Abstract

Gender equality is a significant issue affecting all countries and religions worldwide. Nonetheless, gender discrimination remains become commonplace. One of the reasons for this is the continued veneration of patriarchy, which places men more dominant than women in the social structure. This discrimination became even more pronounced, After the Covid-19 pandemic struck nearly all regions in the world pandemic and affected all aspects of human life, including economics and politics. Various narratives were created to empower patriarchal culture, including religious perspectives. Several Qur’anic verses are cited as affirmation that Islam appears to support gender discrimination, along with the paradigm of certain people who state that the pandemic is God’s confirmation to restrict the role of women. Therefore, this paper specifically examined and analysed the concept of gender equality in Islam, particularly in the economic and political space, based on Nasaruddin Umar’s perspective. What is the proper relationship between men and women according to the Qur’an? Are the interpretations that appear to discredit women still relevant for viewing the current reality? The writer employed qualitative research methods and collected data from library research, books and journals. The study’s findings indicated that; First, the Qur’an views the relationship between men and women in terms of equality, justice, and harmony (mawaddah warahmah). Suppose there is a difference; however, it is not intended to discredit one party as a sign that the two will not be totally equated. Second, fundamentally there are verses of the Qur’an that have the potential to be interpreted generally. However, when the results are harmful to one party, a re-reading is required since it is not appropriate to use these verses to perpetuate the patriarchal culture.
