Abstract

In carrying out their duties as educators in schools, teachers bear a large burden. An experienced teacher is expected to be able to carry out his responsibilities in the learning process with enthusiasm and fun. Reality shows that the learning process in schools is often considered boring and ineffective, so educational goals are not achieved. This research aims to examine the meaning and essence that emerge from the QS. Al-’Ashr verses 1–3 by considering the opinions of commentators regarding the value or education-related content of the QS. Al-’Ashr verses 1-3, regarding the importance of time, faith, good deeds, and behaving in truth and patience in the formation of teacher competence. This research uses a library research style, and Tahlili interpretation is used in this research. The results show that teacher competence from the Surat Al-Ashr perspective involves managing time wisely, understanding students' potential and needs, instilling the value of faith, supporting holistic growth, providing positive advice, and maintaining patience in educating.

Abstract

Women with disabilities have always been considered weak and underappreciated in various ways, resulting in the denial of their rights to education, health, employment, and justice. The viewpoint of feminism emanating from the west is not a strange entity for the east. This is actually considered good, we can even see this in the behavior of the Prophet, who showed humanist characteristics in women by respecting gender equality in various fields. This research is located at UIN KH Abdurrahman Wahid Pekalongan and describes issues of disability feminism and behavior in women with disabilities. The stages of research through data collection (observation, interviews, and documentation) are continued with data analysis and finally drawing conclusions. The results of this study show that the pattern of feminist behavior that occurs in women with disabilities does not all see them as weak, some even admire their determination, so that the existence of feminism does not limit women with disabilities from developing their talents. However, sometimes, with their limitations, they have no friends. One of the women with disabilities is always patient and enthusiastic about living her life. Closely related to the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), it is about respecting women on behalf of their wives and Muslim women in the early days of Islam with their rights in economic, social, positional, and other ways. Based on the analysis, it can be concluded that the Holy Prophet is a profile of a prophet who is feminist, non-discriminatory, humanist, and universal.

Abstract

The division of inheritance which refers to inheritance verses still leaves unresolved problems, such as the 2:1 division between men and women which is considered gender biased. Surah al-Nisa/4: 11 which explains that men's share is twice that of women is the maximum limit. Under certain conditions a woman has the potential to have more shares. This research aims to determine the distribution of inheritance. This research method uses a type of library research. Library research or library research using methods of collecting library data, reading, taking notes and processing research materials. This research uses a qualitative approach because the data source and research results in the library research that the researcher will carry out are in the form of descriptions of words. The results of this research show that the main principle that must be guided by the distribution of inheritance in Islamic law is justice. The most prominent provision in the inheritance distribution system in Islamic law is found in Surah al-Nisa/4: 11, where one man's share is the same as the share of two women or in a ratio (2:1), textually this provision does seem unfair and exclude women more. However, the justice contained in this verse is not justice based on numbers and quantities, but by looking at the functions, duties, roles and responsibilities of men and women. The portion of justice for humans is certainly different from justice in the eyes of Allah SWT.

Abstract

The relationship between men and women, both in the domestic and public spheres, is explained in QS. Al-Nisā/4: 34. The interpretations of ulama in the past were considered gender biased, but on the other hand, there are still things that can be applied from these interpretations, through deconstruction efforts. This article is here to understand QS. Al-Nisā/4: 34 in depth regarding the interpretations of commentators from time to time. The aim of this research is formulated in two ways: (1) examining the interpretation of the ulama towards the word qawwām and (2) deconstructing this interpretation to present a new alternative that is relevant today. This research uses a literature study with a descriptive-analytical model. The results obtained from this research show that the interpretations of previous scholars basically carry the same spirit, namely care and respect for women. Deconstruction efforts were carried out by analyzing the chronology of the revelation of the verse, which suggests egalitarianism. Apart from that, when the conditions and circumstances that make men become qawwām are transferred and owned by women, it can be said that women's leadership in the public sphere is no longer something that needs to be debated, considering that men and women have the same opportunity to have the potential.

Abstract

Discussions about gender issues in contemporary times are never-ending topics, including in the realm of Islamic studies. This study examines women's testimonies in Asghar Ali Engineer's thoughts, which are analyzed using Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutical phenomenological framework. Engineer's thoughts regarding women's testimony are important to discuss because of the dismantling of the discourse he carried out regarding verses with gender connotations in the Al-Qur'an, which often do not follow the mainstream interpretation. This research is library research with qualitative research methods. The primary source for this research is Asghar Ali Engineer's interpretation of verses from women's testimonies, while the secondary sources used are other literature sources that are relevant to the research, both in the form of books and journal articles. This research aims to track and explore Asghar Ali Engineer's thoughts regarding the verses in women's testimonies. The author uses Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutic phenomenology theory in analyzing Asghar Ali's thoughts. The results of this research were the engineer's re-reading of the verse about women's testimony, namely QS. Al-Baqarah/2: 282. In Paul Ricoer's concept of hermeneutical phenomenology, engineers go through a process of decontextualization-recontextualization in order to obtain new meanings that are relevant to the current context. In the decontextualization process, Engineer explained the socio-cultural conditions at the time the verse was revealed, which implied that women lacked knowledge and experience regarding business, so that one additional female witness was needed as a reminder, and it did not fully mean that women's status was half that of men. The recontextualization process includes three stages, namely semantic, reflexive, and existential. In the modern context where women are more educated about financial matters, even more so than men, there is nothing to prevent a woman's position as a witness from being equal to that of a man.

