Sherin KhankanEvery podcast appearance, updated as new ones drop

In JINS Podcast, we believe the future of Islam is female. Because, for the thousandth time, female imamship is not forbidden in Islam. The existence of mosques for women belongs to Islamic traditions. The Qur’an says nothing about women imams. But it points out that women are equal to men, that they are equal partners spiritually, intellectually and socially. Umm Waraqa was a woman renowned for her ability to recite the Quran in its entirety and who, in Medina, led a Friday prayer before a mixed assembly with the permission of the Prophet – Peace Be Upon Him. The hadiths report that after fleeing from Mecca to settle in Medina, the Prophet opened a mosque in his house, where two women led the prayers. One was Aïcha, his third wife, and the other, Oum Salama, his sixth. In JINS Podcast, you’ll find further proof of their existence. All the women imams that I had the chance to interview: Eva Janadin in France, Seyran Ates in Germany, Ani Zonneveld in California, Amina Wadud in Indonesia and then the famous Sherin Khankan in Denmark. Speaking of! I am very honored today to welcome in @jins_podcast, Sherin Khankan. Sherin is Denmark's first female imam who has founded a women-led mosque called Mariam in Copenhagen. Sherin was born in Denmark to a Finish mother and a Syrian father, who came as a political refugee. She defines herself as being a product of two worlds that have to be brought back together. In 2016, she created FEMIMAM, an international movement bringing together intellectuals, women and men, defending the need to train female imams. In her mosque, Sherin and her fellow imams aim to build inter-faith bridges, provide a more welcoming atmosphere for female worshippers, and illuminate the theological diversity of the Islamic faith - frequently over-looked in an increasingly Islamophobic environment in Europe. She was included in the BBC's list of the top 100 most influential women in the world. She has written 4 books on Islam including " Women are the Future of Islam ". Hébergé par Acast.
