Abstract

This study examines the political career of Maria Ullfah from 1934 to 1947, as well as the influence of her family and education on the formation of her political consciousness. Born into an educated priyayi family, Maria Ullfah had access to extensive formal education from an early age, eventually pursuing legal studies at Leiden University in the Netherlands. Growing up in a family environment closely connected to intellectual traditions and the colonial bureaucracy, combined with her experiences witnessing injustices against women, nurtured her social sensitivity and early commitment to gender equality. Her Western education and interactions with figures of the national movement, such as Sutan Sjahrir, further strengthened her awareness as part of a colonized nation in need of change. Upon returning to Indonesia, she actively participated in women’s organizations, educational institutions, and the national movement, playing a key role in the Indonesian Women’s Congress, KOWANI, and literacy eradication efforts. During the revolutionary period, her intellectual capacity and dedication led to her being appointed a member of the BPUPKI and later becoming the first female Minister of Social Affairs. Her contributions not only opened public spaces for women but also played a significant role in the political processes leading to the establishment of the Indonesian state. This study demonstrates that family background, education, and personal experiences were significant factors in shaping Maria Ullfah as a central figure in the women’s movement and the struggle for independence.

Abstract

Purpose - This article aims to examine the cosmology of love in the thought of Sachiko Murata and to explore its application to Qur'anic cosmic verses concerning the sky, the earth, and rain. While studies on Qur'anic cosmology and Murata's intellectual contributions have expanded considerably, limited attention has been given to integrating her Taoist-Sufistic framework into the interpretation of cosmic verses. The study argues that love (maḥabbah) constitutes an ontological foundation that underlies the structure and harmony of the cosmos. Design/methods/approach - This research employs a qualitative library-based methodology. Data were collected from primary and secondary sources related to Qur'anic cosmology, Sachiko Murata's writings, Taoist philosophy, and Islamic mysticism, particularly Ibn Arabi's metaphysics. The analysis utilizes thematic exegesis (tafsīr mawḍūʿī) combined with philosophical hermeneutics to uncover symbolic and relational meanings embedded in selected cosmic verses. Findings - The study reveals that the Qur'anic representation of the cosmos reflects a dynamic relational structure grounded in love. The sky symbolizes an active-transcendent principle, the earth embodies a receptive-immanent principle, and rain functions as a mediating element that animates their interaction. These cosmic relations illustrate maḥabbah as a unifying ontological force that sustains creation and cosmic order. Research implications/limitations - The study is limited to textual and philosophical analysis and does not incorporate empirical or ecological field data. Consequently, its conclusions are primarily interpretive and theoretical, providing a foundation for further interdisciplinary research on Qur'anic cosmology and environmental ethics. Originality/value - This article offers a novel integration of Murata's Taoist-Sufistic cosmology with Qur'anic studies and proposes a "cosmology of love" as a model of relational ontology. It contributes to Islamic ecological spirituality by reorienting the human-nature relationship from anthropocentrism toward relational cosmocentrism.

Abstract

This study analyzes the figure of Maryam in the Qur'an as a representation of women's piety and autonomy through the perspective of embolic anthropology and gender status. This stadi has the purpose of examining Maryam's piety not only as a symbol of sexual purity, but as a symbol of spiritual independence that plays an active role with piety in the midst of patriarchal social status. The method used is qualitative using textual and interpretative analysis limited by QS. Ali-Imron [3]: 42-47 and QS. Maryam [19]: 16-23, making Tafsir Al-Qurthubi' as the primary reference. The data analysis used the symbolic anthropological theories of Clifford Geertz and Sherry B. Ortner to examine those related to religious symbols, women's bodies, and patriarchal cultural constructions. This research reveals how classical interpretations tend to highlight Maryam's piety through the concept of 'iffah (chastity) and moral control over women's bodies is something that reflects patriarchal norms. However, the Qur'anic narrative also presents Maryam as a religious sub-jel who is independent, dialogue, and establishes a direct relationship with Allah without a male intermediary. In conclusion, Maryam not only presents moral purity and nobility, but also becomes a symbol of women's spiritual power and autonomy which opens up a wider and contextual space for gender representation in the Qur'an.

