Abstract

‘Iffah is a fundamental moral value in Islamic teachings that emphasizes self-restraint and the preservation of human dignity from behaviors contrary to Islamic law. This value has strong relevance to the local culture of the Minangkabau community, which is based on the philosophy of Adat Basandi Syarak, Syarak Basandi Kitabullah. This article aims to analyze the concept of ‘iffah in the Qur’an according to Buya Hamka’s Tafsir al-Azhar and to examine its relevance to Minangkabau cultural values. This study employs a qualitative library research method using a thematic (maudhu‘i) tafsir approach. The analyzed verses include Q.S. al-Baqarah [2]: 273, Q.S. an-Nisa’ [4]: 6, and Q.S. an-Nur [24]: 33 and 60. The findings indicate that Hamka interprets ‘iffah not merely as sexual chastity but as comprehensive self-control encompassing speech, behavior, financial ethics, and social interaction. This concept aligns with Minangkabau moral values such as malu jo sopan, raso jo pareso, and sumbang duo baleh, which function as social and moral controls to maintain personal and communal dignity. Therefore, the Qur’anic concept of ‘iffah demonstrates strong contextual relevance to Minangkabau culture and serves as an ethical foundation for addressing contemporary moral challenges.
