Abstract:
The contributions of Muslim women in society have manifested in varied ways throughout Islamic history. Muslim women have contributed significantly to the development of Islam in its formative years. Yet, due to ignorance, misinterpretation of texts, mediation of Islam by ulamau, traditions and culture, the rights of Muslim women and their active participation in the development of Muslim societies declined. Since the early 1990s, Muslim women in Ghana have contributed in diverse forms to the holistic development of the Muslim ummah. However, the dominant connection of development with economic growth diminished the immense contributions of Muslim women to development in Ghana. Using in-depth interview and focused group discussions, the paper does an analysis of the activities of one Muslim women group, which reveal the multidimensionality of development. This paper argues that Muslim women groups have contributed significantly to the discourse and praxis of development within the context of Islam. On the whole, the paper will contribute to the discourse on Muslim women and development in Ghana.
