The Prophet Muhammad's reported traditions have evolved
significantly to affect the social, cultural, and political lives
of all Muslims. Though centuries of scholarship were spent on the
authentication and trustworthiness of the narrators, there has been
less study focused on the contents of these narratives, known as
Hadith or Sunnah, and their corroboration by the Qur`an. This book
is a first step in a comprehensive attempt to contrast Hadith with
the Qur`an in order to uncover some of the unjust practices by
Muslims concerning women and gender issues. Using specific examples
the author helps the reader appreciate and understand the magnitude
of the problem. It is argued that the human rights and the human
development of Muslim women will not progress in a meaningful and
sustainable manner until the Hadith is re-examined in a fresh new
approach from within the Islamic framework, shifting the discourse
in understanding Islam from a dogmatic religious law to a
religio-moral rational worldview. The author argues that such
re-examination requires the involvement of women in order to affirm
their authority in exegetical and practical leadership within
Muslim societies, and she encourages Muslim women to stand up for
their rights to effect change in understanding the role of sunnah
in their own life.
