Abstract

This study examines the manuscript of the Malay Palembang Tafsir written by Masagus Muzammil using a philological approach. This study focuses on two aspects: the philological aspects present in the manuscript and the interpretive methodology employed in the tafsir. The research adopts a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical type, using the Al-Qur'an manuscript as the primary source. Data collection techniques include literature review, direct observation of the manuscript’s physical and textual features, interviews with relevant informants (including descendants of the author), and documentation of manuscript conditions. The findings reveal that the Malay Palembang Tafsir manuscript (c. 1860 CE), written on European paper with watermarks, is arranged according to the muṣhaf order and presented in a global, non-academic format. It applies a Sufi and socio-community interpretive style (adābī ijtimā’ī), using the tafsir bi al-ra’yi method, with both textual and contextual approaches. Academically, this study exposes the methodological hybridity of Malay tafsir traditions and shows how the manuscript bridges classical Islamic scholarship with Southeast Asian hermeneutics, highlighting the adaptive and dynamic nature of 19th-century Malay-Islamic intellectual thought.
