Sufism is usually perceived as only talking or dealing with spiritual matters, basically serving mankind, and therefore, it need to be examined with Islam and women’s rights. The articles written by Anbreen Y Khan, Rachman Ida, and Muhammad Saud, apply the concept of Islamic feminism to analyze women’s rights in Sufi literature. The paper presents an analysis of one of the classics “Mahak-ul-Faqar”, by Hazrat Sultan Bahoo Rahmat Ullah Eelhi (RE). The significance of analysis lies in the illustration of women’s rights in Islamic traditional text, which will assist in present-day negotiations of human rights.
In her Article The Discussion On The Concept Of Women’s Rights In Islamic Sufism, Khan highlighted that the association between Islam and women’s rights has a very old relationship. Women’s illustration in theology particularly for the theology of Islam remained debatable in feminist studies. In recent history, researchers have started to determine a different standpoint of gender representation in Sufi thoughts. Those researchers conducted a review of previous studies which analyzed women’s rights in Sufi literature. Khan reviewed book of Hazrat Bahoo’s (RE) classic book “Mahak Ul Faqr-Kalan” which optimized manners of women’s rights that how Hazarat Bahoo (RA) challenged the patriarchal mindset of his time. She elaborated that Sufism created space for women’s rights. Also, Sufism had a history of women who performed mystic activities and re-interpret sharia with neutral mind.
