<![CDATA[This study examines gender bias within the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) text-book and explores its deconstruction as a catalyst for social transformation. Despite Islamic education's egalitarian ideals, current textbooks often perpetuate patriarchal stereotypes, marginalizing women in visual representations, fiqh, and historical narratives. Using a qualitative library research method, this research analyzes literature through an interactive model of data reduction, narrative display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that gender bias stems from entrenched patriarchal epistemology disguised as religious doctrine. By radically deconstructing these texts, this study separates universal Islamic values from local patriarchal traditions. Furthermore, it proposes a curriculum reconstruction based on the mubadalah (reciprocity) paradigm, redefining the authoritative roles of figures like Sayyidah Khadijah and Aisyah. The study concludes that an egalitarian PAI curriculum, when synergized with gender-conscious educators, serves as a powerful pedagogical instrument to engineer social transformation toward a just and inclusive society]]>
