Biography
Krausen was born in 1949 in Aachen, Germany to a mixed Protestant and Catholic family. She converted to Islam in her early teens. Krausen studied Islam, comparative religion, and Christian theology in university and studied Islamic law, philosophy, and theology traditionally under Imam Mehdi Razvi. Krausen holds traditional ijaza.[3] She worked with a team of Muslim scholars on a translation and commentary of the Qur'an into German from 1984 to 1988. She also partially translated the hadith.[1] Krausen was one of the founding members of the Inter-Religious Dialogue Center at the Department of Theology at Hamburg University formed in 1985. in 1993, Krausen worked with the Initiative for Islamic Studies to develop Islamic curricula.[4][1]
In 1996, Imam Mehdi Ravi appointed her as his successor. Krausen had previously acted as Razvi's assistant. In her role as imam, Krausen provided pastoral counseling and taught seminars about the Qur'an. Conscientious of the concerns of the community and Islamic modesty regulations, Krausen wrote Friday sermons, but did not lead mixed-gender prayers or act as khatib.[1]
