This paper stimulated by the fact that Muslim women participation in education in Indonesia is still lower than in neighbouring countries. This condition has been influenced by the weak support of Hadith Curriculum of Madrasah Aliyah toward gender equity. This condition has been miss understood by some scholars that Hadith does not support gender equity. The aims of this paper are to give a clear picture of gender equity in Hadith literature and analyse the content of Hadith Curriculum of Madrasah Aliyah in Indonesia in relation to gender equity support. Data were gained through Hadith literature and Hadith Curriculum of Madrasah Aliyah Year 2013. This study revealed that Hadith strongly support gender equity in all spects of life achieved as in economic, social, and political aspects. In addition, Hadith Curriculum of Madrasah Aliyah does not strongly support the emergence of strong and positive thinking toward gender equity among the students of Madrasah Aliyah who most of them then becoming religious leaders in Indonesian society. The implication of this finding requires us to make changes in the content structure of the Curriculum of Hadith for Madrasah Aliyah in Indonesia.

Do So

Muslim women scholars and activists such as Amina Wadud and Asma Barlas argue that the Qur’an evinces gender equity. They do so by suggesting that verses in the Qur’an that are often viewed to be problematic from a feminist perspective need to be re-examined through different hermeneutical lenses than those traditionally employed by interpreters of the Qur’an. This article examines some of the verses in question, explores the hermeneutical approaches suggested by these women scholars, and poses some questions about the prospects for a distinctively Islamic feminist scriptural interpretation.

AbstractI describe here a nascent ‘Islamic feminist’ movement in India, dedicated to the goal of achieving gender equity under Muslim Personal Law. In justifying their demands, these women activists refer neither to the Indian Constitution nor to the universalistic human rights principles that guide secular feminists campaigning for passage of a gender-neutral uniform civil code of personal law, but rather to the authority of the Qur'an—which, they claim, grants Muslim women numerous rights that in practice are routinely denied them. They accuse the male ‘ulamaof foisting ‘patriarchal’ interpretations of the Qur'an on the unlettered Muslim masses and assert their right to read the Qur'an for themselves and interpret it in a woman-friendly way. Their activities reflect an increasing ‘fragmentation of religious authority’ in the globalizing Muslim world, associated with the spread of mass education, new forms of media and transport and a mobile labour force, in which clerical claims to exclusive authoritative knowledge are being questioned by a wide variety of new voices, women's among them. Whether it can ultimately succeed is an open question but the movement is clearly having an impact, even on the clerical establishment itself, insofar as the legal issues it considers most pressing for women are concerned.

Special Meaning

The obligation of preaching is essential for all the Muslim that is appropriated by the capability and proficiency every Muslim because the meaning of religious preacher generally is every Muslim or Muslim women of Mukallaf, the obligation attaches and does not separate from the mission as the Muslim. Moreover, for special meaning are they taking special proficiency (mutakhassis) in Islam religion recognized as Islamic teacher. Then, in conveying the preaching, the religious preacher wants the preaching material that was message conveyed by the religious preacher to mad’u that includes the truth and kindness for the people that source from al-Quran and Prophet Muhammad (Hadis) covered faith, Islamic law, and behavior with kinds of knowledge that achieved by him. Nevertheless, in conveying the preaching material, a religious preacher must determine the media to be used; it is able in oral, written, portrayal, audio visual and behavior. The awareness will be importance of media of preaching in conveying the preaching material to get the preaching’s goal. So that, many religious teachers have taken advantage the media of television as the facility in distributing the preaching. One of the religious teachers is Jefri al-Bukhori. He introduces as massive message of preaching in Rabbani generation through television. The Rabbani generation is the generation who believes and Islamic theology, and between of those trusting in God, patience, and positive thinking. To get this matter, it is needed the role and active parents and family’s role to be always train, giving guiding and presenting the environment for the children that always full of Islamic condition

