Islamic feminism is a form of feminism concerned with the role of women in islam. Islamic feminists challenge the patriarchal interpretation of what they call “medieval male consensns”and cite female supportive verses of the Quran and sayings from the hadith to promote the egalitarian ethics of Islam. According to them ,the muslim ideal of the “silent, passive, obedient women” has nothing to do with the authentic message of islam.Rather it is a construction of Ulama, the male Jurist theologians who manipulated and distorted the religious texts in order to preserve the patriarchal system.Thus, this paper strives to present Islamic feminism as an endeavour to challenge the orthodox interpretations of islam with special reference to the Malayalam movie Alif directed by Muhammed koya which tries to reclaim the ideological discourse on women and sexuality from the stranglehold of patriarchy.

KEY WORDS: Islamic feminist theologians, prophet Muhammed ,patriarchal dominance, Alif-malayalam movie.
