Liberalism and progressivism within Islam
For modernist reform movements in Islam, see Islamic modernism.
Professed Muslims have created a considerable body of progressive interpretation of Islamic understanding and practice.[1][2] Their work is sometimes characterized as "progressive Islam" (Arabic: الإسلام التقدميal-Islām at-taqaddumī) or liberal Islam. Some scholars, such as Omid Safi, differentiate between "progressive Muslims" (post-colonial, anti-imperialist, and critical of modernity) versus "liberal advocates of Islam" (an older movement embracing modernity).[4] Liberal Islam originally emerged out of the Islamic revivalist movement of the 18th–19th centuries.[1] Liberal and progressive ideas within Islam are considered controversial by some traditional Muslims, who criticize liberal Muslims on the grounds of being too Western and/or rationalistic.[1][5]
The methodologies of liberal and progressive Islam rest on the re-interpretation of traditional Islamic sacred scriptures (the Quran) and other texts (the Hadith), a process called ijtihad.[1][6][page needed] This reinterpreting can vary from minor to fundamental, including re-interpretation based on the bel

Saudi Arabia's detention of a historian – a women's rights activist – has drawn the protests of scholars
His Majesty King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud
King of Saudi Arabia and Custodian of the two Holy Mosques
His Royal Highness Prince Mohammad bin Salman Al Saud
Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia
November 6, 2018
Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness:
It is more than five months that Dr. Hatoon Ajwad al-Fassi, world-renowned Saudi scholar, professor, writer and women’s rights advocate has been in detention in Saudi Arabia. Her arrest, on 21 June, coincided with the lifting of the ban on women’s driving in the kingdom. We are very concerned about Dr. al-Fassi. Furthermore, her arrest and that of other women’s rights advocates provide evidence of the deeply troubling turn in what has been publicized as a reformist, modernizing agenda.
Until recently, Dr. al-Fassi was Associate Professor of Women’s History at King Saud University in Riyadh where she had been a faculty member since 1992. She is the author of two important books -- Sanawat fi ‘Umr Al-Mar’ah Al-Saudiyyah [Years in the Lives of Saudi Women] (2018) and Women in Pre-Islamic Arabia: Nabataea (2007), and numerous articles and book chapters on the lives an
