Abstract

The majority of scholars agree that these three verses are verses that express the belief in the three Gods in Christianity, both the Trinity and Tritheism. In explaining these verses, the mufasir often mention sects in Christianity, such as Ya'qubiyah, Mulkiyah, Nasturiyah, and others. In the Christian confession, Mary is only the Mother of Jesus, and is not considered God. Christians inform that what they believe is the Holy Spirit. Maryam is one of God's persons. However, the mufasir are very convinced that Mary is one of the formulations of the Trinity, not the Holy Spirit. As mentioned by the majority of mufasir, there is a sect called Collydrians who believe in Mary as God. The author proves that the sect once existed. In this study, the author used a qualitative method. The data was obtained through library research using classical and contemporary interpretations and sources of Christian literature. In this paper, various historical issues will be contained, including the dialogue between the Qur'an and Christianity, as well as the debate between Islam and Christianity on the verses of the Trinity.

Abstract

Islam is one of the religions with the largest number of adherents in the world. Muslims, although they come from diverse backgrounds, are united by the teachings of the Qur'an which was revealed in Arabic. To meet the needs of understanding for non-Arab Muslims, translating the Qur'an into various languages is important, but must still maintain the authenticity and sanctity of the original text. One of the English translations of the Qur'an that is considered authentic and neutral is the work of Marmaduke Pickthall, a convert from England. In his work The Meaning of the Glorious Qur'an (1930), Pickthall uses a literal approach with a classic English style ala the King James Bible. The goal is for Western readers to feel familiar and be able to understand the text with a similar spiritual nuance. This study is a literature review (library research) with a qualitative method that aims to examine Pickthall's translation approach, the challenges he faced, and the influence of his work on English-language Islamic studies. The results show that although his translation has been criticized for its archaic language style and extreme literal tendencies, Pickthall's work remains an important reference and has made a major contribution to building bridges of cross-cultural understanding.

Abstract

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa az-Zamakhsyari dan Fakhruddin al-Ra?zi sepakat bahwa Islam menolak kasta atau tingkatan sosial tertutup yang didasarkan pada asy-Syaraf adz-Dz?ti atau keturunan. Menurut keduanya, keunggulan seseorang tidaklah diukur dari asy-Syaraf adz-Dz?ti, melainkan dari ketakwaannya kepada Allah. Hanya saja pada QS as-Syu?ra/42:23, az-Zamakhsyari tidak menafikan adanya kemulian berdasarkan keturunan Nabi, yaitu dengan menghadirkan hadis-hadis yang mendukung pendapatnya tersebut. Namun Az-Zamakhsyari menukilkan hadis-hadis yang bermasalah baik dari segi kevalidan matan ataupun makna kandungannya, yang mana hal ini tidak sesuai dengan prinsip beliau sendiri tentang kesetaraan pada QS al-Hujura?t/49:13 dan pendapat Fakhruddin ar-Ra?zi pada QS as-Syu?ra/42:23. Sampai beliau menyindir bahwa hadis-hadis yang diriwayatkan oleh Az-Zamakhsyari hanya ditemukan di dalam kitabnya, al-Kasysyaf. Adapun segi perbedaan dengan penelitian lain yang berkaitan dengan hal ini adalah penulis memfokuskan penelitian dari sudut pandang Islam. Penulis membahas teks-teks yang berkaitan secara langsung dengan kasta, yaitu QS al-Hujura?t/49:13 dan QS as-Syu?ra/42:23. Kemudian penulis melakukan analisis dan komparasi terhadap penafsiran az-Zamakhsyari dan Fakhruddi?n ar-Ra?zi pada kedua ayat tersebut. Inilah yang membedakan penelitian ini dari penelitian lainnya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif komparatif. Dengan mengkomparasikan penafsiran kedua mufasir yang mewakili mazhab Muktazilah dan Asy’ariah, diusahakan bisa memberikan pandangan yang lebih mendalam tentang pemahaman kasta dalam Islam.

