<![CDATA[Educational equality is a key issue in human resource development that continues to be a focus of attention in various countries, including from an Islamic perspective. There remains a perception that men and women do not always have equal access to education; therefore, a comprehensive study based on Islamic teachings is needed. This study aims to analyze the concept of educational equality for men and women from the perspective of the Qur’an and hadith, as well as its relevance to the implementation of education in the modern era. This study employs a library research method with a qualitative approach. Primary data were obtained from the Qur’an and hadith, while secondary data were sourced from exegetical works, books, and scholarly articles discussing education and gender equality in Islam. Data analysis was conducted using a descriptive-analytical method by interpreting Qur’anic verses and hadith related to the obligation to seek knowledge, the status of men and women, and the right to education. Research findings indicate that Islam regards education as both a right and an obligation for every Muslim, regardless of gender. The Qur’an and the hadith affirm that men and women have equal opportunities to acquire knowledge as a means of enhancing the quality of their faith, moral character, and social contributions. Biological differences do not serve as a basis for restricting access to education but rather form part of a division of roles that remains grounded in the principle of justice. Thus, educational equality in Islam is an embodiment of the values of justice, respect for human dignity, and an effort to create a society that is knowledgeable, virtuous, and civilized.]]>
