<![CDATA[The global water crisis, environmental degradation, and the increasing need for a sustainability paradigm based on religious values make the study of water in the Qur'an increasingly relevant in contemporary academic discourse. This research aims to map, synthesize, and identify the direction of research development on water in the interpretation of the Qur'an, especially related to theological meaning, hermeneutical approach, and Islamic environmental ethics. The study uses the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method with the PRISMA protocol on Scopus-indexed articles in the range of 2020–2026. The analysis process is carried out through a thematic synthesis approach to identify conceptual patterns and dominant themes in the literature. The results of the study show that water in the Qur'an is interpreted as a symbol of life, grace, holiness, and eschatology, as well as having ecological implications through the concepts of caliph, trust, and mizan. In addition, contemporary hermeneutical approaches expand the interpretation of water verses towards the paradigm of environmental sustainability and Islamic environmental ethics. This research contributes to building an integrative conceptual synthesis between Qur'anic interpretation, environmental hermeneutics, and Islamic ecological ethics. Despite this, the available literature is still limited and dominated by conceptual approaches. Therefore, future research needs to develop empirical studies and multidisciplinary approaches in the study of environmental interpretation.]]>
