The Impact of Women Scholars
The podcast episode explores the impact of women scholars on Muslim women's experiences and understanding of the Quran. The speaker shares personal experiences, such as encountering a diverse range of women scholars in Egypt who were actively teaching and reciting the Quran. These experiences challenged traditional beliefs and cultural norms that limited women's involvement in Quran recitation. The discussion highlights the importance of representation and access, as many women were inspired to reconnect with the Quran and explore their own recitation after witnessing other women recite publicly.
