Allah ta’ala ne aurat ko bhi insaan
banaaya hai, words spoken by a young
Muslim woman from Mumbai, are simply a statement of a person of faith about her
own creation. It is a comment on
the inequality that women are subjected to, how they are made to
feel subhuman, a commodity to be consumed and includes a firm belief of the
speaker that there is inherent justice in this narrative of creation of a woman
in human form and a complaint that this justice has been subverted.
Muslim women have mostly been discussed as passive victims
who have no agency. They often suffer from stifling suppression and
overt violence that not only leaves its marks on the
human body and material aspects of life, but also impacts the mind and the self
of the affected.

‘Muslim Women Speak’ by Ghazala Jamil is
a recent publication by SAGE that discusses an
expansive canvas of dreams, aspirations, memory and everyday lives of Muslim
women. Through a presentation and analysis of Indian Muslim women’s narratives
about their own situation, the book challenges the image of Muslim women as
historic victims of Islam and Muslim men. The book includes insights on the
agency of young Muslim women and the impact of violence on their everyday lives
after a violent ‘event’ or ‘episode’ passes into history and memory. It brings
forth not only the ‘voices’ that have long been considered ‘silent’ but also
dwells upon the epistemological and socio-political concerns of this
‘silencing’.
