Abstract

The integration of science in the interpretation of the Qur'an (tafsir 'ilmi), especially in cosmological verses, has become an important phenomenon in contemporary Islamic studies. This literature review aims to map the development, examine methods, and identify epistemological and methodological challenges in the approach. The research uses a literature study method with thematic content analysis, sourced from classical interpretation, scientific-modern interpretation, and academic studies on the epistemology of interpretation and cosmology. The results of the study show that the integration of science is carried out through various patterns, such as technical correspondence, apologetic confirmation, and conceptual harmonization. Cosmological verses such as QS. Al-Anbiya' 30, QS. Adz-Dzariyat 47, and QS. Yasin 38–40 was the main focus. However, this approach has been criticized for the risk of imposing meaning, reducing the theological message, and relying on tentative scientific theories. The epistemological challenge of bringing together transcendent and normative revelation with immanent and descriptive science is also a crucial issue. This study confirms that the sustainability of tafsir 'ilmi requires a rigorous methodology by placing the linguistic authority and context of the Qur'an as the main foundation. It is recommended that there be clearer methodological guidelines, multidisciplinary collaboration, and further research on the theme of cosmology with a philosophical-hermeneutical approach. The integration of science should ultimately lead to the deepening of faith and obedience, not merely scientific proof.

Abstract

Religious radicalism in Indonesia is often rooted in an interpretation of Qur'anic verses that are not comprehensive and taken out of context, especially those on jihad and tolerance. This article analyzes the issue of radicalism through a study of the interpretation of these verses in contemporary Indonesian interpretation, by examining Tafsir Al-Azhar, Tafsir Al-Misbah, as well as modern hermeneutical approaches such as ma'na--maghzā. The results of the study show that Indonesian mufassir affirms the meaning of jihad as a moral and spiritual struggle, not a legitimacy of violence. Meanwhile, the verses of tolerance are understood as the theological foundation for harmonious relations between religions in a pluralistic society. Previous research has also emphasized the importance of religious moderation and the role of educational institutions in preventing radicalism through the teaching of contextual and balanced interpretations. This article concludes that a comprehensive and moderate interpretation of the Qur'an is an important instrument in efforts to deradicalize and strengthen social harmony in Indonesia.

Abstract

The development of Qur’anic exegesis in Indonesia between 2020 and 2025 demonstrates significant epistemological transformations driven by the growing need to interpret the Qur’an in ways that are contextual, interdisciplinary, and responsive to contemporary social dynamics. This study aims to map four major epistemological trends shaping the new direction of contemporary Indonesian tafsīr: the integrative paradox between classical tradition and modern methodology; the reformulation of feminist exegesis through the Qirā’ah Mubādalah approach; the expanding dialogue between the Qur’anic text and modern science, which shifts interpretation from literalism toward scientific contextualism; and the emergence of digital epistemology, which transforms the production, dissemination, and validation of tafsīr. Employing a qualitative-descriptive method grounded in Gadamerian hermeneutics and discourse analysis, this research examines exegetical works, academic studies, institutional documents, and digital tafsīr content produced between 2020 and 2025. The findings reveal that the epistemology of Indonesian tafsīr is moving toward a synthetic model that reaffirms textual authority while opening space for dialogue with contemporary realities. The integration of hermeneutics, maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, multi-criteria validation theories, and digital technologies has generated an interpretive paradigm that is more reflective, adaptive, and oriented toward public welfare. This study concludes that such epistemological transformations not only enrich the methodology of Qur’anic exegesis but also offer new directions for the future development of Qur’anic studies in the modern era.
THE QUR'AN'S PERSPECTIVE ON THE PROHIBITION OF CATCALLING: A HERMENEUTIC, GENDER, AND SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY ANALYSIS Hakim, M. Luqman; Fathoni, Ahmad Nur; Bahrudin, Moh.; Mukti, Anwar; Cahyono, Agung Mandiro; Azzahro, Ana Asyifa

Abstract

Catcalling is a form of verbal sexual harassment that is often normalized in society, even though it has serious psychological impacts and reflects patriarchal power relations that are detrimental to women in public spaces. This study aims to analyze the prohibition of catcalling from the perspective of the Qur'an using hermeneutics, gender, and social psychology approaches. Through Qur'anic hermeneutics, verses such as QS. Al-Ahzab: 58, QS. An-Nur: 30–31, QS. Al-Hujurat: 11, QS. An-Nisa’: 148, and QS. Al-Isra’: 53 are interpreted as universal prohibitions against harassment, abusive language, and actions that demean human dignity. Gender analysis shows that catcalling is a social construct rooted in the patriarchal system, the objectification of women's bodies, and hegemonic masculinity. Meanwhile, social psychology reveals the effects of catcalling in the form of anxiety, decreased self-esteem, self-objectification, and restrictions on women's mobility. The integration of these three perspectives shows that catcalling contradicts the basic Qur'anic values of justice, honor, and social security. This study emphasizes that preventing catcalling requires a holistic approach through Qur'anic values-based education, deconstruction of patriarchal culture, and strengthening public regulations to make social spaces safer, more equitable, and dignified for all individuals.

Abstract

The development of digital technology and social media has fundamentally changed the way religious information is disseminated, shifting society's dependence from traditional religious institutions to the consumption of abundant digital religious content on the internet. This transformation has not only reshaped religious authority, but also increased the potential for a decline in religious moderation due to the spread of inaccurate, biased, and radical interpretations. This study aims to analyze the shift in religious authority in the context of Islamic interpretation in the digital age and explore the role of social media in spreading radical ideology. Through a qualitative approach using a systematic literature review of scientific publications from 2019 to 2025, thematic analysis shows a shift from hierarchical authority based on religious scholars and religious institutions to authority based on popularity on social media, which contributes to vulnerability to misinformation, fragmentation of religious understanding, and commodification of religion. Digital literacy emerges as a key factor in filtering religious information, but access to it is not yet evenly distributed among the public. This study concludes that the transformation of religious authority in the digital era is an inevitability that has dual impacts: it opens up opportunities for the democratization of knowledge but also has the potential to erode religious moderation. Therefore, collaboration between the government, religious institutions, and the community is needed to strengthen religious digital literacy and develop responsive content regulations.

Abstract

This study analyzes the role of local interpretations in the preservation of cultural identity and the urgency of their revitalization amid the currents of globalization and homogenization of religious interpretations. Using a descriptive qualitative approach based on literature review, this study examines Javanese, Sundanese, and Bugis interpretations; scientific articles related to vernacularization; and manuscripts and supporting documents on the development of local interpretations. The results show that local interpretations have distinctive epistemological and methodological characteristics through the integration of the Qur'anic text with cultural values, linguistic idioms, and the social structure of the local community. This tradition not only functions as a medium for religious understanding, but also as a vehicle for preserving regional languages, local scripts, and the formation of a grounded Islamic identity. However, the dominance of Middle Eastern interpretations, limited access to manuscripts, and a lack of regeneration of Islamic scholars pose serious challenges to the sustainability of local interpretations. This study offers revitalization strategies through manuscript digitization, curriculum integration, production of new works in regional languages, and collaboration in research and cultural activities. Thus, local interpretations are positioned as an important pillar of Islamic plurality in the archipelago as well as a foundation for the preservation of the nation's intellectual and cultural heritage.
