This study aims to explain how power-knowledge relations operate in a book, Tafsir Al-Qur'an Tematik, especially in constructing gender equality. The study finds that powerknowledge relations flow in the Tafsir Al-Qur'an Tematik. The power relations operate in a dialectical and productive manner in compiling the tafsir. The mufassir not only try to explain the book of the Qur'an alone, but also attempt to construct the life of the people to be in line with the Government agenda. The mufassir does attempt to construct an equal relationship between men and women, but the construction is not wholly objective and neutral as it still leaves a more discriminatory effect prioritizing men in the public domain and women in the domestic sphere. These power-knowledge relations operate systematically by controlling power relations with truth so as to give rise to more equitable constructions directed to regulate the lives of people on behalf of increased productivity.
