“…It is a fact that the oldest institution of higher education in the world was founded by a woman known as Fatima al-Fihri who opened al-Qarawiyyin University in Fez, Morocco in 859AD. Munira al-Qubaysi was the founder of al-Qubaysiat, a female only Sufi movement that originated in Syria and offered Islamic education exclusively to girls and women (Hammer & Spielhaus, 2013). Queen Rania of Jordan was also among the list of influential Muslims in the world who promotes global education, health and community empowerment (Marques & Ghazi, 2009).…”

Muslim women have been acknowledged for their huge contributions in building community, serving society, and promoting peace as reported in Hadith literature and Sīrah Nabawiyyah. This study aims to highlight related Hadiths concerning women and their roles in promoting peace, particularly from two authentic Hadith collections: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhāri and Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim. This study also intends to present ontology visualisation of the collected Hadiths concerning women and peace. It focuses on how the Hadith describes the concept of peace in relation to women, and how women can practice her rights in building and maintaining peace. As a qualitative study, there are different approaches applied in determining the relationship between women and peace. First, gathering Hadiths into several themes related to peace by applying the thematic approach. Second, is the ontological mapping approach which aims in building and exhibit the relationship between women and peace, from the Hadith perspective. Third, an analytical approach is applied in order to analyze historical, logical, and contextual aspects of the related Hadiths. The finding shows that though the number of Hadiths concerning women and peace might be limited, those related Hadiths give a massive impact, particularly on women, and all mankind.

“…The information shall be accessible to the general public and used by advocates, groups, and politicians. These should be quantitative, qualitative, and comparative knowledge (Hammer & Spielhaus, 2013). The quantitative data would make the quantitative information and statistics accessible; the qualitative data would provide information that is focused on attributes and evidence, and comparative data would make information accessible so that things can be contrasted between Muslims and other groups.…”

Consciousness, knowledge, and understanding in Islam are a fundamental prerequisite for all Muslims to allow them to affirm, think, and behave under the principles of religion. Muslim women and girls have been seen for years as potential objects of modernization and modernity. Popular belief has arisen that, for a nation to be prosperous, girls need to be educated and will raise their nation from its broad range of social issues. Women's education was indispensable to the discourses that pursued to modernize emerging and Muslim societies. Muslim women thought it was just as important to educate girls as it was to educate boys, and that they acknowledged parental and marital influence over the rights of women to be educated and to work. As Muslim women move up the educational ladder, the role of religion as a predictor of academic achievement is dwindling. This emphasis on the experiences of educated Muslim women exacerbates the prevailing narrative of modernity that portrays women's education and gender equality as an expression of individual women's choice and free will against any patriarchal structures of family, culture, and Islam. Use qualitative approach This paper deals with the historical perspective of Muslim woman's education, their educational rights, curriculum development of Muslim education, and the importance of Muslim female education

“…This liberal vs. conservative or orthodox trope also often shapes scholarly debates on female leadership. A large body of work has developed around progressive spaces and feminist scholarship, re-interpretation and argumentation (Hammer and Spielhaus 2013;Mir-Hosseini et al 2015;Petersen 2019). Often, the latter are juxtaposed to conservative, traditional or orthodox ones, but they are also disproportionately represented in the scholarship and policy relative to the percentage of individuals involved in these movements.…”

“…Ustadha Iffet is part of an emerging group of young female teachers and scholars in the UK. Over the last decade, the visibility of female Islamic authorities in Europe and globally has been growing (Bano and Kalmbach 2012;Kloos and Kunkler 2016;Hammer and Spielhaus 2013;Hill 2018). Lewis and Hamid (2018) described this emergence as one of the 'seismic changes' affecting British Islam and the wider Muslim World.…”

Guidance as ‘Women’s Work’: A New Generation of Female Islamic Authorities in Britain

This article is about a new publicly visible generation of female Islamic authorities in the UK and the ways in which they make sense of what it means to be a female authority within largely male-dominated structures of knowledge production. These authorities are setting up their own institutes and emphasising the importance of drawing from within the Islamic tradition while contextualising it in the British context. On the one hand, they stress their unique ability as women to provide personal and collective guidance, based on relationships of empathy and care, that addresses the needs of Muslim women in Britain. On the other hand, they recognise the limitations of presenting guidance as ‘women’s work’, and they seek to pluralise their roles or to present gender as irrelevant in their work. By navigating between accepting, pluralising and transcending female modes of authority, they carve out legitimate spaces for themselves as female leaders while developing and imagining new understandings of Islamic knowledge and plural models of pious leadership. I argue that these multiple ways of making sense of their experiences move us away from theorising female religious leadership solely through binary tropes, such as liberal/orthodox Islam, resistance/compliance, enabling/constraining, which continue to shape research in the field.
