Abstract

This study investigates the multi-functional role of mosques in contemporary Islamic societies by examining the case of Masjid Al-Malik Khalid at Universiti Sains Malaysia. While mosques are traditionally viewed as places of worship, this study argues that they can serve as dynamic centers for Islamic development, addressing broader community needs. Through qualitative analysis of archival documents, programmatic materials, and interviews with key stakeholders, the study examines how Masjid Al-Malik Khalid goes beyond ritual practice to encompass educational initiatives, social welfare programs, financial empowerment schemes, and community outreach efforts. The findings highlight the mosque's success in fostering spiritual growth, promoting knowledge acquisition, enhancing social well-being, and empowering the Muslim community. Drawing upon the Malaysian context, the study explores the potential for replicating such multi-functional mosque models in other settings, particularly in the Nigerian context. By analyzing the challenges and opportunities of different socio-cultural contexts, this research contributes to a nuanced understanding of how mosques can serve as catalysts for holistic Islamic development in the 21st century.

Abstract

This research examines the concept of nafsin wahidah in Surah An-Nisa verse 1 through Asma Barlas's anti-patriarchal theological perspective to address the dominance of classical exegesis that exhibits gender bias. This verse is often used to justify gender hierarchy through the narrative of Eve's creation from Adam's rib, despite the Qur'an not explicitly mentioning this. The significance of this study lies in its attempt to deconstruct the patriarchal legacy within the exegetical tradition that has resulted in social and legal inequalities against Muslim women. This research employs a qualitative approach with text analysis methods based on Asma Barlas's hermeneutics of tawhid, involving linguistic and historical analysis of QS. An-Nisa verse 1, as well as comparisons between classical exegesis and Barlas's approach in Believing Women in Islam. The analysis reveals that nafsin wahidah refers to the non-gendered and equal essence of humanity, rather than representing Adam as a superior male. Barlas dismantles patriarchal assumptions in classical exegesis by demonstrating that the concept of zaujaha emphasizes mutuality, not subordination. The hermeneutics of tawhid developed by Barlas positions the principle of God's oneness as the ethical and theological foundation for understanding gender equality. This research affirms that the Qur'an, when read contextually and justly, supports egalitarian relations between men and women. It is recommended that the hermeneutics of tawhid approach be applied more broadly in exegetical studies to build an inclusive and gender-just Islamic theology.
