Dr. al-Hibri first looked at Surat al-Nisa\u2019 and raised the topic of obedience as it is described in the Qur\u2019an. She worked with students to decipher the definition of obedience as the Qur\u2019an intends it, referring to a quote from Abu Bakr which says, \u201cobey me so long as I obey God and His Prophet, and if I disobey them, you owe me no obedience.\u201d Too often, said Dr. al-Hibri, do those in power use the concept of obedience in an oppressive way, when the Qur\u2019an tells us that obedience is only given under specific circumstances. She then moved on to women\u2019s oppression within the home and the family, asking the question: why are women kept at home? Dr. al-Hibri discussed the meaning of qarna in Ayah 33 of Surat al-Ahzaab:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/karamah.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/33_33.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/karamah.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/33_33.png\" alt=\"33_33\" class=\"wp-image-23371 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;She argued that, contrary to popular belief, the verse means \u201cbe people of tranquility and dignity in your home.\u201d In other words, the verse \u201csays nothing about staying in your home, it only addresses behavior while at home.\u201d Dr. al-Hibri&nbsp;then discussed Ayah 34 of Surat al- Nisa\u2019 :&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/karamah.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/4_34.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/karamah.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/4_34.png\" alt=\"4_34\" class=\"wp-image-23370 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Although this verse is often distorted and used as permission for domestic violence, Dr. al-Hibri described it instead as the Qur\u2019anic version of anger management, saying, the recommendations of this verse are \u201ca far cry from beating up the wife.\u201d Dr. al-Hibri concluded her course with a brief overview of the types of divorce and their requirements, refreshing students on the Qur\u2019anic perspective on marriage, polygamy, and divorce. At the end of the class, students shared their appreciation for Dr. al-Hibri\u2019s transformative and inspiring lectures throughout LLSP. One student remarked: \u201ccoming here showed me that I don\u2019t need to be afraid of the Qur\u2019an, but that I need to discover it and embrace it.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On August 13th, 2015, Dr. Azizah al-Hibri analyzed with LLSP participants verses in the Qur\u2019an which are often misinterpreted and historically have been used to justify oppression and abuse of women.
