        abstract = {Surah An-Nisa, the fourth chapter of the Holy Qur’an, provides one of the most comprehensive frameworks for women’s legal and social rights in Islamic law. Revealed during the early Madina period, the surah focuses on issues related to family relationships, inheritance, marriage, divorce, justice, and the protection of vulnerable groups, particularly women and orphans. This paper examines the legal and social rights granted to women in Surah An-Nisa, by analysing its historical context, Qur’anic principles, and contemporary relevance. The study argues that Surah An-Nisa, established transformative reforms for women’s dignity, autonomy, and protection, many of which remain misunderstood or insufficiently implemented in modern Muslim societies.},
