<![CDATA[This study examines the interpretation of gender-related verses in the Qur'an through an ecofeminist framework. The primary focus is on Q.S. An-Nisa' (4):1, which has traditionally been interpreted by classical commentators in ways that reinforce patriarchal culture, often labeling women as the "Second Sex." This paper argues for a reinterpretation of gender-biased verses using an ecofeminist approach. This qualitative library research analyzes textual sources, including books and journals. It aims to answer two questions: how Q.S. 4:1 can be interpreted and how ecofeminist theory applies to its interpretation. The findings reveal that while Q.S. 4:1 has been traditionally linked to the creation of Eve from Adam’s rib, modern interpretations emphasize egalitarian principles, such as the rights of all individuals, including husbands, wives, and orphans. Ecofeminism provides an alternative lens by framing Q.S. 4:1 as a reflection of interconnectedness and mutual roles in human creation, affirming both gender equality and ecological harmony.]]>
