1001 Muslim Women
Muslim women have been central participants in shaping Islamic societies across history—as scholars, patrons, intellectuals, and leaders. The 1001 Muslim Women Project seeks to recover and document these histories, contributing to a deeper and more accurate understanding of Muslim women’s roles in shaping the intellectual and social worlds of Islam.

تواريخ مهمة
Throughout Islamic history, Muslim women have served as scholars, patrons, political actors, jurists, educators, artists, poets, entrepreneurs, and community leaders. Yet their contributions are often fragmented or overlooked in dominant historical accounts. This project aims to challenge narrow historical narratives by foregrounding the breadth of Muslim women’s participation in shaping societies. It also introduces the different paradigms or models of leadership in Islam to challenge the narrow conception of leadership in the modern time.
By assembling 1001 biographical profiles of leading Muslim women, the project seeks to create a significant scholarly and public resource that highlights the dynamism of Muslim women’s agency, leadership, and influence across time.
The outputs of this research initiative will then be used to create educational and media materials to disseminate to public audience.
