Gender equality has become a central issue in contemporary Islamic education discourse. Rapid developments in social dynamics, globalization, and democratization are pushing Islamic educational institutions to reconstruct their understanding of gender relations while maintaining Islamic values. However, previous studies tend to discuss gender and religious moderation separately, thus limiting conceptual integration between the two perspectives. This study aims to analyze gender from the perspective of contemporary Islamic education through the integration of gender equality and religious moderation. This study uses a qualitative approach with library research methods. Data were collected from thirteen scientific publications discussing gender, Islamic education, and religious moderation. Data were analyzed using descriptive-analytical techniques through literature identification, categorization, interpretation, and conceptual synthesis. The findings indicate that Islamic teachings fundamentally uphold justice, equality, and respect for human dignity regardless of gender differences. Contemporary Islamic education increasingly encourages gender-responsive learning through curriculum development, teaching practices, leadership opportunities, and character education. Furthermore, religious moderation strengthens the implementation of gender equality by encouraging tolerance, balance, inclusiveness, and social justice. The integration of gender equality and religious moderation can serve as a paradigm for contemporary Islamic education that is inclusive, just, and responsive to modern social challenges. This study contributes theoretically by offering a conceptual framework that integrates gender equality and religious moderation into contemporary Islamic educational discourse.
