Essay aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Orientalistik / Sinologie - Islamwissenschaft, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Abstract In Islam there is no distinction or separation between the sacred and the secular. For Muslims, Islam covers every aspect of life: religion and society. Even the minutest details of public and private life are ventured to, such as the family, business, food, personal etiquette and hygiene. As a result Islam has its prying eyes targeted into the private and public life of her members, especially the life of her female members. A study of the three major sources of Islam: The Koran, The Hadith, and their biological, legal and theological interpretations shows that Islam was very much influenced by the patriarchal Arabian culture. Inspite of the efforts by Islam to reform the sexist tendencies in this culture, her best efforts have been seen to be hardly good enough for women
