Summary

Fadak: More than a land dispute: This chapter provides a comprehensive exploration of the historical and symbolic significance of the Fadak and its transformation from a land dispute into a social justice movement, revealing theological, gendered, and moral dimensions. Fatima’s bold actions calling for justice and equity make this a pivotal moment in Islamic history that challenged societal norms and sparked a discourse on ethics, leadership, and female inheritance rights.
