Abstract
The importance of the Qur’an as the primary legal source in Islam in inevitable among Muslims. Previous and present scholars have discussed the study of Qur’an in various fields, and many efforts have been done to understand its content from multiple languages. In addition, the tafsir or Qur’anic exegesis is another important branch which contributes a lot in understanding the Qur’an. However, it has been long debated that the Qur’anic exegesis were dominated by men since the seventh century. Due to the challenge debated by the feminists, women began to involve in questioning males’ interpretation and gradually producing their own interpretation by affirming the concept of ‘women-friendly’. Therefore, this study aims to analyse their arguments and to discover the contribution of women in the Qur’anic exegesis from the nineteenth century to the present days. By applying qualitative method, the finding from this study will re-evaluate the importance of women and their involvements in the Qur’anic exegesis from historical and textual aspects. It is vital to highlight that the main responsibility to understand the Qur’an and apply its content in daily life should not be determined by gender, but it lies within an individual’s obligation.
