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.

Abstract

Amidst the complexities of the era of information disruption and the escalating global humanitarian crisis, mastering critical thinking skills based on social empathy and transformative religious literacy has become a fundamental urgency for students. Emancipatory and dialogical theological teaching has been identified as an effective and creative pedagogical strategy in revitalizing students' awareness to respond to structural injustice. This research is grounded in concerns about the paradox of religion in the Muslim world, where sacred values ​​are often reduced to legitimize patriarchal and authoritarian practices. In contrast to conventional theological studies, which tend to be trapped in normative-dogmatic rigidity, this article evaluates the significance of a paradigm shift toward theoanthropology in stimulating students' cognitive-analytical and psychomotor aspects in social action. The main objective of this study is to formulate an epistemological framework for Asghar Ali Engineer's theoanthropology as a solution to contemporary social crises. Using interpretive qualitative methods with a critical hermeneutics approach, this study analyzes Engineer's discourse, supported by a comprehensive secondary literature review. The results confirm that the theoanthropological paradigm successfully reconstructs the meaning of faith as an ethical praxis that aligns divine transcendence with the mandate of humanity. The findings indicate that critical awareness in textual interpretation is a key determinant of the success of this transformation, while rigid dogmatism has been shown to contribute little to social change. In conclusion, theoanthropology is seen as an urgent integrative framework to be adopted in Islamic education curricula to strengthen advocacy for human rights, gender justice, and harmony within pluralism.
