Abstract

In the era of globalization, gender inequality continues to persist within religious traditions, often reinforced by patriarchal interpretations shaped by colonial legacies that hinder women’s rights and broader efforts toward global justice. This paper explores how postcolonial feminism can reinterpret religious texts to challenge these norms and promote equitable gender relations. Using a qualitative interpretive design within a descriptive-comparative framework, the study analyzes key texts from the Qur’an, the Bible, and the Vedas through contextual exegesis, etymological analysis, and dialogical engagement with participants from South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the Middle East. The findings reveal that traditional patriarchal readings stem from socio-historical contexts rather than inherent textual mandates, with colonial influences intensifying hierarchical structures. Postcolonial feminist reinterpretations uncover egalitarian potentials, including shared responsibility in Qur’anic verses, ontological equality in Biblical creation narratives, and gender balance in Vedic symbolism. The study extends postcolonial feminist theory by integrating decolonial hermeneutics into scriptural analysis, offering a framework for reimagining gender agency within sacred texts. Practical strategies, such as workshops that empower marginalized voices, demonstrate a shift toward inclusive discourse, providing pathways for policy reform and community transformation in pursuit of gender justice.

Abstract

The emergence of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) represents an innovative shift in modern-day financial systems through which financial services can be delivered between peers using blockchain technology independent of centralized intermediaries. Although the concept of DeFi provides better access, transparency, and efficiency, its adherence to the laws of Islamic economics is a contentious issue among scholars in relation to problems associated with usury (riba), excessive uncertainty (gharar), and gambling (maysir). Adressing, this study seeks to assess the compatibility of DeFi mechanisms with Islamic finance through the lens of maqāṣid al-Shari'ah framework. Using a qualitative library research methodology, the present study discusses classical sources of Islamic jurisprudence, current fatwa, and academic literature related to major DeFi protocols from a maqāṣid perspective. The findings reveal that despite the use of many DeFi platforms with some features do not conform to Sharia principles, the blockchain technology that forms the basis of DeFi systems and the use of smart contracts offer potentials to be used in Sharia-based systems. This study shows that there is potential to reorganize the DeFi protocols based on Islamic principles like murābaḥah, mushārakah, and wakālah and at the same time promoting the main maqāṣid goals, particularly preservation of wealth, faith, and public interest. Furthermore, a conceptual framework that combines Sharia governance with blockchain technology and innovative finance has been suggested.
