ABSTRACT

The exegetical model to be applied in the analysis of Wadud (1992) may be typified as multi-faceted and Qur’an and Woman specific. It comprises a detail scrutiny of the said work from various angles that were chosen specifically with a view to elucidate specific aspects present in Wadud’s study. Other reviews giving attention to Qur’an and Woman (1992) demonstrate individual approaches. Within the discussions, personal glimpses of Wadud may be gleaned. They are subjective derivations based on the subject material of a specific portion but provide valuable information regarding the way she projects herself, and her experience of the context in which she lived. This study will examine how Wadud renders selected verses that speak on the hereafter and recompense in her attempt to support her notion of feminism in Islam as projected in her book Qur’an and Woman (1992).
