The aim of this paper is to introduce the main features of the Islamic feminism that has emerged as a new trend of feminism throughout the Muslim world in the second half of the 20th century. In addition, this paper would like to show how Islamic feminism made efforts to promote women``s rights through rereading religious texts such as the Qur``an, the Hadith and the Tafsir. On the other hand, this paper tries to reveal how Islamic feminism is differentiated from traditional interpretations that have been monopolized by conservative male scholars. Normally, Islamic feminism is defined as a feminist discourse and practice articulated within an Islamic paradigm. Islamic feminism seeks rights and justice for women within the Islamic context through rereading the religious texts from Women``s perspective. Many Islamic feminists stress that traditional scholars justified their views of men``s superiority depending on patriarchal readings of divine speech. In this context, they attempt to deconstruct patriarchal discourses by re-reading the so-called misogynistic verses of the religious texts. Since the 1980s, many Islamic feminists such as Amina Wadud, Asma Barlas, Riffat Hassan, Fatima Mernissi, and Margot Badran have contributed a lot for the development of women``s own Qur``an hermeneutics. And it can be characterized in three points as stated below: First, Islamic feminism regards the Qur``an as the divine text in which the principle of equality between women and men has been inscribed definitely. In other words, it argues that the Qur``an itself is egalitarian and antipatriarchal. Second, Islamic feminism insists that the principle of sexual equality mentioned in the Qur``an has been impeded or subverted by patriarchal readings, which had been influenced from the secondary religious texts like the Hadith and the Tafsir. That``s why Islamic feminism recommends Muslims not to trust their authorities blindly. Third, Islamic feminism favors the historical reading method. It views that most of the verses in the Qur``an were revealed as contingent solutions for particular problems in the seventh century Arabia. According to Islamic feminism, many verses in the Qur``an relating to women were misunderstood because of the tendency to generalize the particular as if it were relevant to all times and places.
