MENGGUGAT SYIRIK INTELEKTUAL BERSAMA NASR HÂMID ABÛ ZAYD DAN AMINA WADUD
Abstract: The article
discusses gender issue which has still become a global discourse within 21st
century. The discourse will always become an actual issue as it constantly
emerges from women and community’s consciousness who find strategic discrepancy
and injustice, in regard with the relation between men and women, in which they
might lead to relational discrimination, subordination, stereotype, and
inequality. The writer, at this point, attempts to bring about comparative
analysis between two interpretation paradigms on gender issue promulgated by
Nasr Hâmid Abû Zayd and Amina Wadud. Both people share a common academic
apprehension when they observe backwardness of the Muslim women in many aspects
of life (as a fully human agency) caused by patriarchy tradition, gender
injustice, and problem of minority in the Muslim world. This has subsequently
caused the two authors to reconstruct methodological paradigm of Quranic
exegesis on gender issue in order to generate a just interpretation. They see
the importance of having high social consciousness which properly considers
women’s existence based on sacred values of humanity. However, this view faces
obstacles from other Muslim scholars as they consider Zayd and Wadud heretics
and have conducted what so-called “an intellectual shirk”.
