So whether you realize it or not, women and the issue of gender equality have recently become very interesting and lively for discussion, especially when it is related to Islamic discourse, where women in Islamic history did have an important position in various social, cultural, and social changes. economy, and even politics in this country. On this occasion, the author conducted a comparative analysis of the gender approach in Islamic studies by focusing on the discussion on the implementation of gender in society by searching books (research libraries) related to this discussion. Comparative analysis technique is a technique used to compare events that occurred when researchers analyzed these events and carried them out continuously throughout the research. Gender is used to identify differences between men and women from a socio-cultural perspective. While sex is used to identify differences between men and women in terms of biological anatomy. In addition, the relationship between women and men in Islam can in principle be called synonymous with talking about the equal partnership of men and women.