Abstract

The legal issue of the distribution of inheritance for women with a ratio of 2: 1 which is stated in the Qur'an Surah Al-Nisā' verses 11 and 176 reaps many pros and cons in its interpretation. This is evidenced by many writings and books written by Muslim scholars to express criticism of interpretation and perspective in examining the law contained in the inheritance verse. The phrase equality and justice led to the issue of equal distribution of inheritance between men and women. This was pioneered by feminists. Through this, it appears that the distribution of inheritance for women needs to be studied further. The focus of the study of this paper is how to criticize the interpretation of the mufasir scholars on the inheritance verse of surah Al-Nisā' verses 11 and 176. By using a qualitative approach and library research method, this study shows that the law of inheritance distribution received by women has received a lot of criticism both pro and con from the scholars of interpretation. This study shows that those who are in favor of the distribution of women's inheritance with a ratio of 2: 1, namely Muhammad Abduh, Tabatabai, and Muhammad Syahrur with their maximum limit theory. Those who are against and have new ideas are Amina Wadud and Munawir Sjadzali.

Abstract

This study discusses the dynamics of the role of career women in an Islamic perspective, specifically how Muslim women balance career demands and religious guidance. In recent decades, the role of women in the workforce has undergone significant changes, with more and more women participating in the public sector. Nonetheless, the challenge of fulfilling domestic responsibilities as wives and mothers by Islamic teachings remains a major concern. This study uses a qualitative approach with a literature study method to analyze religious texts and relevant contemporary literature. The results show that Islam recognizes women's right to work and have a career, but emphasizes the importance of balancing domestic and public roles. Scholars' views on career women vary, from conservative to progressive, but they all agree that women's work should be in line with Sharia principles. Support from the family, especially the husband, is crucial in helping women carry out this dual role. This research provides practical guidance for Muslim women in navigating career challenges in the modern era, as well as contributing to the existing literature by offering a new perspective on how Islam can be a relevant guide in the lives of career women.

Abstract

The importance of the breastfeeding role for mothers. Not only for the growth and development of the baby but also for their health. However, some mothers are unable to breastfeed their children due to various factors, such as being working moms or having physical health issues. However, mothers who are unable to breastfeed their children are often criticized and even condemned, which creates a mental burden that disrupts the well-being of what should be a happy mother. This writing addresses the issue of the concept of breastfeeding mothers found in QS. Al-Baqarah/2: 233, which is deemed necessary to be understood in depth from the perspective of modern scholars, specifically Wahbah az-Zhuhaili in his Tafsir Al-Munīr.

Abstract

This paper examines the Qur'ānic transposition of Al-Kitab on the understanding that the initial creation of women came from the rib of men. It seems that this discussion arises not from the narrative of the Qur'anic text that explicitly explains it, but only from the narrative of previous interpretations and Hadith narrated by Bukhari and Muslims. This research formulates two problems, first, how the concept of the initial creation of women according to the Qur'an and Al-Kitab, and second, how the transposition of the Qur'an to Al-Kitab. To analyze texts that have a relationship with each other, this paper uses Kristeva's intertextuality approach. This article concludes that the transposition of the Qur'an to the Bible in Kristeva's analysis contains several elements, namely; the connection of substance or excerpt regarding the purpose of the creation of pairs to complement each other and produce offspring, the contradiction between the text of the Qur'an and Al-Kitab which contains elements of haplology occurs in the abrogation of the Qur'anic text which states that women come from the ribs of men, defamiliarization or changes in meaning conveyed by the Qur'an implicitly about the initial creation of women and demystification which occurs when the Qur'anic text changes the definition of the initial creation of women who are the same as men so that this difference creates Qur'anic opposition to the concept of Al-Kitab or conversion.

Abstract

This study aims to examine Amina Wadud’s thoughts in her interpretation of the Qur'an using Jacques Lacan’s psychoanalytic approach. The literature review research method is used as a research approach that involves various sources of literature, including Amina Wadud’s works, especially “Qur'an and Woman: Rereading the Sacred Text from a Woman’s Perspective,” as well as related literature that discusses Lacan's thoughts, Islamic feminism, and the interpretation of the Qur'an. Based on Lacan’s mirror stage and his psychoanalytic concepts to analyze the construction of Amina Wadud’s self-identity and gender roles in the interpretation of the Qur'an, it is found in the results of this study that there is identification related to gender identity, inequality, and rejection of patriarchal traditions in Amina Wadud’s thoughts reflected in her interpretation. One of them is in QS. Al-Nisā [4]: ​​1, showing the construction of Amina Wadud’s self-identity and gender roles in the interpretation of the Qur'an.
