Gender is one of the important issues that is widely discussed in various fields of social sciences and humanities. One highly influential theory for understanding gender is Performativity Theory, as proposed by Judith Butler. This theory views gender as the result of social constructs, formed through repeated actions and behaviours. This concept is particulary interesting to explore further through the perspective of the Qur'an, which views gender not just as a social construct, but also as part of human nature and the purpose of human creation. The purpose of this study is to reveal how the Qur'an provides a critical view of Judith Butler's theory of gender performativity, highlighting the epistemological and ontological aspects of gender in the text of the Qur'an. This study uses a qualitative approach with library research. The method employed in this study is critical analysis, focusing on the detailed examination, evaluation, and scrutiny of Judith Butler’s theory by subjecting it to critique through the normative framework of Qur’anic principles. The results of the study indicate that Judith Butler's theory of performativity has ontological, epistemological, and ethical weaknesses because it rejects the essence of gender and the basis of human nature. This criticism is reinforced by the views of modern and contemporary exegetes. Ibn 'Āshūr emphasises that gender differences are a principle of takāmul, a complementary relationship in the structure of creation. Sya'rāwī explains that everything is created in pairs as a sign of balance and divine mercy. Ibn 'Utsaimīn asserts that the differences between men and women are sunnatullāh, which contain wisdom and specific purposes. These three views show that gender diversity has a natural and divine basis, rooted in the nature and wisdom of creation, not merely a social construct. Thus, gender identity is understood as part of the order willed by God, not a reality that can be fully negotiated or deconstructed. This study acknowledges the limitations of its scope of analysis, and it is hoped that future research will expand the study of Butler's thinking and its relevance to contemporary Islamic gender discourse. This study is also expected to make a small contribution to the Islamisation of knowledge, particularly in the fields of gender studies and Qur'anic interpretation.
