The Role of Women's Prayers in Abrahamic Religions
Keywords:
Abrahamic religions, prayer, women, Christianity, Judaism, Fatima Zahra, IslamAbstract
This study aims to conduct a comparative and descriptive analysis of women's prayers in the three Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). By focusing on sacred texts and historical narratives, this research seeks to answer the question of how and to what extent the role of women in prayer and their relationship with God has differed among these religions. The findings indicate that although these religions share common roots, significant differences exist in practices, concepts, and the position of women in prayer. Cultural and historical factors, as well as diverse interpretations of sacred texts, have influenced the formation of these differences. This research provides a deeper understanding of the position of women in Abrahamic religions and their forms of prayer, contributing to the recognition of the historical evolution of this position.
