{"product_id":"gender-relations-in-the-qur-an","title":"Gender Relations in the Qur’an","description":"A constricting attitude towards the relationship between non-maḥram (marriageable) men and women is often either politically enforced or self-imposed in Muslim societies, with notions of separation and segregation upheld as normative ideals. This book challenges such interpretations, delineating a more permissive and nuanced position rooted in the Qur’an. Responding to the oft-held notion of men occupying the public sphere while women are restricted to the private, the book explores whether the Qur’an adopts a conception of gendered space and gendered roles.\n\n The book analyses the various forms of male–female interaction in the Qur’an, providing a comprehensive overview of gender relations and a critical dissection of restrictive readings. It also discusses clothing, offering a thorough overview of sartorial prescriptions in the Qur’an. Engaging with both classical and modern scholarship to provide a contextual reading, this book offers a comprehensive and expansive analysis of gender relations within a Qur’anic context.","brand":"Edinburgh University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56408770937176,"sku":"9781399561341","price":102.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781399561341.jpg?v=1780429523","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/gender-relations-in-the-qur-an","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
