Ep 92     Imam Sherin Khankan

Imam Sherin Khankan has described herself as being born between two worlds – Muslim and Christian. Her early influences have been profound. She studied sociology of religion and philosophy from the University of Copenhagen as well as studies in Arabic. She has written 4 books including Islam and Reconciliation – a public case, and Women are the Future of Islam.

But undoubtedly her most significant achievement to date, is as the founder of the first mosque with female imams in the Nordic countries and becoming one of the first female imams. Her aim is to challenge patriarchal structures and inspire other women. 

And she has…and does. 

An Imam. An Islamic feminist. A pioneer whose courage and determination is inspiring
in the face of enormous opposition.
