Women’s education remains a significant issue in Islamic educational discourse, particularly in relation to gender equity and access to knowledge. This study examines the concept of women’s education in the thought of Kiai Hasyim Asy’ari, a prominent Indonesian Muslim scholar and educational reformer. Employing a qualitative literature-based approach, the research analyzes primary sources from Kiai Hasyim Asy’ari’s writings alongside relevant secondary literature to explore the normative foundations, educational orientation, and practical implications of his views on women’s education. The findings indicate that Kiai Hasyim conceptualized education as a religious obligation applicable to both men and women, emphasizing the integration of moral character, religious knowledge, and intellectual development. His perspective positions women as active moral agents whose education plays a strategic role in family formation and social continuity. Moreover, his educational thought is characterized by consistency between theory and practice, as reflected in his support for women’s literacy and his endorsement of educational institutions for female students. This study contributes to the discourse on Islamic education by highlighting Kiai Hasyim Asy’ari’s comprehensive and inclusive approach to women’s education and by demonstrating its relevance to contemporary discussions on educational inclusivity within Muslim societies, particularly in the Indonesian context.
