A [...] foundational principle of God’s Self-Disclosure is that although “severe, strict and unrelenting [in] justice,” God never does any -zulm- to anybody” [...]. To do Zulm (in the Qurān) [...], is “ ‘to act in such a way as to transgress the proper limit and encroach upon the right of some other person. Devine Justice thus is self-circurmscribed by respect for the rights of humans as moral agents. However, if God never does Zulm to anyone, then God’s Speech (the Qur’ān) also cannot teach Zulm against anyone. That is, if “God by definition, cannot be a misogynist, then God’s Speech also cannot by definition be misogynist, or teach misogyny or injustice.
