Abstract

This discourse examines the Safīnah Kallā Saya‘lamūn exegesis, which employs historical analogies to demonstrate the relevance of the historical content in the Qur’an; however, the criteria for testing these claims against empirical history remain underdeveloped. This study proposes a “Chronological-Epistemic Evaluation” model to critique the use of historical analogies in Indonesian exegetical works, particularly the Tafsir Safīnah Kallā Saya‘lamūn, which interprets Surah Ar-Rūm [30]:1–5 by claiming a date correspondence (17 Ramadan/August 17) and stating that a discrepancy of one or two days is permissible across all calendars. Through qualitative research, this study employs an astronomical algorithm for Hijri-Gregorian conversion to verify the claim of a direct temporal correspondence between the Roman victory (7th century) and Indonesian Independence (1945). The research findings indicate that the text operates through a "mediating authority" structure, projecting a nationalist narrative onto the Qur’anic text to achieve "symbolic truth". However, a rigorous chronological analysis proves that the claim of date correspondence is astronomically impossible due to the stability of the Gregorian calendar and the shifting lunar cycle. This study concludes that the text commits a category error by conflating metaphor (majāz) with empirical fact (haqīqah), thereby threatening scholarly integrity. Consequently, this research recommends that contemporary mufassirs adopt a "double validation" protocol balancing contextual relevance with strict empirical audits before publishing historical claims and advises readers to critically approach such historical analogies as symbolic pedagogy rather than literal historiography, thereby reinstating the principle of academic caution (iḥtiyāṭ).

Abstract

Challenging conventional narratives of militarized Islamic expansion, this study investigates the instrumental role of Ṣūfī institutions in Sudan's peaceful and integrative Islamization. It establishes the significance of these institutions not merely as spiritual centers but as foundational frameworks for social cohesion and community resilience, particularly in response to contemporary crises. Focusing on the peaceful spread of Islam, the research examines how Ṣūfī orders utilized non-coercive mechanisms, including migration, trade, and spiritual mediation, to embed Islamic practices within syncretic societies. Employing institutional ethnography, the methodology reveals the socio-political functions of Ṣūfī centers such as the Masīd and Khalwa. Results demonstrate that these institutions transcended doctrinal roles, becoming engines of urbanization, de-tribalization, and grassroots governance. The research particularly emphasizes the educational, conflict-resolution, and humanitarian contributions of Ṣūfī networks, especially during crises like the April 15, 2023, war. Case studies highlight how spiritual leaders provided shelter, healthcare, and psychological support, reinforcing the Masīd as a moral and communal nucleus. This integrative role underscores the adaptability of Ṣūfīsm in responding to changing social dynamics, offering an enduring model of inclusive governance and interethnic solidarity. The findings contribute to academic discussions on religion and social order, illustrating how faith-based institutions can serve as resilient frameworks for community development in fragile states.
