Hidayatullah and Mattson

One thing that might be likely to arise between Hidayatullah and Mattson is the issue of one’s intention in reading the Qur’an. Mattson discusses interpreting the Qur’an without imposing one’s own fears and desires upon their interpretation. This would potentially conflict with views from Hidayatullah, as Hidayatullah is examining the Qur’an through a Feminist lens, and is thus examining it from a potentially biased point of view. Hidayatullah discusses the reexamination of aspects such as social justice in the Qur’an, Another discussion that might arise between the two authors might be the issue of whether or not there exists a singular, absolute universal truth within the Qur’an.
