"The Persian Qur'an" - "Hadigatul-hagiga" by Sanayi Ghaznavi
The article studies the second part of "Hadigatul- hagiga" work by Sanayi, which is about Qur'an. Studying about the second part (al-bab) which comprises 12 parts, shows that the poets view about Qur'an is generalized in 14 parts. If a human wants to wake up from ignorance and turn away from the rebel way, he has to read the Qur'an. To get pleasure from reading the Qur'an one should know the reason why it was revealed. The Qur'an is a candle of Islamic way, the guara of human faith. The Qur'an came down in order to lift people up. The Qur'an never reveals its secrets to strangers. Therefore, it drapes musk-emitting curtains between itself and strangers. From the day it was revealed The Qur'an will be protected till the end of the world, and will never lose its freshness. The Qur'an has layers. The letters of The Qur'an are its body, and the spirit is its meaning. To read The Qur'an does not mean to be aware of its meaning.

Gender Jihad: The Hermeneutical Resistance of Muslim Feminists against Conservative Muslim Critics
Muslims feminists contend that they possess the intellectual capacity to challenge conservative juristic notions and patriarchal narratives regarding their roles and talents. They believe that gender-biased negative stereotypes have gone unquestioned owing to the dominance of male scholars in the hermeneutical domain. Scholars like Hibba Raouf, Amina Wadud and Farhat Hashmi confidently argue that the interpreter of the text, not the text itself, is to blame for androcentric bias towards women. Furthermore, they claim that conservative Ulama (intellectuals) misuse their position of authority and strive to preserve their dominance. Conservative scholars maintain that Islam prioritizes a woman's seclusion to the extent that she is not permitted to publicly preach the message of Islam. Disagreeing with their conservative critics, these female scholars argue that Islam does not impose such restrictions on women and they are free to pick the type of career and discipline which they think is compatible with their nature and disposition.This article analyses the perspectives of Hibba Rouf, Anima Wadud, and Farhat Hashmi on crucial topics including polygamy, female education, career choices, and political
engagement.
