Abstract

The interpretation of Quranic Surah An-Nisa: 34 in the classical exegetical tradition has given rise to a gender hierarchy that posits qiwamah as the permanent authority of men over women, an understanding that continues to influence social norms, Islamic family law, and gender relations in Muslim societies to this day. This article aims to deconstruct this hierarchical construct through an integrative, contextual hermeneutic approach, using Amina Wadud's thought as its primary methodological foundation. This study employs a qualitative, library-based research method with three stages of analysis: socio-historical, semantic-linguistic, and intra-textual. The results indicate that the gender hierarchy is formed through four hermeneutical mechanisms: the generalization of particular contexts, the naturalization of social constructs, intra-textual selectivity, and the transmission of the exegetes' androcentrism. A semantic-linguistic analysis of the terms qawwamah, faddhala, nusyuz, and dharaba reveals that the Qur'anic text does not support an absolute gender hierarchy; qawwamah is more accurately understood as a conditional and reciprocal functional responsibility. This study contributes to strengthening the epistemological foundation of inclusive gender exegesis. It offers an integrative hermeneutical model relevant to reforming Islamic family law and religious education in Indonesia.

Abstract

This paper discusses the concept of Maqasid Syariah, its classification, and its relevance in contemporary Islamic law. The aim of this study is to explain the theoretical foundations of Maqasid Syariah, its evolution from classical to modern times, and the importance of Maqasid in developing Islamic law that is responsive to the challenges of contemporary issues. By focusing on the five key goals of Islamic law protecting religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property this paper explores how Maqasid Syariah serves as a philosophical foundation for dynamic and contextual applications of Islamic law, and its implementation in various fields such as economics, healthcare, education, and environmental protection. The paper also discusses the challenges faced in the implementation of Maqasid Syariah in pluralistic social and political contexts, as well as the need for strengthening ijtihad institutions in applying Maqasid Syariah principles in the modern era.
