Muslim women today face a struggle between a conservative Islamic approach and a liberal Western perspective. At the heart of this debate, they seek to reclaim their right to speak and re-appropriate their destinies, calling for the equality and liberation that the Qur'an truly espouses. However, with few female commentators and an overreliance on centuries-old interpretations, this message is often obscured.

In this book, Asma Lamrabet demands a rereading of the Qur'an by women, focusing on its spiritual and humanistic messages to transform lived realities. By acknowledging the oppression of women within religiously organized social systems while rejecting the promotion of Western values as the sole means of liberation, Lamrabet defines a new path. Here, women's refusal to remain silent becomes an act of devotion, and their demand for reform leads to true liberation.

Asma Lamrabet is a pathologist at Avicenna Hospital in Rabat, Morocco, and an award-winning author on Islam and women's issues. Myriam Francois-Cerrah, a writer and broadcaster, has published articles in the Guardian, Salon, and elsewhere.
