Omschrijving
This volume challenges longstanding interpretative practices in reading the Qur’an and invites readers to discover afresh the riches and gender-egalitarian directness of the sacred text itself. The work retrieves for readers and scholars an oft-neglected tradition of encounter with Islam’s scripture and teaching tradition.
Hasan, while respecting the sacred nature of the Qu'ran, uses her background in linguistic philosophy to provide a much-needed corrective to centuries of (mis)interpretation. The result is a Muslim feminist reading of the Qu'ran from inside the tradition.
This book helps us to better understand the Qur’an by illuminating the gender egalitarianism of the text. It is useful both for scholars who seek new ways to examine an ancient scripture, and for believers who need new theological resources for their faith.
Abla Hasan’s Decoding the Egalitarianism of the Qur’an is the book many readers have been waiting for. Hasan, a Syrian feminist specializing in the linguistics of the Qur’an as well as Women's Studies, succeeds in the task of arguing in an engaging and passionate way for the Qur’an’s egalitarian message.
Abla Hasan is associate professor of Arabic language and culture at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
