Abstract

This study examines Asma Barlas's thoughts on the rereading of the Qur'an text as a form of liberation of women from patriarchal interpretation. Using a descriptive qualitative approach and a literature review, this study examines Asma Barlas' main works, especially Believing Women in Islam: Unreading Patriarchal Interpretations of the Qur'an, as well as secondary literature relevant to gender interpretation and Islamic feminism. The study's results show that Asma Barlas rejects the notion that the Qur'an is patriarchal. He emphasized that gender bias in interpretation is a historical and social product of male mufasir who live in a patriarchal system. Using historical and hermeneutic arguments, Barlas constructs an epistemology of egalitarianism rooted in the concept of monotheism, in which there is no hierarchy of power between men and women. His reinterpretation of verses such as Q.S. An-Nisa [4]:34 and Q.S. Al-Baqarah [2]:228 affirms that the terms qiwamah and "male degree" do not confer legitimacy or superiority, but rather entail functional social responsibility. Thus, this study confirms that the Qur'an contains the values of justice and gender equality, which can serve as a theological foundation for women's liberation in contemporary Islam.

Abstract

The problem of plastic waste in the ocean is currently an important concern because of its great impact on the environment and human life. This research departs from the concern that the study of Qur'an interpretation is still rarely directly associated with modern environmental issues, especially about marine pollution. The purpose of this research is to understand the message of QS. Al-Rum: 41 about damage at sea using ma‘nā-cum-maghzā approach which emphasizes the meaning and moral message of the verse in the contemporary context. This research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach through a literature review, which explores various classical and contemporary interpretations. The results of the study show that the verse not only talks about the consequences of human actions in general, but also contains a moral message for humans to maintain the balance of nature and not damage it, including the sea which is now polluted with plastic waste. In conclusion, ma‘nā-cum-maghzā approach helps to relate the values of the Qur'an to today's environmental issues in terms of environmental damage caused by plastic waste, so that the interpretation becomes more relevant and solutive. Academically, this research contributes to the development of a more contextual thematic interpretation and encourages ecological awareness in an Islamic perspective.
