Abstract

This study aims to analyze the methodology of reading tafsir manuscripts (qirā’ah al-nuṣūṣ) through philological and hermeneutical approaches and to explain the urgency of integrating both approaches within contemporary Qur’anic exegesis studies. The study is motivated by the tendency of tafsir scholarship to separate textual validity, which constitutes the primary concern of philology, from contextual interpretation, which is the central focus of hermeneutics. This research employs a qualitative-descriptive library research method. Data were collected from various primary and secondary sources, including books, journal articles, and other scholarly works relevant to the research topic. Data collection was conducted through documentary research, while data analysis employed content analysis of the selected literature. The findings reveal that philology plays a crucial role in ensuring textual authenticity and validity through manuscript criticism, collation, and textual reconstruction, whereas hermeneutics functions to interpret textual meaning based on historical and social contexts as well as the reader’s horizon of understanding. Although these approaches differ in orientation, they are complementary in the interpretative process. This study concludes that the integration of philology and hermeneutics constitutes an ideal methodological framework for reading tafsir manuscripts, as it maintains a balance between textual validity and contextual relevance. Consequently, such an integrated approach produces interpretations that are both academically rigorous and contextually meaningful in addressing the challenges of contemporary tafsir studies.

Abstract

This study comparatively examines the exegetical methodologies of Tafsir al-Kasyaf by al-Zamakhsyari and Anwar al-Tanzil wa Asrar al-Ta’wil by al-Baidhawi, while proposing a conceptual model of the methodological reconstruction employed by al-Baidhawi in responding to his predecessor’s interpretation. This library research employs a qualitative comparative-hermeneutical approach: the comparative dimension is operationalized through six indicators (linguistic structure, argumentation, use of transmitted reports, theological orientation, ta’wil technique, and use of hadith), while the philosophical-hermeneutical dimension draws on Palmer’s (1969) framework to read the methodological intent behind each exegete’s redactional choices. Primary data were drawn from the two classical commentaries; secondary data came from relevant literature on exegesis, Islamic theology, and scholarly articles. This study proposes a new conceptual model—built inductively from close reading rather than adopted as a fixed classical term—describing al-Baidhawi’s tahdzib strategy through three patterns: hadzaf (elimination), talwin (redactional modification), and ta’kid (theological reinforcement). The findings show that Tafsir al-Kasyaf is characterized by a rational-linguistic approach grounded in Mu’tazilite theology, while Anwar al-Tanzil integrates al-Zamakhsyari’s linguistic sophistication with Ash’arite theological principles and a more proportional use of transmitted reports. The relationship between the two works is not mere textual reproduction but a systematic process of tahdzib. As an exploratory model still grounded in two verses, these findings should be tested on a broader corpus of mutashabihat verses, yet they already indicate that Anwar al-Tanzil represents a methodological transformation enriching the classical Sunni exegetical tradition.
