Qur'an and Woman: Rereading the Sacred Text from a Woman's Perspective

Rating:
Summary: alhamdulillah!
Review: This is the book i was waiting to read. I have spent so much time and energy thinking about this topic, being a Muslim woman. I can completely relate to this book. All of Wadud's arguments are on point and logical. I agree with her analysis of the subject of women. Reveiwing the Qur'an from this perspective has shed light on a very confusing and sometimes frustrating matter, for many females today. I recommend this book to all Muslims, male and female. It may open your eyes to something you did not see before. It may also help to separate the mixture going on too much these days of cultural gender roles slapped on to people using Islam as an excuse. thankyou..

Summary: A reader
Review: Very interesting book that gives a fresh perspective and understanding of the Holy Book. I may not agree with everything that is said but the scholarly approach lets me know that there are various interpretations that are as valable as the more classic ones. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Enlightening and Informative
Review: Wadud's "Qur'an and Woman" was a joy to read. Clearly, Wadud knows her stuff. The information presented is very accurate, and the book is nicely organized. Her writing is not only clear and coherent, but very cogent and persuasive. I would recommend this book not only to all Muslims, especially in Afghanistan, but also to those thinking about converting to Islam or who want to know more about the religion from a viewpoint that is not often represented in today's biased media.

Review: Why is the publisher not putting out more copies of this book? We want to assign it for classes at our university and it has been out of print almost from the first. Author: Can you find another publisher?
