Gender dalam Perspektif Islam

Dalam Alquran tidak ditemukan kata yang persis sepadan dengan istilah gender, namun jika yang dimaksud gender menyangkut perbedaan laki-laki dan perempuan secara non-biologis, meliputi perbedaan fungsi, peran, dan relasi antara keduanya maka dapat ditemukan sejumlah istilah untuk itu, seperti alrajul/al-rijal dan al-mar’ah/al-nisa’ serta al-dzakar dan al-untsa (Mubarak dan Faisol, 2006:50).

Dan Q. S. al-Nisa’ 4: 34 yang menyatakan “ kaum laki-laki itu pemimpin bagi kaum perempuan”, “Kaum laki-laki itu adalah pemimpin bagi kaum wanita, oleh karena Allah telah melebihkan sebahagian mereka (laki-laki) atas sebahagian yang lain (wanita), dan karena mereka (laki-laki) telah menafkahkan sebagian dari harta mereka.

Tidak ditemukan satu ayat pun yang menyatakan bahwa fungsi reproduksi sebagai sebab atau alasan mengapa perempuan harus menjadi subordinasi laki-laki. Jadi pengungkapan fungsi reproduksi tersebut tidak dimaksudkan untuk mendiskreditkan perempuan dari sektor publik (luar rumah). Hanya saja pengungkapan itu menjadi syarat bahwa laki-laki dan perempuan tidak mungkin disamakan secara total, karena jika demikian maka akhirnya akan merugikan salah satu dari keduanya (Harahap, 2018:737).

Al-Qur’an merincikan Prinsip-prinsip kesetaraan gender dalam Islam antara lain: mempersamakan kedudukan laki-laki dan perempuan sebagai hamba (‘abd) Allah dan sebagai wakil Allah di bumi (khalifah Allah fi al-ardh), keduanya diciptakan dari unsur yang sama, lalu terlibat dalam drama kosmis. Ketika Adam dan Hawa sama-sama bersalah yang menyebabkan jatuh kebumi. Keduanya berpotensi meraih prestasi di bumi, dan juga berpotensi untuk meraih ridho Allah di dunia dan akhirat (Mubarak dan Faisol, 2006:52).

Nasruddin Umar, mengemukakan prinsip-prinsip tentang kesetaraan gender , dengan mengangkat isu-isu perempuan yang memang menjadi agenda penting dalam islam. Prinsip-prinsip kesetaraan gender yang dikemukakan dalam al-Qur’an antara lain (Umar, 1999:252-254):

  1. laki-laki dan perempuan sama-sama sebagai hamba Allah. Dalam hal ini sesuai dengan firman Allah dalam (Q.S al-Dzariyat ayat 56).

وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْاِنْسَ اِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوْنِ

Tidaklah Aku menciptakan jin dan manusia kecuali untuk beribadah kepada-Ku”. Ayat ini menjelaskan bahwa tujuan utama penciptaan jin dan manusia adalah untuk menyembah, mengabdi, dan tunduk hanya kepada Allah SWT”.

Yang menjelaskan bahwa tidak ada perbedaan status atau derajat dalam posisi manusia sebagai hamba. Selanjutnya perempuan memiliki kesempatan dan kemampuan yang sama dengan laki-laki untuk menjadi hamba secara ideal sebagaimana dijelaskan dalam (Q.S al-Hujarat ayat 13).

يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اِنَّا خَلَقْنٰكُمْ مِّنْ ذَكَرٍ وَّاُنْثٰى وَجَعَلْنٰكُمْ شُعُوْبًا وَّقَبَاۤىِٕلَ لِتَعَارَفُوْاۚ اِنَّ اَكْرَمَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ اَتْقٰىكُمْۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلِيْمٌ خَبِيْرٌ

Wahai manusia, sesungguhnya Kami telah menciptakan kamu dari seorang laki-laki dan perempuan. Kemudian, Kami menjadikan kamu berbangsa-bangsa dan bersuku-suku agar kamu saling mengenal. Sesungguhnya yang paling mulia di antara kamu di sisi Allah adalah orang yang paling bertakwa. Sesungguhnya Allah Maha Mengetahui lagi Maha teliti”.

