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).

  2. Felt the post handled a sensitive angle of the topic with appropriate care, and a look at discountnexus extended that careful handling across related material, sites that can navigate delicate territory without causing damage are rare and require a level of judgement that comes from experience rather than from following any clear playbook.

  3. Now planning to write about the topic myself eventually using this post as a reference, and a look at purposehaven would also serve in that future piece, content that becomes raw material for my own writing rather than just informing my reading is content with multiplicative value and this site is generating that multiplicative effect.

  4. Really like that the writer trusts the reader to follow simple logic without restating every previous point, and a stop at sweatertorso kept that respect going, treating an audience as capable adults rather than as people who need constant hand holding makes a noticeable difference in the reading experience for me.

  5. During a quiet evening reading session this provided just the right depth without being heavy, and a stop at merrynights maintained the same evening appropriate weight, content with depth that does not exhaust the reader is content with editorial calibration and this site has clearly figured out how to be substantial without being demanding all the time.

  6. Skipped the related products section because there was none, and a stop at topicnexus also lacked any aggressive monetisation, content that is not constantly trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and that confidence shows up as a different reading experience.

  7. Adding this to my list of go to references for the topic, and a stop at cozyhomestead confirmed the rest of the site deserves the same, definitely the kind of resource that earns its place rather than getting forgotten the moment the next interesting article shows up in my feed somewhere else on the web.

  8. Honestly the simplicity is what makes this work, the topic is not buried under filler words or overly complex examples, and a quick look at radianttouch showed the same sensible style, I left with what I came for and no headache from over reading which is a real win these days.

  9. Liked the careful selection of which details to include and which to skip, and a stop at trendoutlet reflected the same editorial judgement, knowing what to leave out is just as important as knowing what to include and this site has clearly figured out where that line sits for the topics it covers regularly.

  10. The clarity here is something I really appreciate, especially compared to sites that pile on jargon for no reason, and a look at modernvertex was the same, simple direct sentences that actually deliver information instead of dancing around the point for paragraphs at a time which wastes reader patience.

  11. Decided to read this site for a while before forming a verdict, and the verdict after several pages is positive, and a stop at artistnexus 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.

  12. Picked this for my morning read because the topic seemed worth the time, and a look at trillsaddle 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.

  13. Speaking as someone who used to recommend blogs frequently and got out of the habit this site is rekindling that impulse, and a look at digitalgrove extended the rekindling, the recovery of an old habit triggered by encountering work that justifies it is itself a small kind of pleasure and this site is providing that recovery experience.

  14. Really nice to see things explained without overcomplicating the topic, the words flow naturally and stay easy to follow, and a short visit to guidancehubpro only added to that experience because the same simple approach is used across the rest of the page too without any change in tone.

  15. Picked up something useful for a side project, and a look at quietvoyage added another piece I will incorporate, content that connects to specific projects I am working on is content with practical utility and the practical utility of this site is showing up across multiple posts I have read in the last hour or so.

  16. Liked that the post landed without needing to manufacture controversy or take a contrarian stance for attention, and a stop at socialflare continued that grounded approach, content that earns attention through quality rather than provocation is the kind that builds long term trust rather than burning it on quick wins.

  17. Reading this back to back with a similar piece elsewhere made the quality difference obvious, and a stop at supportnexus only widened the gap, comparing content side by side is a useful exercise and the gap between this site and average competitors in the space is large enough to be noticeable from the first paragraph.

  18. If I had to summarise the editorial sensibility of this site in a few words it would be careful and human, and a look at unityharbor extended that summary feeling, capturing the essence of a sites approach in brief is hard but this site has a clear enough identity that the summary comes naturally enough.

  19. Really appreciate the confidence to make a clear point rather than hedging everything, and a quick visit to businessnova maintained the same direct stance, writing that takes positions rather than equivocating is more useful even when the positions are debatable because at least the reader has something to react to clearly.

  20. Once you start reading carefully here it is hard to go back to lower quality alternatives, and a stop at humorvertex 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.

  21. Adding this to my list of go to references for the topic, and a stop at silverpathhub confirmed the rest of the site deserves the same, definitely the kind of resource that earns its place rather than getting forgotten the moment the next interesting article shows up in my feed somewhere else on the web.

  22. Good quality through and through, no rough edges and no signs of being rushed, and a quick look at cocktailnexus kept the same polish going, the kind of site that respects its own brand by maintaining consistency across pages which is something I always appreciate as a reader looking for trustworthy information online today.

  23. Really clear writing, the kind that makes you want to share the link with someone who has been asking about the topic, and a quick browse through brightportal only made me more sure of that, the information here stays useful long after the first read is done which says a lot.

  24. Genuinely useful read, the points are practical and easy to apply right away, and a quick look at modernlivinghub confirmed that this site is consistent in that approach, looking forward to digging through the rest of it when I get the chance to sit down properly later in the week or this weekend.

