And yet this woman created her translation and interpretation without a solid knowledge of the Arabic language, utilizing various dictionaries, and with the active intention to alter all previous interpretations with which she disagreed.

Apparently, modern Muslim women did not feel that the Qur’an needed to be reinterpreted just for them and do not feel that a more “feminist� version is called for.

Do not miss this article by Aaminah, as she has done a thorough job in analyzing Laleh Bakhtiar.

About believer786

I am Mushir Shaikh, born in Gujarat, India. However, I lived in the middle east for 18 years (Qatar, UAE). I then moved to Chicago, IL for education. I am currently an MBA student at University of Chicago (#1 in the country for Finance - had to throw this in there hehe). I work at Motorola, but I am going to change gears and start working in the Finance industry. I am an avid investor - stocks and options. Only recently have I changed my focus in life to Islam. Recent events in my life have been a reawakening and I feel Allah has reached out to me to bring me closer. So now I try to work everything around Islam. Mushir
