Podcast appearances and mentions of Amina Wadud

In this episode, I am joined by Dr. amina wadud, aka the Lady Imam. She is well-known as one of the foremothers of Islamic feminism and has been a student of Islam for over 50 years. An outspoken activist and scholar with a focus on Islam, justice, gender, and sexuality, in this conversation, I ask Dr. amina questions beyond her public persona about her personal spiritual and healing journey. amina describes her spiritual life as one of different phases and how we need to follow an approach of gentleness and self-compassion to live a life of presence and connection to the Divine. Rather than teach an obligation-centered Islam, amina proposes that individuals practice spirituality according to their ability and capacity. She emphasizes that only by trusting oneself and focusing within can one begin to experience peace and stop focusing on the outside world's noise.

In 2005 Dr. Amina Wadud made waves when she led Muslim prayers in New York City.

In JINS Podcast, we believe the future of Islam is female. Because, for the thousandth time, female imamship is not forbidden in Islam. The existence of mosques for women belongs to Islamic traditions. The Qur'an says nothing about women imams. But it points out that women are equal to men, that they are equal partners spiritually, intellectually and socially. Umm Waraqa was a woman renowned for her ability to recite the Quran in its entirety and who, in Medina, led a Friday prayer before a mixed assembly with the permission of the Prophet – Peace Be Upon Him. The hadiths report that after fleeing from Mecca to settle in Medina, the Prophet opened a mosque in his house, where two women led the prayers. One was Aïcha, his third wife, and the other, Oum Salama, his sixth. In JINS Podcast, you'll find further proof of their existence. All the women imams that I had the chance to interview: Eva Janadin in France, Seyran Ates in Germany, Ani Zonneveld in California, Amina Wadud in Indonesia and then the famous Sherin Khankan in Denmark. Speaking of! I am very honored today to welcome in @jins_podcast, Sherin Khankan. Sherin is Denmark's first female imam who has founded a women-led mosque called Mariam in Copenhagen. Sherin was born in Denmark to a Finish mother and a Syrian father, who came as a political refugee. She defines herself as being a product of two worlds that have to be brought back together. In 2016, she created FEMIMAM, an international movement bringing together intellectuals, women and men, defending the need to train female imams. In her mosque, Sherin and her fellow imams aim to build inter-faith bridges, provide a more welcoming atmosphere for female worshippers, and illuminate the theological diversity of the Islamic faith - frequently over-looked in an increasingly Islamophobic environment in Europe. She was included in the BBC's list of the top 100 most influential women in the world. She has written 4 books on Islam including "Women are the Future of Islam". Hébergé par Acast.

In this interview, we speak with Dr. amina wadud about her latest book Once in a Lifetime (Kantara Press, 2022), a book that started out as a blog for her hajj journey back in 2012. Dr. amina wadud is Professor Emeritus of Islamic Studies at Virginia Commonwealth University. She earned her PhD in Arabic and Islamic Studies from the University of Michigan in 1988. Her other books are Qur'an and Woman: Re-reading the Sacred Text from a Woman's Perspective published in 1992 with Oxford UP and Inside the Gender Jihad: Women's Reform in Islam, published with Oneworld in 2006. The book is rooted in her experience of the famous five pillars of Islam, through a feminist, inclusive, and faith-centered lens. Each chapter includes relevant experiences related to the theme of the chapter, such as her specific experiences at hajj or the gendered nature of certain Islamic rituals and the ways that common understandings of these rituals might affect women. In our conversation, we talk about the theme of the masculine and the feminine that figures throughout the book, the gender of God, the Islamic concept of tawhid (monotheism, unity of God) and its relation to fractals and nature and the cosmos, and her experiences at hajj, which serve as the basis of the book. But mostly, I attempt to utilize my time with her to hear her speak about her journey through the last several decades as a Muslim academic committed to social justice and faith. The book's accessible and approachable style makes it especially useful for undergraduate religion courses, including Islam and Islam and gender specific courses. Anyone interested in personal journeys in religion, Islam and gender, Islam and religion would also benefit from this book. Learn more about your ad choices.