This paper explores the influence of religion in cultural hybridization processes linked to migratory experience, taking into account the study of mass media consumption. Our research focused on the analysis of Muslim women from northern Africa living in Catalonia (Spain) over a 5-year period. The final sample was composed of 25 women, from Morocco (22), Tunisia (2) and Algeria (1).The main conclusions of our qualitative research are that the influence of Islam is much more evident as culture than as dogma and, in line with this, the presence of segregationist media consumption is minimal (in 4 of the 25 interviewed). Internet and television consumption is dominant, but there is a significant generation gap. Whereas internet consumption is mostly among the young, television is more present among women over the age of 36. With regards to internet content, there is serious concern about the presence of religious leaders who, under the guise of a modern appearance, spread a vision of Islam in fundamentalist terms. Much of the sample interviewed fears its power of influence. In digital social networks, Muslim women tend to share religious information, but, for safety reasons, they do so within closed groups.

Religious Actors

With some notably rare exceptions, the literature on religion and peacebuilding has predominantly focused on men as religious actors, leaving the works of female religious actors in the shadows. This research focuses on a group of female religious actors in Afghanistan, their aspirations, and modes of working to build peace in their country. The research draws on structured interviews with 20 female members of a network of religious actors working for peace. In addition, quantitative data on activities carried out by those women and other network members has been employed to contextualise and improve the validity of findings. By examining the experiences and perceptions of these female religious leaders, the article illustrates the importance of religious literacy for Muslim women working for peace in Afghanistan. This research shows that such literacy facilitates social acceptance: it enables women to maximise the impact of the gendered peacebuilding spaces they have and, more importantly, to enlarge those spaces and create opportunities for conflict transformation.

Objectives: The paper examined the position of women participation in NLC of Northern and the Southern regions and explored the mechanisms NLC put in place to empower women in the Northern and Southern regions of Nigeria. Methodology: This paper is qualitative in nature. Data were obtained through the primary and secondary source of data collection. Contrast analysis approach was employed in comparing the position of women participation and empowerment in the NLC of the Northern and Southern regions of Nigeria. All data acquired were thematically analyzed using MAXQDA Software Version 2018. Research Design: This paper is a Case study because it provides the researcher with an in-depth understanding of the social phenomenon. Theories: Empowerment theory and the liberal feminist theory were used to explain the topic under study. This is because the postulations of these theories centered on equality between both genders in all societies. Result: The study found that the position of women participation and empowerment in the NLC of the Northern region of Nigeria is low, because of patriarchal nature of the region, compared to the position of women participation and empowerment in NLC of the Southern region. It further added that women participation in the NLC of both regions is strong and healthy development.   Implication: The paper recommended that women should be empowered educationally and allowed to hold managerial positions. It, in addition, suggested that parents and religious leaders should advise women from religious and parental points of view to participate actively in NLC of both regions.

Women Rights

This study enumerates Islamic laws regarding women rights throughout the extent of Quran and Hadith in the principal origins of Islam. It highlights toward gender equity and women rights. Islamic principles consistently accord with nature of man and woman and think about their intrinsic contrasts. Islam has ensured people (both men and women) human rights and obligations associated with them as people in an equivalent degree. What Islam ensures usually not get conveyed into solid actions because of dominant communal and ethnic standards and in context of social and cultural relations. The basic estimations of Islam ostensibly advance and respect the status of women in the public eye. Islam gave freedom to Muslim women by allowing them equivalent rights as similar to their male partners, as demonstrated by the Prophet Mohammad ??? ???? ???? ???? (PHUH) [women are identical parts orsisters in relation to men]. Numerous adamant translations of Islamic messages and practices of a larger number of Muslim societies unfortunately disagree the primary origin of women rights as well as gender equalities. Besides, it is falsly realized that Muslim females particularly are in retrograte position and are also mistreated by religion Islam as compare to non-Muslim women who are observed as liberated, modernized and forward. Thusly, this article focuses to distinguish how religion Islam has provided women their rights, liberty, equality and respect.
