Abstract

Pre-Islamic Arab society was characterized by a deeply entrenched patriarchal culture that placed women in a subordinate position within family and social structures. One prominent manifestation of this system was the practice of zihār, whereby a husband compared his wife to his mother’s back, rendering the wife in a state of legal ambiguity without rights as a spouse yet unable to remarry. This study analyzes the intertextual relationship between pre-Islamic Arab patriarchal culture, the practice of zihār, and the Qur’anic response in Sūrah al-Mujādilah verses 2–4. Using a qualitative library research method with an intertextual framework drawing on Julia Kristeva’s theory, combined with historical-critical analysis and thematic tafsīr, this research finds that Sūrah al-Mujādilah verses 2–4 functions not merely as a legal ruling but as a socio-historical critique that deconstructs Arab patriarchal structures. The novelty of this study lies in reading the prohibition of zihār as an intertextual response to Jāhiliyyah cultural texts, including Mu‘allaqāt poetry and Safaitic Inscriptions. This research contributes to the development of socio-historical Qur’anic studies and gender scholarship in Islam by demonstrating that divine revelation actively dialogues with and transforms discriminatory cultural practices.
