This study examines Muhammad Syahrur’s hermeneutical interpretation of the term nisāʾ in Q.S. Āli ʿImrān [3]: 14 to reconstruct an Islamic perspective affirming gender equality. This study employs a library research method with a semantic analysis approach. The findings reveal three main points. First, Syahrur proposes a reinterpretation of nisāʾ, not as “adult women,” but as “everything new,” based on his theory of lā tarāduf (non-synonymity). Second, Syahrur identifies methodological errors in classical Islamic jurisprudence that have contributed to the objectification and marginalization of women. Third, Syahrur’s interpretation challenges the conventional readings of al-Ṭabarī and other classical exegetes by emphasizing contextual and semantic analysis rather than literal meaning. This study contributes to contemporary Islamic hermeneutics by demonstrating that a linguistically rigorous and context-sensitive approach can produce an interpretation that is more consistent with the Qur’an’s broader spirit of human equality
