Summary/Abstract: This article aims to address the issues of humanizing gender relations within the Islamic perspective with a particular focus on women’s dignity and the attitude toward the rights and freedom of women. The article attempts to demonstrate the extent to which a woman’s dignity, in all its aspects, is valued within the Islamic perspective, starting with the appreciation of women in private and public spheres of life: in its marital, family, social, political, professional, and upbringing-educational aspects. Islam insists upon humanizing gender relations, affirms the right to a life without gender discrimination, demands absolute equality in terms of respecting one’s rights to dignity, and requires utter justice.
