One of the most difficult tasks of specialists devoted to the study of medieval Islamic societies is to reconstruct the historical role of women. The patriarchal interpretation of Islamic scriptural sources by largely male Muslim chroniclers, as well as the masculine nature of Arabic historiography, produced by and for men, determined the relegation of women to the background in both history and society. As a consequence, the presence of women was usually veiled in the chronicles, due to the exacerbated respect towards their identities stipulated by Muslim sacred texts, which recommended preserving women within the private area of society. However, some authors went beyond these conventions and offered interesting data concerning the women of the dynasty that they served. This was the case of Ibn al-Khaṭīb, whose work is unique and fundamental to our knowledge of the female sultans of the Alhambra and the particularities of the Nasrid harem, as we will prove throughout this paper.

Dalam masyarakat agama akan selalu terjadi perdebatan antara kelompok yang bertahan dengan teks sebagaimana adanya dengan pihak-pihak yang mencoba membaca teks dalam konteks dan membuatnya selaras dengan perkembangan paradigma baru dalam kehidupan kekinian. Salah satu topik yang merefleksikan fenomena di atas adalah ketika wacana gender yang adalah problematika kehidupan cosmopolitan modern dihadapkan dengan teks-teks suci yang telah berusia berabad-abad yang lalu.

Dalam artikel ini akan ditemukan secara jelas bahwa Konsep relasi gender di dalam Alquran merefleksikan dua kesan yang berbeda secara theologies dan sosiologis.   In religious societies there will always be debates between groups that persist with the text as it is with parties who try to read the text in context and make it in harmony with the development of new paradigms in contemporary life. One topic that reflects the above phenomenon is when gender discourse is a problem of modern cosmopolitan life confronted with sacred texts that have been centuries old. It is not surprising then that serious debate ensues about the ability of religious communities to respond to this gender issue. This article seeks to express the study of modern Islam by studying a new app roach that is popular with the term gender approach in analyzing the verses and traditions of the prophet and legal istinbat especially in describing the position and role of women and their relationship with men . In this article it will be clearly found that the concept of gender relations in the Koran reflects two different theological and sociological impressions.

Role Of Women

This article examines the role of women in raising criminal actions of homicide before the central criminal court, in early modern Scotland. In doing so, it highlights the two main forms of standing women held; pursing an action for homicide alone and as part of a wider group of kin and family. The evidence presented therein challenges our current understanding of the role of women in the pursuit of crime and contributes to an under-researched area of Scots criminal legal history, gender and the law.
