| Summary: |
Dr Mohammed Akram Nadwi's class on his 10 years research covering 8000 women scholars |
| Description: |
This one day course, for brothers and sisters, will briefly survey 14 centuries of history to unravel the central role women had in preserving the Prophet’s teaching. Shaykh Mohammad Akram Nadwi will discuss how, within the bounds of modesty in dress and manners, women routinely attended and gave classes in the major mosques and madrasas, travelled intensively for ‘the knowledge’, transmitted and critiqued hadith, issued fatwas, etc. You will learn from this fascinating history of women scholarship how some of the most renowned scholars among men have depended on, and praised, the scholarship of their women teachers. You will also appreciate how women scholars enjoyed considerable public authority in society as a matter of norm. This is an essential course for brothers and sisters to understanding the role of women in Islamic society, their past achievement and future potential
