often shared my dream of studying in Germany, even though if I was asked at that time how would I get to Germany, I would not give any answers. The fact that I come from an ordinary family, financially, this dream seemed even more impossible to me then. However, thanks to the help of many noble people around me this dream has finally come true and I left for Germany in October 2018. I confidently can claim it was one of the happiest moments I have ever had. This happiness was beyond description. I was so amazed that I had difficulty accepting this dream really come true. Even until a few months living in Germany, I was still often pensive and had difficulty believing that I was actually sitting in a class at Goettingen University, Germany with 22 other students from 16 countries. So fabulous. For this precious opportunity, I would like to humbly dedicate this thesis to all those who have played their part in helping me achieving many things to date. First, I want to dedicate this thesis to the Lord Jesus Christ who has provided me many things needed to ensure this journey of mind and spiritual come to the reality.

In the United States, Muslim women find ways to negotiate their identities, express their concerns, and learn through their faith by means of Islamic scholarship, Islamic feminism, and reinterpretations of the Quran. They are reconciling their multifaceted identities with better understanding of sacred text as well as solidifying their desired gender roles within their communities. They are challenging norms and creating new spaces for themselves within the ummah as well as the United States. American Muslim women find courage, strength, and autonomy through Islamic feminist traditions, solidarity with like-minded men and women from their own and other faith traditions, and community-based outreach programs fueled by their faith and compassion.

SALCBM AKHTAH Ex. Dean & Chairman DEPARTMENT OF LAW ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) zaaz T6C.68 ABSTRACT The requirement of our age make it necessary to examine and weigh once more many Islamic legal matters about which it is no longer enough to accept the old assessment with the passage of time. There is no clarity in the mind of people regarding sources of Islamic law, which influence all the matters relating to it. The most fundamental problem concerning the system of family rights, or atleast one which is one of the same level as the fundamental and complex is, firstly, how parties negotiate in marriage contract? Secondly, whether this give the right to choice to the parties ? and when there is denial of consent by parents and when her consent in marriage was not generally thought to be necessary. So women was obliged to submit to the wishes of her parents, this directly conflict with religious, legal and secular norms in contemporary society globally. Marriage under Islam is a unique institution. The institution of marriage which constitutes the foundation of personal, family and community relationship, is the backbone of our social system in the society of Islam, has been the subject matter of judicial interpretation in India. It is first considered in famous case of Abdul Qadir Vs Salima. The Islamic institution of marriage is known as Nikah/Aqd.

  • Sayyid Qutb's Views on Women in Tafsir Fi Zilal Al-Quran
    JURNAL SULTAN ALAUDDIN SULAIMAN SHAH e-ISSN: 2289-8042 VOL 4 BIL 2 (2017) Sayyid Qutb’s Views on Women In Tafsir fi Zilal al-Quran: An Analysis Pandangan Sayyid Qutb Tentang Wanita dalam Tafsir fi Zilal al-Quran: Satu Analisa Husna Husain1 ABSTRACT The position of women in Muslim societies is a controversial topic of numerous debates and extensive literature. Matters about hijab, women's position as second class as well as the role of women in the family is among arguments that is thrown by critics to show that Islam degrades the women's position. Similar allegations, however, said to Sayyid Qutb, who has been recognized as the greatest innovator in Islamic thought in the twentieth century as well as a commonly misunderstood Islamic scholar. This article will look at this accusation against Sayyid Qutb objectively through investigating his original works to reveal his real views on the topics. The result shows that Sayyid Qutb views on women are constant throughout his entire literature writings and he can sustain and defend his sympathy to women in this era, and try to better their condition by the way back to the fundamentals of Islam. Keywords: Women In Islam, Sayyid Qutb, Women in Society, ABSTRAK Kedudukan wanita dalam masyarakat Islam adalah satu topik yang kontroversi dan mengundang pelbagai perbahasan serta kajian dan penulisan yang mendalam. Perkara- perkara berkaitan kewajipan hijab, kedudukan rendah wanita berbanding lelaki dan peranan wanita dalam institusi keluarga adalah antara topik yang sering ditimbulkan oleh para pengkritik dengan tujuan untuk menunjukkan Islam merendah-rendahkan wanita. Tuduhan tersebut turut dilontarkan kepada Sayid Qutb yang terkenal sebagai mujaddid dalam pemikiran Islam pada abad ke-20.

  • Investigating the Effect of Gender on Consultation from the Perspective of Quran and Islamic Traditions
    Special Issue INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND May 2016 CULTURAL STUDIES ISSN 2356-5926 Investigating the effect of gender on consultation from the perspective of Quran and Islamic Traditions Mohammad Etratdoost PhD, Jurisprudence and Principles of Islamic Law, University of Qom, Iran [email protected] Abstract At first glance, it is very difficult for each Muslim man and woman that men are recommended not to consult with women. What is more important is that in some cases, the lack of women's intellectuality has been introduced as the reason for not consulting with them. Today, the presence of women in the scientific community and their expertise in different areas has increased dramatically when compared to the past. Is it possible to believe that consultation with women is absolutely prohibited in Islamic tradition? This study tried to answer this question using a descriptive-analytical design and library data collection. The results showed that firstly, the lack of women's intellectuality doesn't mean the lack of their values and only refers to some genetic differences which cause the power of men in thinking and the power of women in feeling. This also means the relative weakness of women in empirical reasoning that is created by the socio-cultural situations throughout history. Secondly, the Quranic verses and the tradition state that women can also reach the salvation and that they directly or indirectly ordain consulting with women and accepting their advisory vote. The Islamic traditions stating the prohibition of consulting with woman are just mentioned to be applied to some certain cases.
