I’m excited to see this and will think about what to put together isA. As a Muslim physician (psychiatrist) and mother with young kids and working in healthcare leadership, one of the disempowering perspectives I’ve seen is distorting Muslim women’s pursuit of higher education or continuing in their careers after motherhood as “liberal feminism” or somehow against the Islamic ethos.
This is a very misguided misconception. Many women scholars even today have both deep Islamic knowledge AND careers (think Dr. Rania Awaad, Dr. Haifaa Younis). I think it’s a shame when we limit the options a woman has and use religion to justify it.
Salaams! I tried to click on the link to contact Dr Shareef for a submission but it said “ permission not granted “ please let me know what needs to be done .
Walaikum salam, jazakallah khair. If you want to submit you can use the form. If you would like to reach out to Dr Shareef, you can do via this email muslimwomensflourishing@gmail.com
I just started my Substack journey in which I explore effective ways of freeing Palestine and sharing deep thoughts (among other things) follow for more 🫶🏻
among other things i find it rash to seek writing on women's 'safety from domestic violence and abuse' while dismissing Islamic and liberal feminism for analyzing patriarchy. just willful obliviousness...

Would it be in hard form? Who are the publishers?
Salaam, I think the form link isn’t working. When I click on it, I’m made to log into squarespace then get a message saying “permission not granted”.

That all of these terms are laden with ideological biases, and when muslims approach them they have to do so with a critical eye.
