Dr. Shuruq Naguib is a UK-based scholar studying Qur’anic scripture and women’s representation. Egyptian born, she is currently a lecturer in Islamic studies at Lancaster University. She has cautioned against the construction of binary oppositions where interpretations of gender in the Qur’an are either seen as modern feminist and egalitarian, on the one hand, or traditional, male and misogynistic on the other. Instead she suggests a third possibility for Muslim feminist analysis which ‘affirms the original purity of humanity as a horizon for the divine.’
