QiST: Journal of Quran and Tafseer StudiesQiST: Journal of Quran and Tafseer Studies

Contemporary discussions on gender in the Quran have generated extensive scholarly debate, particularly regarding equality, authority, social roles, and justice. Although previous studies have made important contributions, much of the existing scholarship remains fragmented, often focusing on isolated controversial verses or approaching the issue primarily through legal, ideological, or apologetic frameworks. Consequently, there remains a significant gap in studies that reconstruct the Qurans discourse on gender through an integrated thematic exegetical perspective that connects theological, ethical, historical, and social dimensions. This study addresses that gap by employing a qualitative library research design using the thematic exegetical (tafsīr mawḍūī) method. It analyzes selected Quranic verses related to human creation, spiritual accountability, reciprocity, family structure, inheritance, and social responsibility, while engaging both classical tafsir and contemporary scholarship on gender in Islam. The findings show that the Quran upholds the ontological and spiritual equality of men and women while also recognizing certain contextual and functional distinctions in social and familial responsibilities. These distinctions, however, are not framed as a theological basis for absolute hierarchy, but rather as part of a justice-oriented moral order grounded in reciprocity, accountability, and shared human dignity. The significance of this study lies in its contribution to contemporary global debates on religion, gender, and scriptural interpretation by offering a balanced Quranic framework that may inform discussions on gender justice, Islamic education, ethical family relations, and inclusive religious discourse in both Muslim and plural societies.

The study concludes that the Quran affirms the ontological and spiritual equality of men and women while also recognizing certain distinctions in social and familial responsibilities.These distinctions are not a basis for hierarchy, but rather part of a justice-oriented moral order grounded in reciprocity, accountability, and shared human dignity.This offers a balanced Quranic framework that can inform discussions on gender justice, Islamic education, ethical family relations, and inclusive religious discourse in diverse societies.Ultimately, the Quran promotes a balanced model of human relations, emphasizing both equality and complementarity within a framework of divine justice.

Berdasarkan penelitian ini, terdapat beberapa saran penelitian lanjutan yang dapat dikembangkan. Pertama, penelitian lebih lanjut dapat mengeksplorasi bagaimana prinsip-prinsip kesetaraan dan komplementaritas gender dalam Al-Quran dapat diimplementasikan dalam konteks pendidikan Islam, khususnya dalam pengembangan kurikulum yang inklusif dan responsif terhadap kebutuhan perempuan dan laki-laki. Kedua, penelitian dapat difokuskan pada analisis komparatif antara interpretasi Al-Quran tentang gender di berbagai budaya dan masyarakat Muslim, untuk mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor sosio-kultural yang memengaruhi pemahaman dan praktik kesetaraan gender. Ketiga, penelitian dapat meneliti bagaimana prinsip-prinsip keadilan dan akuntabilitas dalam Al-Quran dapat diterapkan dalam konteks hukum keluarga, khususnya dalam isu-isu seperti hak-hak perempuan dalam pernikahan, perceraian, dan warisan. Dengan menggali lebih dalam aspek-aspek ini, diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi signifikan dalam mempromosikan kesetaraan gender yang berkeadilan dan berkelanjutan dalam masyarakat Muslim.
