My study aims to understand the distressed state of Colonial Muslim Women as doubly marginalised, scrutinizing the space of the obscure women writers as a site of analysis. The proposal intends to delve into the “Islamic feminism” through the life and works of Ashraf Bibi, Sultan Jahan Begum, Rashid Jahan, Iqbalunnisa Hussain, Begum Shaista Ikramulla as tools to show how the practices in the name of religion, the misguided interpretation of prophetic teachings and the old customs was the main cause for the backward position of Muslim women and not Islam which came as a reformation religion in the age of ignorance (Jahiliyyah).
