Abstract

The innate connection between men and women, dating back to the beginning of creation, has been pivotal in shaping today's advanced civilization. Despite Islam bestowing equal rights upon women, many other societies deprived them of these rights. The gradual emergence of feminist theories, particularly in the late 18th century, was fueled by the growing dissent against such injustices. Islam, existing 1400 years ago, not only granted women equal rights but also presented a comprehensive feminist theory, advocating for their freedom and dignity. This article explores fundamental feminist theories within the framework of Islamic teachings, encompassing liberal feminism, radical feminism, and socialist feminism. Islam endorsed women's autonomy, allowing them the right to choose life partners, as articulated by Prophet Muhammad. The religion delineates distinct roles and virtues for women as daughters, wives, and mothers. Islamic feminism seeks to dispel misconceptions arising from misinterpretations, while historically, liberal feminism emerged first within the broader women's liberation movement, aiming to emancipate women from societal, economic, and political constraints.
