The author highlights how social structures, patriarchal culture, and masculine interpretations of religious texts contribute to gender inequality. By critically engaging with classical exegesis methods and considering the historical and ecological context of the Arabian Peninsula, this work demonstrates that the Qur’an fundamentally promotes justice, partnership, and equality between men and women. This book serves as a significant contribution to the development of Qur’anic interpretation that is responsive to contemporary social issues, especially gender equality, and provides an initial foundation for further research in building a more gender-sensitive exegesis.
