Abstract

This article is based by the domination of the role of men over women in Middle Eastern society, whereas  when viewed from the religious perspective of the majority of Middle Eastern society, namely Islam, women  is highly respected and have a special position in society. This is due to the pre-Islamic culture and  perceptions that undermine women in their social status, so that women are only objects of entertainment,  household and sexuality without being permitted to massive public activities. This situation lasted for some  time, until finally a modern religious and social-based movement that fought for women's rights emerged.  According to the theory of liberal feminism, women should get the same rights as men, while maintaining the  natural differences that exist between the two. A woman cannot be confined at home and taking care of her  family, but she has the right to socialize and appear in public. Although discrimination against women  continues, in fact there are women who have recorded their role of preaching to society. If all this time the  preachers were generally male, then history records that there were female preachers who were influential in  the religious life of Middle Eastern society. The research method I use is descriptive-analysis based on  literature review. Based on the study that I convey in this article, the contribution of women in religious  preaching in the Middle East is a reality that should be appreciated amidst globalization and modernization,  even though the culture of patriarchy and women's subordination has not completely disappeared and has  become a hereditary culture of Middle Eastern society.

Abstract

The relationship between Sunni and Shia communities in the Islamic world has long been a global concern due to its historical, cultural, and political complexities. The purpose of this study is to classify the complexity of contemporary relations between Sunnis and Shias. Furthermore, this study is expected to describe the prospects for Sunni-Shia relations after the Beijing reconciliation agreement. The content analysis research method was chosen based on the instrument used by the researcher, namely the literature on Sunni and Shia developments. The results show that Sunnis, who mostly live in Saudi Arabia, and Shias, who mostly live in Iran, have different perspectives on religious understanding, especially regarding life principles. Shias are known as fanatical worshipers of Muhammad's grandson (Husain) and believe that only his descendants are worthy of becoming the next caliph. Meanwhile, Sunnis believe that the caliph can be chosen through consensus. This difference has become a conflict over the years and has developed into a conflict between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Relations between the two can be strengthened in the Middle East if the Beijing reconciliation agreement is implemented and adhered to together for the advancement of the Arabian Peninsula in the eyes of the world.
