Abstract

This ethnographic study examines how rural Indonesian Muslims actualize Qur’anic teachings on charity (sadaqah) through jimpitan, a longstanding practice of nightly rice collection in Dusun II, Rejodadi Village, Sembawa, Banyuasin, South Sumatra. Rather than treating this tradition merely as cultural heritage, this research interprets it as lived Islam, specifically as an ongoing enactment of sadaqah jariyah (continuous charity) grounded in Q.S. Al-Baqarah: 274. Drawing on six months of participant observation and in-depth interviews with religious leaders, hamlet officials, jimpitan organizers, and community members, the analysis reveals how this practice embeds Islamic principles of ikhlas (sincerity), gotong royong (mutual cooperation), and social empathy in the daily rhythms of community life. Beyond its economic role in allocating auctioned rice revenues for communal benefit, jimpitan strengthens social bonds, reinforces collective responsibility, and enhances participation in local security patrols. What emerges is not simply philanthropic behavior but a distinctive mode of religious interpretation—one that translates Qur’anic values into culturally resonant forms without necessarily invoking explicit textual references. By employing a Living Qur’an framework, this research demonstrates how scriptural ethics become embedded in social practice, offering insights into the dynamic relationship between Islamic teachings and rural Muslim life in contemporary Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examines the Qur'anic concept of israf (excess) through Hans-Georg Gadamer's fusion-of-horizons hermeneutics, comparing the interpretations found in Tafsir Al-Azhar by Buya Hamka and Tafsir Al-Mishbah by M. Quraish Shihab. Because israf spans personal, social, and structural domains, its contemporary significance cannot be captured through descriptive comparison alone. A Gadamerian reading of Tafsir Al-Azhar and Tafsir Al-Mishbah is important because the two works emerge from different Indonesian historical horizons, enabling a dialogical account of how Qur'anic meaning is rearticulated across changing contexts. This qualitative library research analyzes seven israf verses across six thematic clusters (QS. An-Nisa [4]: 6; Al-An'am [6]: 141; Al-A'raf [7]: 31 and 81; Al-Furqan [25]: 67; and Ash-Shu'ara [26]: 151–152) through four stages of Gadamerian hermeneutics: historical reading, pre-understanding, fusion of horizons, and contemporary application. The findings show that both exegetes agree that israf constitutes transgressing reasonable limits, extending from the personal-consumptive, moral-behavioral, and fiduciary domains to the structural-political domain, while differing in emphasis: Tafsir Al-Azhar foregrounds socio-agrarian responsibility and leadership legitimacy within mid-twentieth-century Indonesia, whereas Tafsir Al-Mishbah foregrounds spiritual motive, structural justice, and wasathiyyah, reflecting late-twentieth- to early-twenty-first-century discourse. The fusion of these two interpretive horizons is relevant to contemporary issues, particularly social-media flexing and frugal living, as well as accountability in the management of public and fiduciary resources, and contributes a multidimensional hermeneutic reading of israf that connects personal ethics, social responsibility, and structural accountability within contemporary Indonesia, thereby reaffirming the Qur'anic message as shalih li kulli zaman wa makan (valid for every time and place).
