Translation of
Lamrabet, Asma. Femmes et hommes dans le Coran, quelle égalité?
Summary note
"This book distinguishes Islam as a spiritual message from the sociopolitical context of its revelation. While the sacred text of the Qur'ān 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'ān to arrive at its deeper spiritual teachings"--Back cover.
