Abstract

This study aims to analyze the representation of feminist values in Muhammad Quraish Shihab's Tafsir Al-Misbah, focusing on verse 35 of QS. Al-Ahzab. Using a qualitative literature study method with a thematic (mauḍū‘ī) interpretation approach, this study examines primary data contextually according to Al-Farmawi's steps. The results show that Quraish Shihab interprets the verse as the Quran's affirmation of gender equality in spiritual, moral, and social aspects through the mention of ten equal pairs of men and women. This finding confirms that human dignity is determined by the quality of faith and righteous deeds, not gender. The study concludes that gender inequality is rooted in patriarchal culture and misinterpretation of religion, while the Tafsir Al-Misbah represents a moderate, inclusive, and gender-just understanding of Islam. This research contributes to the discourse of contemporary Islamic feminism in Indonesia.
