Women’s rights are mostly experiencing pressures and obstacles from all sides (groups) which are still influenced by patriarchal culture. In fact, Islam has devoted proportional rights to women such as political right, socio-ecomic rights, educational right as well as cultural right. However, their rights are sometimes  socially overlooked for the religious reasons. On the contrary, that phenomenon is generated from the interpretation which is influenced by the interpreter’s conditional and situational background. The most indisputable issue in recent situation is the illegibility of woman being a leader that she cannot be for any political positions. Therefore, it is necessary to do structural transformation and quality and  capacity development in the same time. It is also one of effort that we need more humanistic interpretation of the Qur’an toward women.

This article strives for elaborating Thoifur Ali Wafa’s thoughts and his views on women’s rights in his Firdaws al-Na‘īm bi Tawḍīḥ Ma‘ānī Āyāt al-Qur’ān al-Karīm. His work discusses Qur’anic verses, which deals with women and their rights. Considering that Thoifur has been a Muslim scholar who born and live in Sumenep Madura whose people believe in superiority of men upon women, the issue is then undeniably interesting to discuss. It seems that Thoifur, through his work, attempts to reveal religious understanding which tends to be gender biased. He insists to obliterate patriarchal culture and discrimination against women as a result of irresponsibly fault social construction to the understanding of religious texts. Based on his interpretation of verse 21 surah al-Rūm, verse 232 surah al-Baqarah, verse 195 surah Āl ‘Imrān, verse 38 surah al-Mā’idah, verse 34 surah al-Nisā’, verse 187 surah al-Baqarah, verse 228 surah al-Baqarah, verse 19 surah al-Nisā’, verse 229 surah al-Baqarah, verse 36 surah al-Nisā’, verse 15 surah al-Aḥqāf, verse 71 surah al-Tawbah, verse 12 surah al-Mumtaḥanah, and verse 34 surah al-Nisā’, Thoifur argues that women possess a number of rights within both domestic and public spheres.

Women’s life without oppression, suppression and discrimination is the claim of women’s rights. Women are subjected to discrimination or violence at various phases of life, by rules and cultures. Unfortunately, female discrimination and oppression are rooted in the cultures of male-dominated societies. Gender discrimination is the practice of denying or granting privilege or rights to someone according to her/his gender, and such practice is acceptable to both; in such societies with such practices and traditions, women’s mission for liberating themselves is seen to be impossible because they have to challenge longstanding customs and traditions of people. This study shed light on the practices of oppression, gender discrimination that women encounter from infancy to adulthood, from childhood to womanhood, as portrayed in Orhan Pamuk’s Snow and Nawal El Saadawi’s Women at Point Zero, as well as the various ways of resistance depending on the cultural differences.

In Snow, women many problems related to their religious norms. The women’s discrimination is because of using headscarves; Kadhife, the female character, is sketched as a woman who attempts to have her right to support and defend women’s rights in her place, Kars, and to retain wearing headscarves.

The majority of Palestinian women are seldom seen or heard in public. They have strong voices and strong minds, but the patriarchal culture requires them to keep their opinions and experiences within the family. A strong culture of silence hides most of the daily life and struggle of Palestinian women. As in all societies, however, there are exceptions: strong and brave women who have made remarkable careers, both in politics and society. This chapter tells the stories of three of these women. It also discusses several Palestinian organizations that work actively to support women's rights and improve their situation. They deal with everything from charity to education and empowerment of women, as well as research, advocacy, and lobbying for women's rights.