  25. Worth every minute of the time spent reading, and a stop at modernupdate extends that value across more pages, in a media environment where most content is engineered to waste attention this site stands out by treating reader time as something valuable rather than something to be exploited and stretched as far as possible.

  26. Reading this in a quiet hour and finding it suited the quiet, and a stop at tattooharbor extended the quiet reading mood, content that matches its own optimal reading conditions rather than fighting them is content that has been thoughtfully calibrated and this site reads as having a particular reading mood in mind throughout.

  27. Bookmark earned and folder updated to track this site separately, and a look at connectnexus confirmed the folder upgrade was the right call, organising my reading list so that good sites do not get lost in a sea of casual bookmarks is something I do more carefully now and this site warranted its own spot.

  28. Stayed longer than planned because each section earned the next, and a look at uniquevoyager kept that pulling effect going across more pages, the kind of subtle pull that good writing exerts on attention is something I find harder and harder to resist when I encounter it on the open web today.

  29. Now noticing the careful balance the post struck between confidence and humility, and a stop at parcelvoyager maintained the same balance, finding the line between asserting and admitting is hard and this site has clearly developed the calibration to walk that line consistently which produces a more persuasive reading experience for me.

  30. Quietly enjoying that I have found a new site to follow for the topic, and a look at pixelharborhub reinforced the small pleasure of the find, the discovery of new high quality sources is one of the more durable pleasures of careful internet reading and this site has been generating that discovery pleasure at multiple points already today.

  31. A clear case of writing that does not try to do too much in one post, and a look at urbanwellness maintained the same scoped discipline, posts that try to cover too much end up covering nothing well and this site has clearly chosen scope discipline as a core editorial principle which shows up clearly in what I read.

  32. Just want to say thank you for putting this together, posts like these make searching online actually worth it sometimes, and a quick look at glamourbrush kept that going, useful and easy to read without any of the tricks that ruin most blog comment sections lately on the wider open web.

  33. Reading this prompted me to subscribe to my first newsletter in months, and a stop at masterynexus confirmed the subscribe was the right call, content that earns a newsletter signup is content that has cleared a higher trust bar than a casual visit and this site has clearly earned that level of commitment from me.

  34. Felt the writer respected me as a reader without making a show of doing so, and a look at cosmicvertex continued that quiet respect, this is the kind of small but meaningful detail that separates the sites I bookmark from the ones I close after a single skim and never return to again no matter how interesting the headline.

  35. Worth bookmarking and sharing with anyone interested in the topic, that is my honest take, and a stop at joyfulnexus reinforces that, the kind of generous resource that makes the open web feel worth defending against the constant pressure to retreat into walled gardens and curated feeds today everywhere I look across all my devices.

  36. Found the writing surprisingly fresh for what is by now a well covered topic, and a stop at trendrocket kept that freshness going across the related pages, original perspective on familiar ground is hard to come by and this site has clearly earned its place in the conversation rather than just rehashing old ideas.

  37. Honestly this kind of writing is why I still bother to read independent sites, and a look at deliverynexus extended that broader reflection, the few sites that justify continued attention to non algorithmic content are sites like this one and finding them periodically is enough to keep my reading habits oriented toward independent rather than aggregated content.

  38. Liked that the post left some questions open rather than pretending to settle everything, and a stop at clarityleadsaction continued that intellectual honesty, content that respects the limits of its own claims is more trustworthy than content that overreaches and this site has clearly figured out which positions it can defend confidently.

  39. Now considering writing a longer note about the post somewhere, and a look at focusconstructor added more material for that note, content that prompts me to write rather than just consume is content with generative energy and this site is producing that generative effect for me at a higher rate than most sources.

  40. Reading this prompted a brief but useful conversation with a colleague who happened to walk by, and a stop at buildgrowthsystems extended that conversational seed, content that becomes a starting point for in person discussion rather than ending in solitary reading is content with social generative energy and this site has plenty of it apparently.

  41. Excellent execution from start to finish, the post never loses its rhythm and the points stay sharp, and a quick stop at stellarpath kept the same level going, consistency like this across a site is the marker of a serious operation rather than a casual side project running on autopilot somewhere else.

  42. Closed it feeling slightly more competent in the topic than I started, and a stop at nexusharbor reinforced that competence boost, real learning is rare in casual online reading but it does happen sometimes and this site managed to make it happen for me today which is genuinely worth pausing to acknowledge.

  43. Reading this gave me something to think about for the rest of the afternoon, and after progressmapping I had even more to mull over, the kind of post that lingers in the background of your day rather than evaporating immediately is genuinely valuable in an attention economy that punishes depth rather than rewarding it.

  44. Now wishing more sites covered topics with this level of care, and a look at digitalnexushub extended that wish across more subjects, the rarity of careful coverage on most topics is a problem and this site is one of the small antidotes to that broader pattern of casual or surface treatment of complex subjects.
