GENDER CONCEPT AND GENDER ISSUES IN ISLAM

 

Often gender issues discussed are gender inequality and equality. Inequality has been linked to injustice against women. Teachings in religion are alleged to be the root of all problems of discrimination and injustice against women. Is it true that the teachings of Islam are the root of all problems of discrimination and injustice against women? In order to understand and explain this problem, we need to refer to the Qur'an as the main and first guideline and guidance.

The basis for equality between men and women is mentioned in the QS. an-Nahl verse 97 which means:

"Whoever does good deeds, both male and female in a state of faith, then surely we will give him a good life and we will reward him with a better reward than what they have done."

in QS. al-Ahzab verse 35 which means:

Based on the above verses, it is clear that men and women are not differentiated in order to get glory on His side. Both have the same chance of getting forgiveness and reward. In fact, both of them have the same potential to slip into sin. So it can be concluded, teachings in religion are not the root of all problems of discrimination and injustice against women. But it is a cultural practice or community tradition that sometimes runs away from the true concept of Islamic teachings.