Abstract

This study examines misogynistic narratives in the hadith tradition by investigating how specific hadiths concerning women have been constructed and legitimized as dominant discourses within Muslim societies. The analysis focuses on hadiths portraying women as sources of temptation (fitnah), deficient in intellect and religion, unqualified for leadership, restricted in their mobility, and created from a crooked rib. The study employs Asma Barlas's critical hermeneutics as a supporting interpretive approach to distinguish between the hadith text, its socio-historical context, and its interpretive tradition, thereby identifying patriarchal assumptions embedded in their reception and interpretation. Michel Foucault's genealogical approach serves as the primary analytical framework to trace the historical processes through which these interpretations were produced, codified, legitimized, and reproduced within relations of power. The findings demonstrate that misogynistic tendencies are not inherent in the hadith texts themselves but are products of interpretive constructions shaped by patriarchal socio-historical contexts. Genealogical analysis further reveals that these interpretations were institutionalized through hadith commentaries, Islamic jurisprudence, and religious institutions, eventually evolving into a regime of truth that positioned women in subordinate social and religious roles. This study argues that the critique should be directed not at the authority of hadith as a source of Islamic teaching, but at the historical processes through which patriarchal interpretations have been produced and sustained.

Abstract

This study examines the trajectory of Maria Ullfah’s political career from 1934 to 1947, focusing on the influence of family background and education on the formation of her political consciousness. Using historical research methods, this study presents findings showing that Maria was born into a well-educated priyayi family, which provided her with broad access to education, culminating in her legal studies at Leiden University. Her intellectual and bureaucratic environment, along with her experiences witnessing injustices faced by women, fostered social awareness and a strong commitment to addressing gender discrimination. Western education and her interactions with nationalist figures such as Sutan Sjahrir further strengthened her awareness as part of a colonized nation. After returning to Indonesia, she became actively involved in women’s organizations, educational activities, the Indonesian Women’s Congress, KOWANI, and literacy eradication efforts. During the revolutionary period, she was entrusted with important roles, including serving as a member of BPUPKI and becoming the first female Minister of Social Affairs. The findings underscore the significant role of family background, education, and personal experiences in shaping Maria Ullfah as a central figure in the women’s movement during Indonesia’s struggle for independence.

Abstract

Gender studies in Qur'anic exegesis continue to develop, yet research on classical tafsir remains largely limited to identifying patriarchal biases or contemporary reinterpretations, while studies that position tafsir as a historical product shaped by the social, cultural, and intellectual contexts of the exegete remain relatively scarce. This article analyzes the construction of masculinity and femininity in Tafsir Marrah Labid by Shaykh Nawawi al-Bantani and explains the underlying context that shaped these constructions. The research employs a qualitative method based on library research with a historical-critical approach and content analysis. Primary data are drawn from Tafsir Marrah Labid, while secondary data are obtained from journals, books, and relevant previous studies. The analysis focuses on the exegesis of gender-related verses, namely QS. al-Baqarah: 187, 228, 282, QS. ar-Rum: 21, QS. an-Nisa': 34, QS. al-Ahzab: 33, and QS. at-Tahrim: 10–12. The findings show that masculinity is constructed through leadership, financial provision, protection, moral authority, and socio-legal spheres, whereas femininity is constructed through piety, honor, biological trust, obedience, and spiritual steadfastness. Shaykh Nawawi's interpretation does not reflect a merely dominant relationship but demonstrates principles of reciprocity, public welfare (maslahah), and ethical responsibility. The gender construction in this tafsir emerges from the interaction between the Qur'anic text, classical exegetical tradition, the school of jurisprudence (madhhab) adhered to, and the socio-intellectual context of the 19th century
