Gender In Islamic Views

In Islam - The word Gender comes from the English language meaning of gender.  Seen from that Gender differences are apparent or visible between men and women is viewed from the value and the vagaries of the Act. In its opening, Dzuhayatin Siti Ruhaini and explains that gender is a behavior differences between men and women who are socially differences i.e. the difference not the nature or creation of God but rather were created by men and women itself through social and cultural process.
Gender is generally views or beliefs that shaped the community about how should the nature of men and women. For example, men are often depicted has the soul of a leader, protector, head of household, rational, firm and so on. While women should ideally be cooking, good at taking care of themselves, gentle, or a belief that women are sensitive creatures, emotional, always wear a feeling. Briefly gender gender is made by the community. 



When discussing about gender is sure that will be the spotlight is about discrimination against women and the Suppression of their rights. The emergence of the injustices against women under the pretext of religion caused by the influence of history, culture and traditions of patriarkhi environment in society, sehinggga raises the properties and behaviors hereditary individually determine the status women and gender inequality. This gives rise to wrong myths are propagated through the values and the interpretation-interpretation of religious teachings through the mistaken about the superiority of men that weakens women.

The basic view of the top myths that cause injustice against women are:

1. The belief that women were created from the rib of a man, so that women assume that women as beings of the second when man does not exist then the women also do not exist. Due to the presence of women was considered only a complement and are always subject to male control over.
2. Convinced that women are the source of the problem the top expelled him man from heaven. So it can be said that women are the source of the plague.

Chronologically, the origin of human events are not described by the Qur'an. The story of the creation of man through the little-known Hadith, the story of israilliyat and history that are sourced from the Torah, the Gospel, and so on. The substance of the origins of Genesis Adam and Eve are also not discussed explicitly. Indeed there are cues that Adam was created from the land and then with the rib of Adam created Eve lah, but this gesture earned not through description of al Quran. Said Eve over this perceived as a woman who becomes the wife of Adam, as long as it was not mentioned in the Quran. Even the claim about the first man Adam was still covered by some circles.

Gender in Islam - in the Quran doesn't teach discrimination between men and women as human beings. Before the God of men and women had degrees and the same position. Therefore the views of women's position is already right angled appropriately modified, because the Qur'an has always been calling for Justice, security and peace of mind which is always give priority to the good and prevent crime. In surah al-Israa ' verse 70, meaning: "and verily we have noble right of the children of Adam, we carried them on land and sea, we provide them a sustenance of fine things we have a tendency to|and that we} discussion them with the benefits of the foremost beings we've created "(QS. Al-Isra ' [17]: 70)

That God has created men and women with the best and the most glorious position. Humans also created by having the sense, feeling, and receive instructions. Therefore the Qur'an knows no distinction between men and women, because in the presence of God is the same that distinguish between male and female is simply in terms of biological course.

Gender according to the Quran, according to Dr. Nasaruddin Umar in the journal of Islamic thought About women's empowerment (2002) there are some things that show that men and women are the same according to Islam, among which are:

• Men and women equally as a servant according to the QS. Al-Dzariyat [51]: 56. In the capacity as a servant of no difference between men and women. Both have the same potential opportunities to be in the presence of God in the Qur'an can be diistilah right as people are cautious. Achievement of the top most human ideal is not viewed upon his gender, as described in the QS. Al-Hujurat [49]: 13.
• Adam and Eve engaged actively in the cosmic drama, that is the story of Adam and Eve in paradise to get out to Earth, always emphasizing both actively, with the use of a pronoun for two people (huma), i.e. the pronoun for Adam and Eve.
• Men and women equally potentially maximum achievement, there is no distinction for both. Defined specifically in three verses, namely Ali Imran 195, Nisa ' al Nahl, and 124 97. The three of them hinted at the concept of equality between men and women.

God has created the physical form and character different physical shape between men and women. Men are given advantages by Allaah and exalted either physical or mental over women. But in Islam, God created all that in it there is his nature each. Qadar means Islamic thinkers in al Quran with measurements, properties that are set on God as everything, and it's called nature. Thus, men and women as individuals and sexes have his nature each. The lines of Mahmud Syaltut said that the mentality of humanity between men and women are different, but it is certain that Allah swt has the potential and ability of confers to women and vice versa.
