Feminicide, Al-Qur'an, TafsirAbstrak
This study examines the Qur’anic perspective on femicide—the deliberate killing of women because of their gender, patriarchal domination, or social structures that devalue women. Using the thematic interpretation (tafsīr mawḍū‘ī) method, it analyzes QS. al-Takwīr : 8–9, al-An‘ām : 137 and 151, al-Isrā’: 31, and al-Naḥl: 58–59 through a normative and socio-contextual approach. The findings show that the Qur’an firmly rejects the killing or devaluation of women, condemns female infanticide, and affirms the sanctity, equality, and dignity of all human life. These principles provide an ethical and religious foundation for challenging femicide, preventing gender-based violence, and protecting women’s fundamental right to life.
