Abstract

Ma'na cum maghzāh approach initiated by Prof. Sahiron Syamsuddin. This research is based on the understanding that fasting is not just a ritual of holding back hunger and thirst, but rather a form of worship that contains deep spiritual, social, and moral dimensions. Through the ma'na cum maghzāh method, this article explores the literal meaning (ma'na) of the verse and explores the goals, wisdom, and moral messages (maghzāh) that are relevant to the challenges of contemporary life. The results of the study show that fasting, as mandated in the Qur'an, has the ultimate goal of achieving piety, which is not only vertical (relationship with Allah) but also horizontal (social relations). This approach interprets fasting as a means of tazkiyatun nafs (purification of the soul) and character formation that has implications for the creation of spiritual and social awareness, fostering empathy, justice, self-control, and social solidarity. This article concludes that a contextual understanding of fasting through the lens of ma'na cum maghzāh can present a more applicable and transformative meaning of worship for Muslims in facing the complexities of modern life.

Abstract

Envy (Hasad) is a psychological illness with significant psychological, moral, and social impacts. It is a spiritual disease that can lead to various forms of evil, such as slander, ridicule, humiliation, and persecution. This study examines the problematics of hasad from the perspective of the Qur'an using the Tafsir Maqashidi approach, a method of interpretation that emphasizes the objectives and wisdom (maqashid) behind Islamic teachings. The Qur'an highlights the roots, manifestations, and impacts of hasad, while also providing spiritual guidance for overcoming and preventing it. The central issues addressed in this research are: What forms of problematics arise from hasad in life according to the Qur'anic perspective? How does the concept of Maqashid Asy-Syari'ah in Qur'anic verses about hasad relate to the issues caused by it? The objectives of this research are to identify and analyze the various forms of problematics caused by hasad in daily life based on the Qur'anic perspective. Furthermore, the study aims to explain the concept of Maqashid Asy-Syari'ah in Qur'anic verses related to hasad and how this concept provides solutions to the issues arising from it. Additionally, the research seeks to reveal the relevance of the Qur'anic teachings in addressing the negative impacts of hasad, both at the individual and social levels.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the paradigm of sleep in the Qur'an through a comparative method (tafsir muqorain) between Tafsir An-Nur by Hasby Ash-Siddiqye and Tafsir Fathul Qodir by Imam Asy-Syaukani. The focus of this research is to analyze the concept of sleep from several key verses, namely: QS. An- Naba’ : 9, QS. Az- Zumar : 42, QS. Al – Isra’ : 79. This study is very important because sleep is not just a biological phenomenon, but also has spiritual significance in Islam, where the Qur'an views sleep as a sign of God's power, a form of mercy, and a time for worship. The method used is muqorain interpretation, comparing the interpretations of both mufassir regarding the verses that discuss sleep. This approach allows researchers to explore the tendencies of both interpreters by comparing their backgrounds, scholarly expertise, and other factors. The research results show a difference in the approach of the two mufassir, where Hasby tends to prioritize a contextual modernist approach, while Asy-Syaukani emphasizes a classical textual approach. Both approaches contribute to enriching the understanding of the concept of sleep in Islam, both from physiological and spiritual aspects. The conclusion of this research emphasizes that the muqorain method is not only relevant for understanding the diversity of interpretations but also beneficial in building critical awareness of various perspectives. Through the comparison of interpretations, this research presents a more holistic understanding of the concept of sleep in the Qur'an, making it applicable in the context of modern life.
