Stories related to gendered social relations permeate the Qur'an, and nearly three hundred verses involve specific women and girls. These stories weave together theology and ethics to reinforce central Qur'anic ideas regarding submission to God and moral accountability. Women and Gender in the Qur'an outlines how women and girls - old and young, barren, fertile, chaste, profligate, reproachable, and saintly - enter Qur'anic history and advance the Qur'an's overarching didactic aims.
