Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to determine and describe the model of scientific interpretation in Tafsir al-Mishbah by M. Quraish Shihab. It seeks to explore the extent to which Shihab interprets āyāt kawniyyah (cosmological verses) through scientific references, especially regarding the purpose of scientific interpretation and the sources he employs. Although Shihab often states his disagreement with scientific exegesis, his commentary paradoxically incorporates scientific concepts, making this research significant in clarifying his nuanced position. Design – The study employs a qualitative approach with a textual focus on Shihab’s Tafsir al-Mishbah. Primary data consists of Shihab’s own exegesis, while secondary data is drawn from scholarly journals discussing scientific interpretation and al-Mishbah. The analysis centers on Shihab’s interpretive strategies, his references, and his methodological stance toward scientific exegesis. Findings – The research finds that although Shihab explicitly rejects scientific exegesis (tafsīr ‘ilmī) as an independent or primary method, elements of it are nonetheless present in his interpretation, particularly in cosmological verses. He frequently draws upon references such as Tafsīr al-Muntakhab, which are uncommon in Indonesian tafsir, thereby enriching his commentary. His approach demonstrates that scientific exegesis can serve as reinforcement of exegetical understanding rather than as its main objective. Research Implications – The study concludes that Shihab’s selective incorporation of scientific exegesis highlights both the potential and limitations of this approach in contemporary Qur’anic interpretation. It implies that future development of scientific exegesis in Indonesia should be pursued thematically to ensure coherence and relevance, while avoiding speculative reliance on unstable scientific theories. Originality – The originality of this research lies in its systematic analysis of Shihab’s model of scientific exegesis, moving beyond descriptive categorization to evaluate his methodological strengths and weaknesses, and offering new insights into how scientific interpretation can be responsibly integrated into Qur’anic hermeneutics.

Abstract

The tradition of seserahan in Indonesian Muslim society constitutes an important part of the premarital process and carries symbolic, moral, and spiritual meanings. However, in contemporary practice, seserahan is often reduced to a display of prestige, consumption, and social status, thereby obscuring its religious substance. This study aims to reinterpret the tradition of seserahan through the perspective of tauhid and maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah, and to examine the extent to which this tradition remains aligned with the principle of maslahah in Muslim family life. This research employs a qualitative systematic literature review of 20 scholarly publications published between 2021 and 2025, selected from relevant academic sources on marriage, premarital traditions, Islamic law, and maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah. The data were analyzed thematically using two analytical parameters, namely tauhid as a spiritual-theological framework and the five essential objectives of maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah: hifzh ad-dīn, hifzh an-nafs, hifzh al-‘aql, hifzh an-nasl, and hifzh al-māl. The findings show that seserahan can reflect Islamic values and contribute to the realization of the objectives of sharia when it is practiced proportionally, ethically, and with a worship-oriented intention. At the same time, the literature also indicates a shift in meaning in modern society, where seserahan is frequently shaped by materialism and social pressure. This study concludes that reconstructing seserahan on the basis of tauhid and maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah is necessary in order to restore its function as a medium of moral education, spiritual commitment, and the formation of a sakinah family.
