This article discusses Islamic feminism and the importance of Islamic feminism in its history. What is Islamic feminism, and how does Islamic feminism differ from the feminism of other religions and feminist moments? What is the influence of feminism in India? Muslim feminism and how can political, legal, economic and social rights be changed in the lives of Muslim women or is feminism already embodied in Muslim personal law? What are the changes and reforms in Muslim private law after Islamic feminism in India? In this article, I report on the emerging "Islamic feminist" movement in India, which has dedicated itself to achieving gender equality under Muslim private law. In this article, I will argue that a clear distinction needs to be made between Islamic feminism as a discursive movement and the individual local, national or transnational social and political movements that increasingly rely on this discourse.
