Abstract

Abstract This study examines the quality and classification of qiraʾat variants in Indonesian Qur’anic exegetical literature, with particular attention to the use of qira’at varieties in the interpretation of surah al-Baqarah. The study is premised on the observation that the use of qiraʾat in the Indonesian exegetical tradition has generally emphasized interpretive and semantic functions rather than rigorous sanad-based verification of recitational authority. Using a library research approach, this article applies descriptive-analytical and comparative methods to five Indonesian tafsir works from different historical periods: Tarjuman al-Mustafid, Tafsir al-Munir (Marah Labid), Maljaʾ at-Talibin, Tafsir al-Mishbah, and Firdaus an-Naʿim. The data were analyzed through the identification, classification, and comparison of qiraʾat variants based on their status as mutawatir or syazzah, as well as the ways in which they are presented within each tafsir. The findings reveal that mutawatir qiraʾat constitute the principal foundation across all examined commentaries, although several mufassirs also incorporate qira’at syazzah readings for linguistic, juridical, and semantic purposes. Maljaʾ at-Talibin is the most consistent in restricting itself to mutawatir readings, whereas the other tafsirs combine both categories to varying degrees. This study demonstrates that qiraʾat in the Indonesian tafsir tradition function not only as recitational variants, but also as hermeneutical instruments reflecting both the continuity of the wider Islamic intellectual tradition and the distinctive characteristics of Indonesian Qur’anic scholarship.

Abstract

Recognizing that thematic Qur'anic interpretation has become the most prominent method in the modern era, this study aims to track its evolution in Indonesia. Despite its popularity in academic contexts, there remains a critical gap in examining its application outside of universities. This study focuses on the shifts in interpretative authority and methodology in thematic Qur'anic exegesis across different sectors, including the state, Islamic boarding schools, universities, and individuals. Using a critical analysis method, the study uncovers several key findings. Firstly, there has been an authoritative shift, where Qur'anic commentators in Indonesia are not limited to traditional mufassir but now include scholars from non-religious fields. Secondly, methodological shifts are evident in several aspects: the editorial framing of interpretations, the reduction in the selection of Qur'anic verses used as primary research data, and the emergence of distinct interpretative tendencies. Additionally, there has been a paradigm shift in the relationship between Qur'anic text and social reality, where one approach begins with the Qur'an and leads to an idealistic-normative interpretation, while another starts from social reality and results in an applicative-solutive interpretation. This research fills a crucial academic gap by highlighting the broader changes in thematic exegesis, offering insights into its evolving methodologies and its relevance in addressing contemporary social realities in Indonesia.
