Summary/Abstract: Feminism has had a huge impact on Islamic societies recently. This manifests itself in theology as well, where women try to define their space within the religious space. Islamic feminists such as Amina Wadud and Fatima Mernissi locate the place of modern women inside and not outside religion, trying to find new ways to understand what the Qur’an teaches about women and why. They redefine this place using new and old exegetical methods, re-examine old and common misconceptions. This movement aims basically to show that women have an equal place in religion and this is in the Qur’an.
