Islamic Feminist

[searchingsoul]

How are feminists viewed by muslims? I ask because a lot of Christians do not support feminism. I wanted to know the Islamic opinion.

Basically, Muslim women dont need feminism. We have our rights already- those given to us by God. There are no better rights than these. And so many of the things that feminists fight for are totally against Islam anyway.

May I ask why chiristian women dont support it?

'Sisters in Islam' is the most famous feminist movement in Malaysia. Great majority of Malaysian Muslims hate them.

Some do and some don't. From what I gather some christians do not support feminist actions because feminists are largely associated with abortion rights, sexual liberation, etc...

Don't get me wrong I'm not a feminist. I doubt that they'd like me all that much.

In Malaysia, Sisters in Islam (SIS) support pluralism, freedom of apostacy, woman as imam in mixed congregation, anti-polygamy, anti-Hijab. They have their voices on many local newspapers and 'Al Islam' magazine.

Islam sees a woman, whether single or married, as an individual in her own right, with the right to own and dispose of her property and earnings. A marriage dowry is given by the groom to the bride for her own personal use, and she keeps her own family name rather than taking her husband's.
Both men and women are expected to dress in a way which is modest and dignified; the traditions of female dress found in some Muslim countries are often the expression of local customs and not Islam it self.



Without women, there wouldn't be al-Islam as it is today.

Why should we have Islamic Feminist,
I think there are some "fake" muslims males
who step on the women's rights,in the name of islam.

Sisters should care for their fellow sisters n tell her about her rights

I personally cant relate to the feminist groups that exist now.I mean they hold meetings to curse men or wat;D
Islam provides total freedom to women,that's why many of the converts are women:happy:

I don't agree with alot of the feminist agenda. But they have obtained rights for women which they previously did not have. Many of these rights are enjoyed by muslim women as well.

You have a point. Some of the freedoms female muslims enjoy and appreciate are ignored by other female muslims. I'm not saying ones right or wrong. There's just a difference in opinion or practice.

I'm assuming it's referring to a Walee (Friend) of Allah, in which case there are (and were) many more, wAllaahu a'lam.
