ISLAM'S VIEW ON GENDER QUESTIONS

Abstract

Gender thinking since 2000 has been continuously publicized through various media and thought channels. Muslim scholars who were influenced by these ideas also participated in defending and even actively voicing them. The Western feminist movement that drives the idea of ​​gender equality has succeeded in influencing a number of Muslim activists and Muslim women in the Islamic world. This thinking questions the texts of the Qur'an and Hadith as well as the opinions of the scholars who are seen as discriminating against women. Centuries of Western experience of placing women in a low position are tried to portray women in Islam. This research tries to reveal how the west views women and how Islam views them. The method used in this discussion is descriptive qualitative. While the results, women in Islam do not have a dark history as in the West. On the contrary, the concept of Islam places women in a position that is in accordance with their characteristics and specifics.
