Beyond Stereotypes: Reframing Narratives of Muslim Women in Historical Context

Abstract

Islamic law plays a central role in the lives of Muslims. It provides guidance on all aspects of life, from ritual practices to personal relationships to business transactions. Islamic law is also used to resolve disputes and to maintain social order in Muslim communities. In recent years, there has been a growing debate about the role of Islamic law in modern Muslim societies. Some Muslims argue that Islamic law should be the primary source of law in Muslim countries, while others argue that it should be adapted to modern times.
