Talk:Amina Wadud

Untitled

In Islam Jum'a prayer is not mandatory(fard) prayer for women In addition, I was wondering what this Imam will do when he -sorry- she get period. I think she will apologize, Sorry I can't be Imam today, I am in my period. I invite and ask her to make Tauba to Allah

further more she is a complete wakjob who needs her head checked.like what sane muslim would even think about doing this. she has some serious gender issues.

Amina Wadud (pbuh) (swt) is one of the great women of our age. She has dared to stand up to to the men, and she is more rational than the backwards-looking dictators of the Mideast.

She's very brave. I hope she would stay alive for awhile before getting an assassination.

In the name of Allah the most Gracious the most merciful

First of all I would like to start by saying that the religion of Islam is a religion that is based upon proofs, evidence. This religion consists of a righteous path that has been laid down for Muslims to follow. As for Amina Wadud and her followers, I ask what proof? What evidence? What knowledge from the Qur’an &, or Authentic Sunnah of the prophet Muhammad (pbuh) do you all come with? Mrs. Wadud and her followers have no evidence for their actions. They only come with innovations in the religion of Islam. The prophet Muhammad (pbuh) has said that every newly invented matter in the religion is an accursed innovation, and every innovation ends in the fire of hell. For the one who knows his/her religion, it is obvious that Mrs. Wadud is astray, and leading others astray. She is also a person who makes mockery of the religion of Islam. I say if you all are so bent on feminism, then why not follow the path of the best females ever to live on this earth. Like Aisha, Khadijah, Maymunah, Sawda, Hafsah, Zaynab, Salama, Safiyya, Um Habiba, and the rest of the women who surrounded the prophet Muhammad. (May Allah be pleased with them all) Aisha was a true scholar. She used to teach men and women, but she would teach the men from behind a veil. Not like Mrs. Wadud, who stands up in front of men. Who bows and prostrates in front of men, having no shyness for herself. So it is incumbent upon her to repents and follow the path of rightiousness and salvation, not the path of misguidance and destruction.

Also, to the one who posted before me; (PBUH) and (swt) are for the prophets and messengers of Allah.

As a liberal and a non-Muslim, I reserve the right to use (pbuh) and (swt) for those whom I think are beneficial to religion in the long run. Thank you for your commentary, though. Both Aisha and Amina Wadud should be regarded as good people, advancers of their religion, and advocates of peace.—Rickyrab|Talk01:35, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

I think she is shame for her family how can they leave her do that well as our prophet said if you don't get embarrassed do what you want اذا لم تستحي فأفعل ما شئتMadooo12(talk)11:50, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

For more information on Dr. Amina Wadud there is a pretty long ebook on her. One can find that from this website -http:// patheos /blogs/mmw/2012/04/getting-to-know-amina-wadud-review-of-a-jihad-for-justice/Also, if the Muslim gentleman above, (and others), is interested he can see her responses to Dr. Timothy George in the DVD Series, "Christianity and Islam" dated 2004. I think you will find that she presents Islam in a dignified manner, and has expertise on the subject.User talk:easeltine11 January 2013—Precedingundatedcomment added23:14, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Zaid Shakir article

Anyone know a place to link to for the recent article byZaid Shakir?—iFaqeer(Talk to me!)18:57, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)

here is the link:http:// pmuna.org/archives/Imam%20Zaid%20Shakir.pdf

or just go tohttp:// pmuna.org/archivesorhttp:// pmuna.organd search for the article.

No Place for Polemics

Wikipedia is a descriptive encyclopedia and is no place for theological debates. The Zaid Shaker article is a good opposing viewpoint, but comments such as her being a "wackjob" lacks an academic tone.

Musawah should be a link

just readhttp:// thenation /article/177467/rise-islamic-feministsLooked up WP, this heres the only mention of Musawah, feminist movement in islam. Imho, Musawah should be a link— Precedingunsignedcomment added by78.52.197.14(talk)19:27, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

Draft:Hermeneutics of feminism in Islam

Hi,

I came across this promisingDraft:Hermeneutics of feminism in Islam(relating to women's rights) and myself supported the same editorially too. IMO since topic potential is vast many Reliable sources on Google scholar seem to be available hence the article needs more editorial hands for some more update and expansion along with appropriate references.

Pl. do join to update and expansion, your help will be most welcome.

Thanks and regards

Prefers her name in lowercase.

https://musliminstitute.org/freethinking/politics/meet-amina-wadud-rock-star-islamic-feminists

″Getting her PhD in Arabic and Islamic Studies from the University of Michigan in 1988, wadud(who prefers her name in lower case as Arabic Alpha bets do not recognize capital letters),has focused on relation of gender and Islam. She wrote the quintessential Qur'an and Woman: Rereading the Sacred Text from a Woman's Perspective, which has since become a seminal work on the topic. She has been part of several civil society organizations and movements that promote principles of equality for women under the principles of Islam, such as Sisters in Islam and Musawah.″

It says in this article that she prefers her name in lowercase. It also has her name in lowercase in this wikipedia page:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_as_imams#United_Kingdom— Precedingunsignedcomment added by86.146.115.12(talk)16:59, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

I agree and I want to fix this. The style guide is to follow their preference except at the beginning of a sentence.Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Capital letters#LCITEMSZaynab1418(talk)06:41, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
