Women, Households, and the Hereafter in the Qur'an: A Patronage of Piety
www.iis.ac.uk/...
This book offers a fresh perspective by undertaking the first historical-critical study of all the Qur’an’s verses on women, who were integral to this transformation, and by offering an initial overview of households and patronage - late antique social structures that took the place of formal state structures in the Qur’an’s tribal milieu. The findings of this study call into question common approaches to Qur’anic theology, law, and narratives, to the nature of the early community, and to women’s place in that community.
