The importance of the family as one of the most fundamental social institutions is explicitly emphasized in the Qur'an. This research aims to examine the theoretical foundations of the Qur'anic family structure and critique feminist approaches in this context. The primary question of the study is how the epistemological, ontological, and anthropological foundations in the Qur'an provide a coherent structure for the family, and what differences and challenges exist between this perspective and feminist theories. The research method is based on a library-documentary approach and employs descriptive, analytical, and comparative methods. In the domain of epistemology, the findings reveal that the Qur'an values tools such as sensory perception, reason, the heart, and divine revelation, maintaining a balance in their functions. In contrast, feminist epistemology largely relies on skepticism and secular perspectives, disregarding the guidance of revelation. Regarding ontology, the Qur'an identifies monotheism, prophethood, and resurrection as core principles that ensure the stability of the family structure. However, feminism, with its emphasis on materialism and human-centeredness, overlooks these principles. From an anthropological perspective, the Qur'an portrays humans as beings with both a physical dimension and a divine spirit. In contrast, feminism adopts a materialistic view, presenting humans as solely subject to material laws. The Qur'anic theoretical foundations provide a balanced and meaningful framework for the family, ensuring the rights and responsibilities of its members while positively influencing family and social relationships. On the other hand, the feminist perspective, with its individualistic approach and denial of spiritual connections, has failed to offer a sustainable and comprehensive model.
