How can we build more just, equal, and spiritually nourishing Muslim marriages and intimate relationships? How does the Qur’an guide us in shaping this relationship that helps us realize our better selves? In this webinar, Dr. Amina Wadud and Prof. Sa’diyya Shaikh reflected on issues of gender justice and family relations through spiritual lenses.

Building on their scholarship and lived experiences, they explored the intersections of spiritual growth, Qur’anic ethics, and egalitarian and mutually empowering family relations. The webinar is part of a series of webinars under Musawah's new research initiative titled 'Reclaiming ‘Adl and Ihsan in Muslim Marriages: Between Ethics and Law.' The goal of this series is to open new digital spaces for building and sharing knowledge on family relations from within Muslim tradition based on ethics of justice, equality, and care. These webinars are inspired by and draw on the textual, historical, and socio-legal studies that scholars and activists have undertaken as part of the research initiative. We hope they spark conversations on how we can build Muslim marriages as partnerships of equals. Learn more here and join the conversation on social media using #reclaimingadlandihsan.
