Abstract

Feminism is a movement right at the centre of ideologies of neo-liberal capitalism, patriarchy and social justice. For Muslims, these ideas come with negative connotations and, for many in Muslim countries particularly, there is little within them that equates to social justice for anyone. As a result, 'feminism' is distained by many in the Muslim world; while those who attempt to embrace the movement, find it does not fit so well with the culture(s) and societal organisation in many Muslim communities, although they wish to actively leverage it to seek social justice for Muslim women. This paper considers the concept of feminism and how it might fit inside a Muslim/Islamic deen (En: way of life) and ontology (worldview).
