Description

Why are some Muslims using female pronouns for God? Hafsa Lodi, author of The Revealer article, “The Muslim Women Using Feminine Pronouns for Allah,” joins us to discuss a growing trend among Muslim women. We explore Islam’s teachings about God’s gender, why Muslims have primarily used male pronouns for Allah, what some believe using female pronouns for God can achieve, and how discussions about pronouns reveal broader issues of gender within Islam, including the place of modest fashion industries around the globe.

As an extension of the online magazine the Revealer, this podcast explores the social and political roles religion plays throughout the world. How should we make sense of religion's influence on politics, sexuality, race, and people's everyday lives? Produced by NYU's Center for Religion and Media and hosted by Dr. Brett Krutzsch, each month we'll sit down with experts to discuss how religion shapes our world. Join us for this important conversation.
