While the sacred text of the Quran reveals a clear empowerment of women and equality of believers, such spirit is barely reflected in the interpretations. Trapped between Western rhetoric that portrays them as submissive figures in desperate need of liberation, and centuries-old, parochial interpretations that have almost become part of the "sacred," Muslim women are pressured and profoundly misunderstood. Asma Lamrabet laments this state of affairs and the inclination of both Muslims and non-Muslims to readily embrace flawed human interpretations that devalue women rather than remaining faithful to the meaning of the Sacred Text. Full of insight, this study carefully reads the Qur'an to arrive at its deeper spiritual teachings. .Religion and sociologyIslamDoctrinesSexLaw and the social sciencesIdentity politicsFeminismFeminist theorySociology of ReligionIslamic TheologyGender StudiesSocio-Legal StudiesPolitics and GenderFeminism and Feminist TheoryReligion and sociology.IslamDoctrines.Sex.Law and the social sciences.Identity politics.Feminism.Feminist theory.Sociology of Religion.Islamic Theology.Gender Studies.Socio-Legal Studies.Politics and Gender.Feminism and Feminist Theory.201.7081Lamrabet Asmaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut974402BOOK9910392753003321Women and Men in the Qur’ān2218355UNINA
