This study aims to analyze the concept of gender equality within the framework of Islamic law and its relation to Human Rights. The issue of gender equality has become a significant debate due to the differences between normative values in Islamic teachings and their implementation in various Muslim countries. This research employs a normative juridical method with conceptual, statutory, and comparative approaches. The data sources consist of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials, which are analyzed qualitatively. The results indicate that, normatively, Islamic law upholds the principles of justice (al-‘adl), equality (al-musawah), and public interest (maslahah), which are in line with human rights values. However, in practice, there are still gaps caused by textual interpretations, patriarchal cultural influences, and state policies that are not yet fully responsive to gender issues. Comparative studies in several Muslim countries reveal variations in the implementation of gender equality, where more contextual and progressive approaches tend to produce more inclusive policies. The maqashid sharia approach can serve as a solution in bridging Islamic law and human rights through adaptive reinterpretation in accordance with contemporary developments. Therefore, gender equality can be realized through the comprehensive and just integration of Islamic values and human rights.
