Abstract

This study aims to reconstruct the concept of Qur’anic Dao-Ecofeminism, a philosophical framework that integrates the ecological values found in the Qur’an with the ecological principles of Taoism. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach and content analysis from a Taoist perspective—with analytical steps covering unity, interconnectedness, Tao, equality, wu wei, and self-control—this study explores Qur’anic verses on ecofeminism found in Surah Al -Jatsiyah/45: 12–13, Surah Yasin/36: 33–35, Surah Al-Qashash/28: 77, Surah An-Naẖl/16: 80, and Surah Al-A’raf (7): 56. The research findings reveal a close connection between Qur’anic messages—such as the mandate to preserve nature, limits on human interaction, and ecological warnings—and the Taoist principle of balance. Dao-Ecofeminism emerges as an antithesis to the dominance of patriarchy, anthropocentrism, and capitalism through three main pillars: the theology of tawhid, the holistic balance of the Tao, and ecofeminist ethics. Ethically, this concept emphasizes the rejection of dualism, dynamic balance, and gender justice. This study concludes that Qur’anic Dao-Ecofeminism offers a model of holistic justice that integrates transcendent spirituality with immanent ecological harmony for environmental sustainability.