  • Laki-laki maupun perempuan diposisikan sebagai khalifah di bumi. Tujuan penciptaan manusia selain untuk beribadah kepada Allah juga untuk mengemban amanah sebagai khalifah. Istilah khalifah dalam Q.S. al-Baqarah ayat 30 tidak merujuk pada jenis kelamin atau etnis tertentu, melainkan mencakup seluruh manusia. Baik laki-laki maupun perempuan memiliki peran yang setara dalam menjalankan tugas kekhalifahan serta bertanggung jawab atas amanah tersebut di muka bumi (Umar 1999, 252).
  • laki-laki dan perempuan menerima perjanjian primordial. Laki-laki dan perempuan sama-sama mengemban amanah dan menerima perjanjian primordial dengan Tuhan. Menurut Fakhr al-Razi, tidak ada seorang pun anak manusia lahir di muka bumi ini yang tidak berikrar akan keberadaan Tuhan, dan ikrar mereka disaksikan oleh para malaikat sebagaimana disebutkan dalam Q.S, al-A’raf: 7: 172 (Umar 1999, 254).
  • Adam dan Hawa terlibat secara aktif dalam drama kosmis. Drama kosmis ini adalah drama yang menceritakan tentang Hawa dan Adam dimana keduanya sama-sama aktif dalam menikmati fasilitas surga, memperoleh derajat godaan yang sama dari setan, sama-sama makan buah khuldi dan menerima akibatnya, yakni dijatuhkan kebumi, sama-sama berdoa memohon ampun dan sama-sama diampuni dan sama-sama mengembangkan keturunan dan saling membutuhkan. Artinya Adam dan Hawa sama-sama aktif dalam drama tersebut tidak ada yang lebih tinggi derajatnya , benar, baik dan hina (Cholil 2013, 30–32).
  • laki-laki dan perempuan berpotensi meraih prestasi sebagai manusia. Peluang untuk meraih prestasi maksimum tidak ada perbedaan antara laki-laki dan perempuan, ditegaskan secara khusus didalam tiga ayat yaitu: Q. S, alu-Imran: 195, al-Nisa’: 124, al-Nahl: 97, Gafir:40. Ayat-ayat tersebut mengisyaratkan konsep kesetaraan gender yang ideal dan memberikan ketegasan, laki-laki dan perempuan memperoleh kesempatan yang sama meraih prestasi secara optimal (Umar 1999, 263–364).

  1. Felt like I was reading something written by someone who actually thinks about the topic rather than reciting it, and a look at quantumharbor reinforced that impression, the difference between recited content and considered content is huge and this site clearly belongs to the latter category which I appreciate as a careful reader looking for substance.

  2. Quietly the post solved something I had been turning over without quite knowing how to phrase the question, and a look at actionshapessuccess extended that quiet solving, content that addresses unformulated needs is content with reader insight and this site has demonstrated that insight at a high rate across the pieces I have read recently.

  3. Did not expect much when I clicked through but ended up reading the whole thing carefully, and a stop at digitalhaven kept that engagement going, sometimes the unassuming sites turn out to deliver more than the flashy ones which is something I have learned to look out for over time online lately and across topics.

  4. Better than most of the writing I have come across on this topic recently, simpler and more direct, and a look at progresswithsignal continued in that same way, a real outlier in a crowded space full of repetitive content that says little while taking up a lot of reader time today which is unfortunate.

  5. Worth a slow read rather than the fast scan I usually default to, and a look at buildclearoutcomes earned the same slower pace from me, content that resets my reading speed downward is content with substance worth absorbing and this site has produced that effect on me multiple times now over the last week here.

  6. Decent post that improved my afternoon a small amount, and a look at ideasneedalignment added a bit more to that, sometimes the small wins online add up over time and a useful site like this one is the kind of place that contributes consistently to those small wins for me lately across many different topics I follow.

  7. Really liked the calm tone running through the post, no shouting and no urgency forced into the writing, and a look at intentionalforwardenergy kept that quiet confidence going, the kind of voice that makes the reader feel respected rather than yelled at which is depressingly common across most modern blog content these days.

  8. A small thing but the line spacing and font choices made reading this physically pleasant, and a look at growththroughdesign maintained the same careful design, technical choices about typography are part of what makes online reading actually comfortable and this site has clearly invested in the design layer alongside the content layer carefully.

  9. Picked up on several small touches that suggest a careful editor, and a look at directionturnsideas suggested the same hand at work across the broader site, editorial consistency at a granular level is one of the strongest signs that an operation is serious rather than just hobbyist and this site reads as serious throughout.

  10. One of the more honest takes on the topic I have seen lately, no spin and no oversell, and a stop at comicnexus kept that going, the kind of voice the open web could use a lot more of rather than the endless echo chamber of recycled opinions floating around every social platform these days.

