This paper will examine the role of women in the sacred sphere across various Islamic traditions. While Salafi Islamic currents adopt a stringent position concerning sacredness in general and women's role in the sacred sphere, other traditions such as Shi'a or Sufi tend towards a broader understanding of female impact in divine creation. Key questions to be addressed include: • What role do women play in the sacred sphere within the official and orthodox doctrines of classical Islam? Is it possible to speak of female theology within these traditions? • How is the sacredness of female figures manifested in living religious practices in Islamic societies, particularly in private and folk religious traditions? • What role does the margin play in tolerating and accepting belief in female sacredness? How do transitional periods and contact zones serve as fertile ground for diverse forms of coexistence? • The elaboration of the Islamic concept of the divine throne in female theology and its parallels in the Jewish Shechinah. • Fatimah and the concept of "Khadijah" in Sunni Islam. • Fatimah in Shi'a Islam and Gnostic Batini traditions. • The role of femininity in the philosophy and mysticism of Ibn Arabi. • The role of female members of Muhammad's (PBUH) family in modern and contemporary Egypt. This contribution will discuss these questions, focusing on the connections between ancient concepts of female sacredness and the Islamic debate about the nature of God from different perspectives throughout the long history of Islamic belief.
