Abstract

This study examines the sufi exegesis of Ibnu ‘Ajibah (1747–1809 CE) within the framework of institutionalized sufi orders (tariqah), positioning his work, al-Bahr al-Madid fi Tafsir al-Qur’an al-Majid, as a culmination of the mature sufi interpretative tradition. By applying Gadamer’s hermeneutic theory, the authors analyze how Ibnu ‘Ajibah’s socio-historical context marked by Morocco’s political instability and the ascendancy of the Syazily-Darqawi Sufi order shaped his integration of esoteric (batin) and exoteric (zahir) Qur’anic meanings. The research highlights two core dimensions of his exegesis: (1) the authority of the spiritual leader (mursyid) as an indispensable guide for disciples, rooted in Qur’anic verses such as QS al-Ma’idah/5: 35 and QS al-Nahl/16: 43, and (2) the institutionalized disciple-master relationship, legitimized through rituals like the oath of allegiance (bai’ah) and modeled on prophetic covenants (e.g., QS al-Fath/48: 10). The study argues that Ibnu ‘Ajibah’s tafsir transcends earlier Sufi traditions by systematically embedding the hierarchical structures of the Tariqah into Qur’anic interpretation by situating Ibnu ‘Ajibah’s work within the socio-religious dynamics of his era, this research underscores the role of institutionalized Sufism in redefining Qur’anic exegesis, offering fresh insights into the interplay between spiritual authority, textual hermeneutics, and Sufi institutionalization in the late pre-modern Islamic world.

Abstract

This study examines the phrase ummatan wāḥidah in contemporary Sunni and Shi‘i Qur’anic exegesis by comparing Wahbah al-Zuhaylī’s al-Tafsīr al-Munīr and Husayn Faḍlullah’s Min Waḥy al-Qur’ān. The background of this research lies in the enduring tension between Sunni and Shi‘i traditions, which historically framed Qur’anic interpretation as a contested domain of authority and identity. While earlier exegetical works often reinforced sectarian divisions, contemporary interpretations increasingly revisit the Qur’an as a source of unity. Employing Abdul Mustaqim’s paradigm of comparative tafsir with a thematic approach, this article analyzes how both exegetes interpret selected verses containing the phrase ummatan wāḥidah (e.g., Q. 23:52; 21:92; 11:118; 43:33; 2:213, 5:48). The findings show that both al-Zuhaylī and Faḍlullah highlight Islamic unity as grounded in monotheism and the shared mission of prophets, while acknowledging diversity in law and practice as part of divine wisdom. Nevertheless, al-Zuhaylī tends to emphasize Islam’s role in restoring authentic monotheism and distinguishing constructive differences from destructive division, whereas Faḍlullah stresses the inclusivity of revelation and the ethical imperative of transcending sectarianism. The study concludes that despite their doctrinal differences, both exegetes employ ummatan wāḥidah as a hermeneutical bridge toward inter-Muslim rapprochement, offering a potential framework for fostering unity in contemporary Islamic thought.