  11. Reading carefully here has reminded me what reading carefully feels like, and a look at latinovista extended that reminder, the experience of careful reading versus skimming is different in ways I had partially forgotten and this site has clearly refreshed my memory of what attention feels like when content rewards it consistently.

  12. A piece that reads like it was written for me without claiming to be written for me, and a look at profitnexus produced the same fit, when the writer audience match clicks naturally without being engineered through demographic targeting you know the writing is solid and this site has that natural fit consistently for me.

  14. Now thinking about whether the writer might publish a longer form work I would buy, and a look at greenharvest suggested the same depth would translate, content that makes me want to pay for related work in other formats is content that has earned commercial trust as well as attention trust and this site has both clearly.

  15. In the middle of an otherwise scattered day this post landed as a moment of focus, and a stop at digitalclicks extended that focused feeling across more pages, content that anchors a fragmented day rather than contributing to the fragmentation is content with real centring effect and this site is providing that anchoring function for me.

  16. My friends would appreciate a few of these posts and I will be sending links accordingly, and a look at momentumdesign added more pages to my share queue, content that earns shares to specific people in specific contexts is content with social utility and this site is generating those targeted shares from me consistently lately.

  17. Appreciated that the writer trusted the reader to follow along without constant restating of earlier points, and a look at growthfollowsfocus continued that respect for the reader, treating an audience as capable adults rather than as people to be hand held through every paragraph is something I notice and value highly across the open internet today.

  18. Picked this for my morning read because the topic seemed worth the time, and a look at nexoravision confirmed the choice was right, my morning reading slot is precious and giving it to this site felt like a good investment rather than a waste which is a higher endorsement than I usually offer for content.

  19. Felt this in a way I cannot quite explain, the topic just hit different here, and a stop at growthnavigationpath continued in that vein, sometimes you find a site whose perspective lines up with how you have been thinking and reading their work feels like a small relief which I appreciated more than I expected.

  20. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sensible take on this topic without the usual marketing nonsense, and a look at intentionalvelocity kept that grounded approach going, sites that stay focused on serving readers rather than monetising every click are rare and this is clearly one of those rare ones I really appreciate finding.

  21. Decided to write a short note to the author if there is contact info anywhere, and a stop at brightvertex extended that intention, the urge to thank the writer directly is a strong signal of content quality and this site has triggered that urge in me today which is a fairly rare event for my reading.

  22. Came in confused about the topic and left with a much firmer grasp on it, and after buildclearprogress I felt I could explain this to someone else without hesitation, that is the gold standard for any educational content and most sites simply fail to reach it ever which is unfortunate but true.

  23. Once you start reading carefully here it is hard to go back to lower quality alternatives, and a stop at progressengine reinforced that ratchet effect, the way good content raises standards is real over time and this site has clearly contributed to raising my expectations for what is possible in writing on the topic generally.

  24. Useful information presented in a way that does not feel like a sales pitch, that is what I appreciated most, and a stop at velvettress was the same, no upsell and no fake urgency just steady content laid out properly for someone trying to actually learn from it rather than just be sold to.

  25. Pass this along to anyone you know dealing with similar questions, the answers here are clear, and a stop at growthpilothub adds even more useful material, this is the kind of resource that deserves to circulate widely rather than getting lost in the constant churn of new content online that buries good work daily.

  26. A piece that left me thinking I had been undercaring about the topic, and a look at clarityturnsideas reinforced that mild concern, content that raises the appropriate weight of a subject without being preachy about it is doing important work and this site is providing that gentle elevation of attention for me consistently.

  27. Decided to read this site for a while before forming a verdict, and the verdict after several pages is positive, and a stop at growthwithoutfriction continued that pattern, judging a site requires more than one post and giving sites a fair sample is something I try to do for promising candidates rather than rushing to dismiss.

  28. Excellent post, balanced and well organised without showing off, and a stop at urbanmarket continued in that same vein, this site has clearly figured out the formula for content that works for readers rather than for search engine ranking signals which is harder than it sounds today and worth real recognition from anyone.

  29. A piece that did exactly what it promised in the headline without overshooting or underdelivering, and a look at vibrantstage continued that calibration, alignment between promise and delivery is a basic editorial virtue that many sites fail at and this site has clearly mastered the matching of expectation and substance throughout pieces.

  32. Solid endorsement from me, the writing earns it, and a look at actionclaritylab continues to earn it across the broader site too, the kind of operation that maintains quality across many pages rather than just one viral post is a sign of serious commitment and that is what I see here clearly across what I read.
