Women's Rights in Islam: A Thematic Interpretive Review

Abstract

Using thematic interpretation, this article examines women's rights from an Islamic perspective. By analyzing relevant verses from the Quran, the aim of this study is to gain a better understanding of the often-contested position and rights of women in Islam. This study examines both interpretation and gender studies. The aim is to gain an understanding of how the principle of gender justice is applied in Islam and how thematic interpretation can provide a broader explanation of women's rights. This research is important because of the misperception of women's position in Islam, which is often influenced by limited interpretations. This study uses thematic interpretation with a qualitative analysis of verses related to women. The hypothesis proposed is that with a more comprehensive understanding of interpretation, women's rights in Islam can be seen as part of universal social justice. The results show that the Quran explicitly provides equal rights for women, both in family, social, and economic aspects. The contribution of this study is to provide a more holistic understanding of women's rights in Islam and to enrich the discourse on the application of the principle of gender equality in a religious context. Thus, this research is expected to contribute to correcting misunderstandings and introducing a fairer and more contextual interpretation of women's rights in Islam.
