Amina Wadud (born September 25, 1952) is an American Muslim theologian. Wadud serves as visiting professor at Indonesian Consortium for Religious Studies[1] and was also a visiting scholar at Starr King School for the Ministry.[2] Wadud has written extensively on the role of women in Islam.
Born and raised as a Methodist in Bethesda, Maryland, Wadud converted to Islam in 1972 while studying at the University of Pennsylvania. She went on to study Arabic and Islamic studies, first in the United States and later in Egypt. Wadud made international headlines in 2005 when she led Friday prayers at a mixed congregation in New York, stirring controversy in some spheres of the Islamic world. Regardless, Wadud has continued to lead prayers at various congregations around the world.