In the past few decades, some female Muslim academics and activists have drawn on the Qur'an to argue for what they perceive should be a part of women's rights and the equality of women. The work of various individuals and organisations is broadly referred to as Islamic feminism. For a Muslim woman facing domestic violence, spiritual abuse, and financial exploitation within the Muslim community, it is easy to see why she would turn to Islamic feminist thinkers for support. The prejudice of white secular feminists doesn't appeal to her identity. In addition, she wants to gain knowledge and connect with Allah (ﷻ), but she doesn't feel welcome in some traditional Muslim spaces. Islamic feminist thinkers purport to root their opinions in the Islamic tradition, leading some to believe their views are automatically legitimate. Additionally, the egalitarian atmosphere fostered by Islamic feminist scholarship is seen as a safe space for Muslim women. “Islamic” feminist thinkers are filling a void. Is it not the case that only a handful of people champion Muslim women's issues? So when secular, articulate Muslim academics address the misogyny amongst Muslims, some are grateful and gravitate towards them. Islamic feminist thinkers gain traction often because modern Muslim societies in the East and West are not comprehensively delivering women the Islamic rights Allah (ﷻ) decreed them to have. But how can a layperson evaluate what Islamic feminist academics are saying is theologically sound? A Muslim who has not studied quranic hermeneutics or Islamic history will not have the skills or knowledge to assess their views, so women often trust them by virtue of their assertion as being pro-women. Rather than blindly accepting their assertions, we should evaluate them objectively. Just because they are women doesn't mean we unquestioningly embrace their arguments, just as we should with men. We should pause and question our motives foraloowing Islamic feminist scholars to influence our thinking. Do we agree with them because they articulate what we want to hear? Or is it a classic case of shopping around for an opinion that agrees with our sensibilities? Moreover, it is essential to assess whether these views align with the majority of scholarly mainstream Islamic opinions. InshaAllah, in this piece, my aim is to do precisely that. With my guest, Heraa Hashmi, I will be focussing on the following contemporary academics Dr. Amina Wadud, Dr. Asma Barlas, Dr. Kecia Ali, and Dr. Aysha Hidayatullah. They do not always agree, and some are more intellectually rigorous than others, but they share the objective of creating an egalitarian Islam, attempting to pursue equality and justice for women by “reforming” Islamic law. Heraa Hashmi is best known for her project, Muslims Condemn. She is a law student based in the US with a background in Molecular, Cellular, & Developmental Biology and Linguistics. Her interests include the Islamic sciences, cognitive linguistics, and bioethics.

We've talked about memoir on this show, but never have we interviewed a memoirist herself. Sumaiya Matin is a social worker and psychotherapist, as well as the author of debut memoir THE SHAYTAN BRIDE. In her book, Sumaiya details not only her childhood as a Bangladeshi immigrant in Canada, but also the traumatic events of her early adulthood. These conflicts bring to rise questions of faith, culture, gender, and the intersections therein. Sumaiya discusses the role of her Islamic faith and distinguishing between cultural norms and religious values, which gives way to the works of Turkish writer Elif Shafak. We discuss at length Shafak's first novel, THE FORTY RULES OF LOVE. This split narrative features the spiritual relationship between renowed poet Rumi and wandering dervish Shams of Tabriz, paralleling it with a modern-day love story and spiritual awakening of Ella Rubenstein, a Boston-area housewife. Books discussed: 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in this Strange World by Elif Shafak, A Woman is No Man by Etaf Rum, Believing Women in Islam by Asma Barlas, Inside the Gender Jihad by Amina Wadud, Kimya Khatun by Saideh Ghods Find Sumaiya's memoir at her website: https://www.sumaiyamatin.com/about Follow the podcast on instagram and twitter @yfbpodcast

Shadaab Rahemtullah's book Qur'an of the Oppressed: Liberation Theology and Gender Justice in Islam (Oxford University Press, 2017) offers a compelling comparative analysis of the works of four Muslim scholars of Islam – Asghar Ali Engineer, Farid Esack, Amina Wadud, and Asma Barlas. The book serves as an excellent introduction to the works of these scholars and is complete with a clear, thorough, and rich analysis of the ways that they approach Islam's most important scripture as a liberating text to respond to various issues, such as poverty, patriarchy, racism, and inter-religious conflict. Qur'an of the Oppressed relies both on these scholars' written works and on Rahemtullah's in-depth interviews with them. Each chapter is dedicated to an individual scholar and begins with an introduction to their backgrounds with a discussion of the political, social, and other contexts that shape their respective scholarship; while deeply appreciative of their works, Rahemtullah also carefully addresses the drawbacks of their arguments and methodologies and offers correctives when useful. Qur'an of the Oppressed is an accessible text that can be assigned in undergraduate and graduate courses as well as read by non-specialists, including anyone with an interest in religion, gender, liberation theology, and especially in Islam; it will also be of interest to anyone looking to better understand the ways that modern religious communities interpret their scriptures as a source of liberation and justice.

