Abstract

Meritocracy is a system of placing individuals in positions or roles based on ability, achievement, and worthiness, not because of kinship, social status, or certain interests. This study aims to explore the interpretation of meritocratic verses in the Qur'an through Abdullah Saeed's contextual interpretation approach and analyze their relevance to the contemporary meritocratic leadership system. This study uses a qualitative method with a library research type. Primary data are in the form of Qur'anic verses related to meritocracy, while secondary data are obtained from Abdullah Saeed's works, tafsir books, books, journals, and relevant academic studies. Data analysis is carried out descriptively-analytically through Abdullah Saeed's four steps of contextual interpretation. The results of the study indicate that meritocracy in the Qur'an does not only emphasize ability and achievement, but also integrity, character, empathy, and moral responsibility. QS Al-Qasas [28]: 26 emphasizes competence and trustworthiness, QS Al-Isra’ [17]:84 emphasizes the suitability of roles to individual character, and QS At-Taubah [9]:128 presents a model of empathetic and compassionate leadership. Thus, meritocracy from the perspective of the Qur’an offers a leadership paradigm that is holistic, ethical, and relevant to contemporary organizational and governmental governance.

Abstract

This article examines the grammatical (linguistic) approach in al-Munīr’s interpretation of Qur’anic verses related to religious moderation. However, previous studies generally discuss religious moderation thematically without examining the linguistic strategies used by Wahbah Zuḥaylī in Tafsir al-Munīr. How is nahwu analysis applied in the interpretation of verses on religious moderation and its linguistic implications in constructing a discourse of moderation? This study shows that the lughawī approach not only functions as a tool for text analysis but also as a mechanism for creating the meaning of moderation in contemporary tafsir. The primary focus of this study is how linguistic aspects, such as i’rab, mufradat meaning, balaghah, and syntactic and morphological structures, are used by Zuhaili to form a moderate narrative in a religious and national context. This study uses a qualitative method based on a literature review with a descriptive-analytical approach. Primary data is sourced from Tafsir al-Munir, while secondary data is obtained from other Arabic exegesis and linguistic works. The linguistic approach in this study focuses on nahwu analysis through i’rab and mufradat in Tafsir al-Munīr. The verses were selected thematically, in line with the Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs’ indicators of Religious Moderation. The results show that Zuhaili consistently applies a linguistic interpretation pattern through etymological, semantic, and syntactic approaches, which strengthen the understanding of verses on defending the country, tolerance, justice, leadership, and unity. The emphasis on the accuracy of word meaning and sentence structure in these verses clarifies messages of moderation, such as love for the homeland, anti-extremism, and respect for diversity

Abstract

Studies of Qur'anic interpretation in academic tradition generally focus on written interpretations, while oral exegesis, despite their significance in religious practice, are still relatively rarely studied systematically. Oral exegesis are communicative, situational, and contextual in nature, requiring separate analysis to understand their structure and dynamics. This study aims to formulate Gus Mus’s oral exegesis through a conceptual approach that combines the context of delivery, interpretation structure, reference sources, and interpretation strategies. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical design through thematic analysis of oral exegesis, which is operationalized through a process of transcription, open coding, categorization, and identification of interpretive patterns and themes. The research data consists of transcripts sourced from recordings of Gus Mus’s al-Ibrīz interpretation lectures, collected through audio-visual documentation and other relevant supporting sources. The results of the study show that Gus Mus’s oral exegesis is constructed through a complex analysis method, in which the text of the Qur'an, scholarly tradition, the interpreter's historical experience, and the socio-cultural context of the audience interact simultaneously. Intratextual and intertextual approaches strengthen the coherence and legitimacy of meaning, while the dimensions of locality, affirmative and critical commentary, and recontextualization ensure relevance and effective communication with the audience. The findings of this study offer a new conceptual framework in the study of oral exegesis, enriching contemporary Qur'anic interpretation studies and opening up opportunities for further research on the oral exegesis practices of other figures and written interpretations.
