Abstract

This study explores gender equality in Islam through three main dimensions: the fundamental concepts of gender and equality, the Islamic principles of justice, and the strategic roles of women in da’wah and education. Employing a qualitative descriptive method with a library research approach, this research draws on primary sources (the Qur’an and Hadith) and contemporary academic literature. Data were analyzed thematically through stages of reduction, presentation, and conclusion. The results indicate that Islam provides strong theological and social foundations for promoting equitable and contextual gender equality. Conceptually, gender is viewed as a social construct that can be reconstructed through critical awareness and justice-oriented interpretation. The principles of monotheism and justice in Islam affirm the spiritual and social equality of men and women while acknowledging their natural distinctions. In da’wah and education, women serve as educators, agents of social transformation, and active contributors in both domestic and public spheres. The study concludes that gender equality in Islam is not an adaptation of modern values but an intrinsic expression of divine justice and human dignity contained within Islamic revelation.

Abstract

This study reexamines the Qur’anic narrative of the creation, relationship, and descent to earth of Adam and Eve through a gender-just interpretive framework. Classical interpretations have often portrayed women as secondary beings or as the primary cause of humanity’s misfortune, views largely shaped by patriarchal assumptions rather than grounded in the Qur’anic text itself. Employing a literature-based qualitative approach and a thematic exegesis (tafsīr maudhu‘ī), this study examines key Qur’anic verses including Surah 4:1, 7:11–27, 20:115–122, and 39:6, by comparing traditional exegetical perspectives with contemporary gender-sensitive interpretations. The findings demonstrate that the Qur’an affirms the ontological equality of men and women through the concept of nafs wāḥidah (a single shared essence) and does not attribute exclusive responsibility for humanity’s earthly descent to Eve. This article contributes to Qur’anic gender studies by reconstructing the Adam–Eve narrative as one that emphasizes collective moral responsibility and mutuality, in accordance with the Qur’an’s broader principles of justice, reciprocity, and gender equality.
