Talk:Amina Wadud

message: 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 | Talk 01:35, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

text: For more information on Dr. Amina Wadud there is a pretty long ebook on her.  One can find that from this website - http://www.patheos.com/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.

message: Hi, 
I came across this promising Draft: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

″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 alphabets 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  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.146.115.12 (talk) 16:59, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
