The First Muslim Woman on Record to Lead a Public Mixed-Gender
Jum'ah Prayer
Who: Dr. Amina Wadud will lead Jumah/Muslim Friday Prayer
When: Friday, March 18, 2005, 1-3pm
Where:If you wish to attend, you MUST fill out our attendance form.
On Friday, March 18, 2005, Dr. Amina Wadud, professor of Islamic
studies at Virginia Commonwealth University, will be the first woman
to lead a public, mixed-gender Friday prayer. She will also deliver
the Friday sermon. Dr. Wadud, the author of the groundbreaking book
Qur'an and Woman: Rereading the Sacred Text from a Woman's
Perspective, is an esteemed scholar of Islam who affirms the right
of Muslim women to be prayer leaders. It is a generally held view in
the Muslim world and in the American Muslim community that women
cannot lead mixed-gender prayer. This custom is pervasive and goes
unchallenged. Research from the Qur'an and the customs of Prophet
Muhammad demonstrate that there is no prohibition precluding women
from leading mixed-gender prayer and, further, that Prophet Muhammad
approved the practice of women leading mixed-gender prayer. Over the
centuries, Muslim women have lost their place as intellectual and
spiritual leaders.
On March 18, 2005 Muslim women will reclaim their right to be
spiritual equals and leaders. Women will move from the space
tradition has
relegated them in the back of the mosque and pray in the front rows.
Our effort will be part of a broader campaign to create communities
in that rise to the highest principles of Islam's teachings on
tolerance, justice, equity, and compassion. In the 7th century, the
Prophet Muhammad built a model community in the city of Medina,
earning it a place in history as "the City of Illumination" because
of its progressive values. In the 21st century, we are committed to
creating
modern day "Cities of Light" in that value inclusion and women's
rights.
About Dr. Amina Wadud
Amina Wadud is an Islamic studies professor in the department of
philosophy and religious studies at Virginia Commonwealth
University. She is nationally and internationally known for her
ground breaking book Qur'an and Women: Rereading the Sacred Text from
a Woman's Perspective, the first interpretive reading of the Qur'an
by a woman.
Dr. Wadud
seeks to validate the female voice in the Qur'an and bring it out of
the
shadows. Dr. Wadud will deliver the sermon and lead the prayer.
Background:
The Muslim Women's Freedom Tour educates and empowers Muslim women
to reclaim their God-given right to lead self-determined lives.
In 2004, we took on the issue of Muslim women gaining access to
space and voice in American mosques where they have traditionally
been banned or relegated to isolated areas of the mosque. On June 4,
2004, a group of seven Muslim women marched to the mosque in
Morgantown, W.V., to reclaim the right of women to use the front
door and the main hall of mosques; as in many mosques in the United
States, women had been told to take a back door and pray in a
secluded balcony. Our historic march was the shot heard around the
world. Images and reports from the march swept across the globe, and
we have documented a positive shift in the participation of Muslim
women in mosques and communities globally as a result of the march
and the dialogue it sparked.
This year we are affirming the right of women to be spiritual
leaders,
including imams, or prayer leaders. In a historic Friday prayer on
March
18, 2005, in New York City, women will go from the back of the
mosque to the front of the mosque.
