Why is it important?
This study reflects al-Qaraḍāwī’s guidance on fostering Muslim women’s awareness of their essential roles, providing an alternative to rights-based feminist discourse. His emphasis on this topic is central to his thinking and lays the groundwork for further research into renewed approaches to addressing women’s issues.
Perspectives
The study found that understanding women’s roles is vital for reinstating the active influence of Muslim women, who make up over half of society. Establishing foundational principles is essential for effectively channelling women’s contributions toward development and progress. This effort should draw on a balanced Islamic framework that tackles the core challenges of modern life while emphasising the importance of intellectual foundations in al-Qaraḍāwī’s approach to renewal.
