ARE MEN AND WOMEN EQUAL IN ISLAM? by Adibah Binti Muhtar
Allah the al-Mighthy says in the Qur’an: “ and for women are rights over men similar to those of men over women”. (al-Baqarah:228)
Of late, there is a rise in the intensity of the call for equality between men and women. There are also an increasing number of fingers pointed at the Islamic legislation and law pertaining to women, claiming that the Muslim women are oppressed, discriminated against and subjugated by their male counterparts, and alleging that the Islamic family law is bias towards women. Some of the Muslim feminists, in particular, go far beyond the limit by attempting to re-interpret, re-reading the Qur’an and reconstruct Shari’ah. The main question to be answered, what is the real concept of gender equality in Islam?

Women Emancipation in the 21 st Century: Islam as the Model of Struggle By: Prof Madya Dr. Zaleha Kamaruddin and Puan Raihanah Abdullah
Introduction With new developments in the era of globalization, women are caught between today's need as career women and fulfilling 'traditional responsibilities' as a child, wife and mother. Women nowadays need to be 'superwoman' to confront the challenges of the new millennium. They have to face a varieties of complex problem. Most of the latest writings related to women issues are written by Western feminist. Women emancipation activists are committed to the feminist ideologies that are mostly dependent on logical thinking and local state of affairs. They fight for justice against cruelty, which occurred due to the belief system surrounding their life and worked hard, to uphold justice in the system, which was already weak. Some found their way out, which turned out to be difficult, by setting up a new belief system with new values. Unfortunately, some of our own small group of women's activists were also involved in the same struggle without realizing the difference in socio-cultural background and system in the country. Some even regarded men as the main cause of the weaknesses of the system.
The main questions that arise are; Does the emancipation movement occur in accordance to the Islamic requirements? Are the demands for women's rights due to the justice denied or are they merely imitating the Western emancipation movement?

Tanggapan Atas Tulisan Abu Zayd Tentang al-Syafi'i Imam Syafi‘i (150-204 H) dalam ranah pemikiran Islam merupakan sosok yang sangat disegani dan dibanggakan. Bukunya yang cukup fenomenal, al-Risâlah, merupakan buku yang sentiasa menjadi rujukan dari generasi ke generasi. Sehingga tidak heran jika imam al-Muzani – murid sekaligus sahabatnya – menyatakan: “Ini adalah buku al-Risalah karya al-Syafi‘i. Cukuplah al-Syafi‘i sebagai satu pujian bahwa dia adalah al-Syafi‘i. Cukuplah buku al-Risâlah menjadi satu pujian (sanjungan) bahwa ia merupakan ‘buah pena’ al-Syafi‘i. Cukuplah sebagai satu kebanggaan bagiku untuk menyebarkan ilmu al-Syafi‘i. Padahal mereka tahu bahwa ia – al-Syafi‘i – melarang manusia untuk taklid kepadanya dan kepada selainnya.” [1] Dalam nada yang sama, Ahmad Muhammad Syakir menyatakan, “Jika seorang alim boleh bertaklid kepada seorang alim – lainnya – maka orang yang paling layak untuk ditaklid menurutku adalah Syafi‘i. [2]Apa yang dijelaskan oleh al-Muzani maupun Ahmad Muhammad Syakir bukan hanya ‘isapan jempol belaka’. Hal itu merupakan fakta historis yang tidak dapat dibantah. Pandangan dan pemikiran imam Syafi‘i dalam ranah Al-Qur’an, Fikih, dan hadits memberikan kontribusi yang sangat agung. Bukti konkret dari itu semua adalah al-Risâlah, yang menjadi pedoman bagi generasi setelahnya. Ia seolah-olah menjadi ‘misi keilmuan’ yang harus dirujuk setiap saat, bagi mereka yang ‘haus’ akan metodologi ilmiah dalam pemikiran Islam. Dalam Ushul Fiqh, imam Syafi‘i melampaui kemampuan para ulama sebelumnya. Sehingga, Fakhr al-Din al-Razi menyatakan, “Penisbatan al-Syafi‘i terhadap ilmu Ushul, seperti penisbatan Aristoteles kepada ilmu logika dan seperti penisbatan al-Khalil ibn Ahmad kepada ilmu ‘arudh (sajak atau syair).” [3]

Today's anti-Muslim racism uncannily echoes earlier anti-semitism - both minorities abused as an alien security threat
Maleiha Malik
Friday February 2, 2007
The Guardian
Migrants fleeing persecution and poverty settled with their children in the East End of London. As believers in one God they were devoted to their holy book, which contained strict religious laws, harsh penalties and gender inequality. Some of them established separate religious courts. The men wore dark clothes and had long beards; some women covered their hair. A royal commission warned of the grave dangers of self-segregation. Politicians said different religious dress was a sign of separation. Some migrants were members of extremist political groups. Others actively organised to overthrow the established western political order. Campaigners against the migrants carefully framed their arguments as objections to "alien extremists" and not to a race or religion. A British cabinet minister said we were facing a clash about civilisation: this was about values; a battle between progress and "arrested development".
All this happened a hundred years ago to Jewish migrants seeking asylum in Britain. The political movements with which they were closely associated were anarchism and later Bolshevism. As in the case of contemporary political violence, or even the radical Islamism supported by a minority of British Muslims, anarchism and Bolshevism only commanded minority support among the Jewish community. But shared countries of origin and a common ethnic and religious background were enough to create a racialised discourse whenever there were anarchist outrages in London in the early 20th century.
