“…14 Islamic feminism in Indonesia is indebted to work by Islamic feminists in the Middle East and North America, particularly by Mernissi, Hassan and Wadud. Intensive discussions concerning women, gender and Islam began in the 1990s (Van Doorn-Harder 2006;Robinson 2006;Syamsiyatun, 2008;Nurmila, 2011). 15 Robinson (2006Robinson ( , 2009 mentions that in the 1990s many Indonesian Islamic scholars began to refer to the works of the international Islamic feminists mentioned above to support their cause.…”

Muslim feminist hermeneutical methods to the Qur'an is a response to the conservative interpretations which hegemonizes knowledge construction to shape the tradition and the methodology of the patriarchal reading of the texts. This approach demonstrates that the Qur'an is compatible with modernity and supports gender equality. This article explores one of the leading Muslim feminisit scholar, Amina Wadud, and examines her Qur'an feminist hermeneutical method. Amina Wadud is a Muslim feminist who proposes feminist hermeneutical method to interpret the Qur'an which she called 'tawhidic paradigm.' This article shows that Wadud's hermeneutical approach interrogates the patriarchal reading of the Qur'anic verses that privileges one sex over another. According to her, in understanding the Qur'an three principles should be considered, namely: first, the context in which the Qur'an was revealed; second, the grammatical composition of the text; and third, the whole text, that is its weltanschauung or worldview.

“…Derived from a Western perspective, Indonesians tend to understand feminism as something with a negative connotation (Sadli, 2002). However, Wieringa (2006) notes that there have been increasing attempts to accept "feminism" and Nurmila (2011) further argues that Western feminism has influenced Indonesian Muslim feminist discourse in particular kinds of ways. However, from my perspective, there is still a need for adequate theories to shape the Indonesian women's movement, especially as related to our experiences in academic institutions.…”
