Dr. Mohammad Akram Nadwi has studied this subject in depth for the past 15 years and has collected the stories of more than 9,000 female scholars that specialized in the study of hadith.

As one of the leading scholars in this field, he advocates that we learn more about Islam’s rich history of female scholarship and the role women played in preserving and collecting sacred Islamic knowledge, and strive to provide women with opportunities and spaces to learn and teach in our communities.
