This article strives for elaborating Thoifur Ali Wafa’s thoughts and his views on women’s rights in his Firdaws al-Na‘īm bi Tawḍīḥ Ma‘ānī Āyāt al-Qur’ān al-Karīm. His work discusses Qur’anic verses, which deals with women and their rights.

He insists to obliterate patriarchal culture and discrimination against women as a result of irresponsibly fault social construction to the understanding of religious texts. Based on his interpretation of verse 21 surah al-Rūm, verse 232 surah al-Baqarah, verse 195 surah Āl ‘Imrān, verse 38 surah al-Mā’idah, verse 34 surah al-Nisā’, verse 187 surah al-Baqarah, verse 228 surah al-Baqarah, verse 19 surah al-Nisā’, verse 229 surah al-Baqarah, verse 36 surah al-Nisā’, verse 15 surah al-Aḥqāf, verse 71 surah al-Tawbah, verse 12 surah al-Mumtaḥanah, and verse 34 surah al-Nisā’, Thoifur argues that women possess a number of rights within both domestic and public spheres.
