Summary
Fatima inspires social justice: This chapter delves into the enduring impact of Fatima’s commitment to social justice, which shaped Shiʿi identity, rituals, and community experiences. It highlights the empowerment of women, featuring the activism of Asma bint Umays, Fiḍḍa al-Nubiyya, and Amina al-Sadr, and explores how Fatima’s interpretive approach impacts modern feminist scholarship on Muslim women.
