摘要

There are two competing approaches to understanding gender equality in the Qur’an, the textualist, and the progressive. The textual approach is predominantly propagated by male conservative ulama who are interested in maintaining and promoting patriarchal traditions and male domination. Textualists believe women’s roles are limited to those in the domestic sphere, hence marginalizing women from participating in the public sphere. This article investigates the way Indonesian progressive Muslim scholars explore the progressive approach to interpreting gender equality in the Qur’an. Through qualitative methods with an in-depth review of the primary literature and interviews with Indonesian progressive Muslim scholars, this article discusses efforts that have been made in promoting gender equality. These scholars believe there is a need for reform of religious thinking propagated by textualist Muslim scholars to transform social attitudes towards Indonesian women’s status in the private and public domains.
