BETWEEN TRADITION AND TRANSFORMATION: THE INTELLECTUAL LEGACY OF ISLAMIC EDUCATION IN SHAPING WOMEN’S ROLES
Abstract
This study explores the critical role Islamic education plays in empowering women and advancing a more equitable and inclusive society. This research employs the literature study technique, which takes a systematic and comprehensive approach to literature analysis, to locate, collect, and evaluate literature sources relevant to the research question. The results of the study show that Islamic education supports gender equality and women's empowerment.
Women who have equal access to Islamic education can develop the skills, knowledge, and gender awareness needed to engage fully in society. However, there are significant problems that need to be fixed, such as financial challenges, patriarchal social norms, gender discrimination, and limited access.Additionally, it is imperative to continue pushing for reforms in Islamic education, elevating women's status in society, and removing barriers that prevent them from reaching their full potential.
