TEXT The ethical project of Islamic feminism shares the central ideals and values of Islam itself —of justice, egalitarianism, equity, compassion, and tolerance. By opening up the question of who has the authority to interpret scripture, and by challenging the power of traditional interpretive communities and the producers of religious knowledge, Islamic feminists are at the forefront of the contemporary reformist movement. Writers such as Amina Wadud and Asma Barlas are conferring upon themselves the authority to challenge the monopoly of traditional interpreters of the Quran, whilst scholars such as Fatima Mernissi are engaged in contesting received notions of Hadith literature. All such scholars are engaged in revisiting Islamic sources and actively furthering what has been succinctly termed the ―democratization of ijtihad. 1 Working within Islamic jurisprudence, this entails the use of an interpretive methodology, ijtihad (to strive or) to dynamically reinterpret foundational Quranic principles in order to bring about equal rights for women. 2
