SUPPORTING WOMEN IN ARAB ISLAMIC THOUGHT FROM ANCIENT TO MODERN

In this article, we worked to put our subject in the Arab-Islamic context and paved the way for its study by talking about the areas in which preoccupation with the status of women occurred in modern human sciences, and addressing the detection and analysis of the tendency to hate women "misogyny" and dismantling the mechanisms of male domination and its causes that date back to ancient times, including In this regard, the Greek philosophers and their Muslim students, such as Al-Farabi, before we delve into - and this is our main concern in this article - the ideas of the prominent figures of Muslim philosophy and thought who advocate for women and call for equality between them and men, such as Ibn Rushd, Ibn Arabi and Al-Jahiz, up to the modern era with Ahmed Faris Al-Shidyaq, who he was one of the most prominent figures of the Arab renaissance and the first to explicitly call for modern education for women. The aim of all this is to highlight that the idea of gender equality is not, as some believe, an idea imported from the West, but rather an original and ancient idea in Arab-Islamic history, like a seed that was planted in the Arab land centuries ago and sprouted and flourished throughout history to bear fruit in the modern era.
