While the secondary data are the books and the internet media related to the topic of discussion. From the study, it can be concluded that Fatima Mernissi is a person who suggested a review of the actual Islamic concept of the role of women and men especially in the household since she found a tendency of patriarchal cultural influence from ‘ulama in translating the message of Islam. Fatima Mernissi also voiced the importance of women's struggle itself in striving for life to achieve a better quality of life without forgetting their nature as women. Thus it can be concluded that the concept obtained is the concept of gender justice according to Islam and analysis of balanced and mutually compatible Fatima Mernissi’s thought. Women are not restricted to the doctrines that restrict women in their scope. So, the whole idea of Fatima Mernissi is started from the effort to find the point of the problem faced by women, and to reassert women's position from patriarchal and misogyny biases. Women's issues must be addressed at this time, women must rise and use the guarantee of freedom provided. With the best, especially show the identity of women to become a leader because women are equal to men.
