The general aim behind this discourse, despite its diversity, inconsistencies, and conflicts within its advocates on what it means to be a Muslim feminist and what Muslim women want, is to respond to Western critiques against what is deemed to be an oppressive religion towards women. There is even a whole Wikipedia page titled “ Islamic Feminism”. A quick Google search on this topic will generate results like “ This is how Islam led the world with women’s rights” “ Women’s Rights in Islam” “ 5 Rights Islam Gave Women Before Western Feminism Did” “ How Islam Confirms Women’s Rights” and “ Women’s Liberation through Islam”. This is especially so for a practicing believer.
What does it mean to champion women’s rights and identify oneself as a feminist? Though it appears simple and easy to answer, this question is anything but that.
