Although the Koran is the holy book of eternal truth, interpretation cannot be avoided as a relative. Historical development of various sect of kalâm, fiqh, and sufism is positive proof of the relativity of appreciation of religious Muslims. At one period, the levels of intellect into dominant, on the other period, the levels of emotionality become prominent. That is why the perception of women among Muslims, especially in self commentators, also varies from age to age the majority of Muslims are stuck with so many results ijtihâd of the scholars then regarded as a religion that cannot brain-tweaking and could not be bothered. But this fact does not actually like it. Therefore, this paper attempts to dismantle understanding of religious texts that have been used as legitimating for patriarchal mindset away from gender equality.
