ABSTRACTThe position of women in the teachings of Islam is often inconsistent with the practices of today's society. Women have significant roles in various aspects of social, economic, cultural, and political life. In some cases, women can even hold roles as leaders, including as heads of state. The teaching of Islam itself gives great attention and honorable position to women. The view of great contemporary Islamic scholars, such as Muhammad al-Ghazali and Mahmud Syaltut, affirms that women and men have equal potential and abilities. The privilege of women in Islam is often overshadowed by the lack of knowledge of religion, where religion is often misinterpreted as an excuse to justify beliefs and purposes that are not in line with the teachings of Islam. In this study it was found that the position of women in Islam is equal to that of men, and the difference lies in the quality of fear. The higher the quality of a man's fear, both male and female, the higher is his position with God. Therefore, it is important to understand and develop a proper understanding of the position of women in Islam in order to realize equality and justice in society.Keywords: Position, Women, Islam, Head, CountryABSTRAKKedudukan perempuan dalam ajaran Islam seringkali tidak sejalan dengan praktik masyarakat saat ini. Wanita memiliki peran yang signifikan dalam berbagai aspek kehidupan sosial, ekonomi, budaya, dan politik. Dalam beberapa kasus, wanita bahkan dapat memegang peran sebagai pemimpin, termasuk sebagai kepala negara. Ajaran Islam sendiri memberikan perhatian besar dan kedudukan terhormat kepada perempuan. Pandangan ulama besar Islam kontemporer, seperti Muhammad al-Ghazali dan Mahmud Syaltut, menegaskan bahwa perempuan dan lelaki memiliki potensi dan kemampuan yang setara. Keistimewaan perempuan dalam Islam seringkali terabur oleh kedangkalan pengetahuan keagamaan, di mana agama sering disalahartikan sebagai alasan untuk menjustifikasi pandangan dan tujuan yang sebenarnya tidak sesuai dengan ajaran Islam. Dalam penelitian ini ditemukan bahwa kedudukan perempuan dalam Islam sejajar dengan lelaki, dan perbedaan terletak pada kualitas ketakwaan. Semakin tinggi kualitas ketakwaan seseorang, baik lelaki maupun perempuan, semakin tinggi pula kedudukannya di sisi Tuhan. Oleh karena itu, penting untuk memahami dan mengembangkan pemahaman yang benar mengenai kedudukan perempuan dalam Islam untuk mewujudkan kesetaraan dan keadilan dalam masyarakat.Kata kunci : Kedudukan, Perempuan, Islam, Kepala, NegaraReferensi
