Abstract

This research explores the linguistic and theological controversies regarding the use of isim isharah (pointing words) dhalika and hadha in the Qur'an, especially in Surah Al-Baqarah. The phenomenon of using the word far point (dhalika) for objects that are close textually often gives rise to semantic debate. Using Toshihiko Izutsu's semantic theory which includes basic meaning, relational meaning, and weltanschauung, as well as examining Tafsir Al-Tanwir as a contemporary model of interpretation, this study aims to uncover the dimension  of honorific distance behind the choice of diction. The methodology used is qualitative-descriptive with a content analysis approach. The results of the study showed that the use of dhalika in Surah Al-Baqarah (dominance 51.4%) and hadha (11.4%). The dominance of dhalika is not just a spatial indicator, but an instrument of ta'zim (transcendence) that forms the worldview of monotheism. Tafsir Al-Tanwir implements this meaning through a rational-progressive approach, linking the authority of revelation to modern human consciousness through the concept of "meaningful distance".

Abstract

The phenomenon of moral degradation and disconnection between ethical knowledge and social behavior is a crucial obstacle to Indonesia's vision 2045. This gap often manifests itself in "moral paralysis" in which individuals fail to convert knowledge into ethical action. This research aims to reconstruct the paradigm of Qur'an-based moral education through the integration of the dimensions of moral knowing, feeling, and action in the perspective of Maqasid Al-Qur'an. Using a qualitative-descriptive method with a thematic interpretation approach (maudhu'i) and asrar al-tasyri' analysis, this study synthesizes Thomas Lickona's character trilogy with Islamic transcendental values. The results of the study formulated three character pillar transformations: 1) The pillar of knowing through tafakkur and tadabbur to form Al-Furqan's ability to ward off cognitive distortion (deceived by cleverness); 2) The pillar of feeling through tazkiyatun nafs as a mechanism of mental resilience in managing moral injury) to achieve inner integrity (qolbun salim); and 3) The pillar of action through the habit of charity to overcome the phenomenon of "reluctant compliance" towards sedentary autonomous actions (malakah). The novelty of this research lies in the use of Maqasid Al Qur'an as an integrative framework that bridges modern moral psychology with the goal of sharia to maintain the benefit of reason (hifz al-'aql), soul (hifz al-nafs), and religion (hifz al din). This conceptual model offers a strategic foundation for educators to build a character education ecosystem that is adaptive to the disruptions of the times in order to produce human resources with integrity to welcome the Golden Indonesia 2045.
