The article analyses the emergence of patriarchal systems within Abrahamic traditions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). It explores the socio-historical and theological dynamics that constitute these patriarchal systems. Historical roots of patriarchal structures are examined, focusing on figures like Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob who symbolize authority. Sacred texts and interpretative traditions legitimize male authority as a divine order, with narratives favouring active male roles and passive female roles. The research scrutinizes patriarchal exegesis, investigating how interpretations in sacred texts are constructed and challenged. It employs an inductive analytical methodology, revealing patriarchal structures through textual analysis. The study emphasizes comparative analysis across Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions, demonstrating how biblical narratives reinforce male authority. Women are often marginalized in these texts, depicted primarily as support for men. Subsequent exegeses have either reaffirmed or contested patriarchal paradigms. The critique of modern Qur'anic exegesis highlights diverse strategies in addressing gender roles. Feminist hermeneutics, particularly hooks' approach, challenges patriarchal power in text interpretation. The study emphasizes inductive thematic analysis to uncover themes of patriarchy within religious texts. Findings underscore the significance of transformative hermeneutics in challenging gender hierarchies and promoting equality and justice in religious interpretations.
