The Muslim Widows Study explores the personal experiences of women who outlived their husbands and the communal reactions to their new circumstances. Launched in March 2020, the project examines survey responses of 50 predominantly African American women affiliated with the leadership of IWDM, in depth interviews with 30 of those women as well as survey data from 19 of their Imams. The Study calls attention to the use of the term widow in Hadith literature and the manner in which the concept of widow appears in the Qur’an. Ultimately, the Muslim Widows Study provides an opportunity for American Muslims to match our approach to widow maintenance to the teachings of Islam.
