The study employs a literature review approach with a qualitative descriptive method. The hermeneutical approach used is ma’na cum maghza by Sahiron Syamsuddin. The research data include interpretations of Surah Yūsuf verse 23-24 and other supporting data, such as a study of biological aspects.Through the reinterpretation of Surah Yūsuf verse 23-24, it is found that maghza of this ayah is not about the nature of women as temptresses existing since the time of the Prophet.