ENGLISH EPISODE. On May 12th Islamic theologian Amina Wadud gave a lecture in Amsterdam. But first a few muslim women of color stole her away for a dinner where we talked about Ramadan, periods and other struggles women face during this holy month. It became an interesting, heartwarming and sometimes hilarious conversation. Enjoy.Op 12 mei gaf de Amerikaanse islamitische theoloog Amina Wadud een lezing in Paradiso. Amina Wadud strijdt al jaren voor een herinterpretatie van Islam, met perspectieven van vrouwen, queers en transgenders. Voordat zij haar lezing gaf in Paradiso hadden een paar moslimvrouwen van kleur the honor to make her dinner. Onder het genot van een besloten potluck diner hadden we het over de struggles als vrouw tijdens de heilige maand Ramadan. We mochten het gesprek opnemen en dat resulteerde in een inhoudelijk, inspirerend, grappig en openhartig gesprek tussen vrouwen die hun religie terugeisen. Speciale shoutout naar MVVN voor de gastvrijheid en het faciliteren. Enjoy!

Hasna el Maroudi praat met Esra Dede, freelance opiniemaker voor Joop en Oneworld en Justine van de Beek, co-oprichter van Stellingdames. Ze hadden het over Amina Wadud, hoogleraar Islamstudies. Afgelopen weekend was zij te gast in Paradiso om te praten over Islamitisch feminisme. Justine, Hasna en Esra praten erover door in het Joop-café.

Amina Wadud reflects on the gender dynamics of jihad in Islam. http://islamicstudies.stanford.edu

In 2005, Amina Wadud led a mixed-gender congregation of Muslims in prayer. This event became the focal point of substantial media attention and highlighted some of the tensions within the Muslim community. However, this prayer gathering was the culmination of a series of events and embodied several ongoing intra-Muslim debates. In American Muslim Women, Religious Authority, and Activism: More Than a Prayer (University of Texas Press, 2012), Juliane Hammer, Professor of Islamic Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, outlines the circumstances leading up to the prayer event and employs it as point of convergence to explore the multiple discourses surrounding Muslim gender issues. The debates following the prayer fell into two discursive frameworks, legal and symbolic. Hammer explores these themes through a broader body of sources written by American Muslim women both in relation to exegetical projects or legalistic frameworks leading towards gender equality or human rights. While gender remains central to the arguments of the book Hammer uses this subject to examine various issues related to contemporary Islam, including participation, leadership, law, media, and self-representation. In our conversation, we discuss the disintegration of traditional modes of authority, “progressive” Muslims, embodied tafsir, feminism, the permissibility and validity of women lead prayer, the hijab, book covers, mosques, networks, Asra Nomani, and Amina Wadud, but are only able to scratch the surface of this wonderful book.

Amina Wadud has been a Professor of Islamic Studies at Virginia Commonwealth University since 1992 and is currently Visiting Scholar of Islamic Studies at the Starr King School for Ministry. She is a world-renowned scholar of Qur’anic interpretation and gender, a believing Muslim woman, of African descent, and mother of five children. It is this confluence of identities that has driven Prof. Wadud to undertake what has been termed the “gender jihad,” the struggle for justice for women within global Islamic communities. The author of countless articles, lectures, workshop presentations and media interviews, Wadud is internationally recognized for her pathbreaking books Qur’an and Woman, an incisive application of classical disciplines and prerequisites of Islamic interpretation towards a gender inclusive reading, and Inside the Gender Jihad, in which she reflects on the dual roles of scholarship and activism in pursuit of reform in Islamic thought and practice. In 2005, she was at the center of a global media storm after leading prayers in front of a mixed-gender congregation in New York City, a role some contend belongs exclusively to Muslim men. Her act resulted in a global and public debate among Muslims and non-Muslims about women’s roles in Islam. Selected Bibliography: Introduction to Islam: A Reader.
