Abstract

The discourse on gender equality in Islam often sparks theological debates, particularly regarding the interpretation of Surah al-Nisā’ [4]: 34, which is frequently used to justify male superiority over women. This article critically examines Muḥammad Ḥusayn Faḍl Allāh’s (1935–2010) interpretation of this verse in his Tafsīr min Waḥy al-Qur’ān. The study addresses two questions: how Faḍl Allāh interprets qiwāmah, and how his thinking on gender equality is constructed. Using a qualitative approach with literature review, the study finds that Faḍl Allāh interprets qiwāmah contextually and functionally within husband-wife relations, rather than as a justification for male dominance. The construction of his thought that is based on historical-conceptual interpretation, leads to the concept of substantive justice and moral responsibility. Faḍl Allāh’s rejection of interpretations that justify violence or the subjugation of women is unequivocal, and he positions gender equality as the paramount ethical ideal of Islam, placing significant emphasis on the well-being of families and society as a whole. This finding shows the urgency of a progressive and responsive interpretive approach to gender issues, especially in the context of rereading religious texts.

Abstract

This article explores the concept of religious moderation as articulated within the framework of Risalah Islam Berkemajuan (Progressive Islamic Mission), a key ideological formulation of Muhammadiyah that emphasizes rationality, tolerance, social ethics, and engagement with modernity. The study aims to understand how this framework constructs religious moderation not merely as a theological posture, but also as a socially embedded discourse shaped by historical and epistemological contexts. To deepen the analysis, Karl Mannheim’s theory of sociology of knowledge is employed as a theoretical lens. Mannheim’s insight into the relationship between thought and social location allows for a critical reading of how Muhammadiyah’s Risalah Islam Berkemajuan responds to socio-political challenges, especially in pluralistic societies. This article argues that religious moderation in this context functions both as a normative ideal and as a strategic socio-religious construct that reflects the dynamic interplay between ideology and social structure. Through this approach, the study highlights the epistemic foundations and sociological relevance of religious moderation in contemporary Islamic discourse.