Abstract

This research explores the concept of the self in Islamic philosophy, revealing its critical role in understanding the divine. It highlights the perspectives of key philosophers such as Al-Farabi, Ibn Sina, and Ibn Arabi, who collectively emphasized that self-knowledge is essential to achieving a deeper understanding of God. Al-Farabi's focus on active intelligence illustrates the progressive nature of intellectual growth, while Ibn Arabi's insight into the role of the heart in spiritual experience underscores the importance of experiential knowledge. The hadith “Man 'Arafa Nafsahu 'Arafa Rabbahu” encapsulates the idea that self-awareness is the gateway to divine understanding, bridging philosophical inquiry with spiritual practice. This synthesis of thought illustrates that self-exploration in Islamic philosophy is a holistic effort, integrating intelligence, spirituality, and ethical life, which ultimately guides individuals towards a deep understanding of their relationship with the Divine.

Abstract

This study focuses on the study of Muhammad Syahrur's hermeneutics in reading polygamy verses. The background of this study departs from the debate that emerged regarding the interpretation of polygamy verses in the Qur'an, where Syahrur offers a different approach from classical commentators. This study aims to analyze Syahrur's hermeneutic method and explore its implications for understanding the law of polygamy. The method used is qualitative research with a text analysis approach, where Syahrur's works are used as the main source. According to Syahrur, the practice of polygamy can be carried out if there are two limitations: quantitative limitations and qualitative limitations. Polygamy means marrying a single woman without having to be a widow or virgin, according to the understanding of qualitative and quantitative boundary theory. Marrying two or three women means that the widow must have an orphan; The highest limit is four women, and widows must have orphans.

Abstract

The Wahhabi or Salafi movement is an important phenomenon in contemporary Islamic history, rooted in the preaching of Sheikh Muhammad bin ‘Abd al-Wahhāb in Najd during the 18th century CE. This movement emphasizes the purification of monotheism and the rejection of practices considered deviant from pure Islamic teachings. This study uses a qualitative approach based on literature review to analyze the historical, theological, and sociopolitical dynamics of the Wahabi movement. The findings show that the success of the Wahabi movement lies not only in its ideology but also in its political collaboration with the al-Sa‘ūd dynasty. Despite its wide influence, this movement has also raised controversy due to its rigid and exclusive approach. This article evaluates the relevance of the Wahabi movement in the context of globalization and the future of Islamic civilization.

Abstract

This article examines the symbolic meaning of the phrase nâshiyah kâdzibah khâthi’ah in Q.S. al-‘Alaq verse 16 through an integrative approach combining tafsir studies and neuroscientific perspectives. The phrase is often translated as “a lying and sinful forelock,” yet a literal interpretation does not sufficiently capture the depth of its moral and psychological messages. This study aims to explore the symbolic dimension of the verse by connecting it to the neurological function of the frontal lobe as the center of human behavioral control. The research adopts a qualitative methodology using a library research design, with data analyzed descriptively through in-depth textual analysis of primary literature in Qur’anic exegesis and neuroscience. Key sources include Tafsir al-Qur’an al-‘Azh?m by Ibn Kathir, F? Zhil?l al-Qur’an by Sayyid Qutb, Tafsir al-Misbah by Quraish Shihab, and Tafsir al-Aayaat al-Kauniyah by Zaghlul al-Najjar. The findings reveal that the Qur’an symbolically refers to the human brain region responsible for moral judgment, behavior regulation, and decision-making—known in modern neuroscience as the frontal lobe. This study highlights the relevance of Qur'anic symbolic expression in dialogue with contemporary scientific discoveries. [Artikel ini menelaah makna simbolik frasa nâshiyah kâdzibah khâthi’ah dalam Q.S. al-‘Alaq ayat 16 melalui pendekatan tafsir dan neuroscientific. Frasa ini sering diterjemahkan sebagai “ubun-ubun pendusta dan durhaka”, namun pemahaman literal tidak sepenuhnya mencerminkan kedalaman pesan moral dan psikologis yang terkandung di dalamnya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengungkap makna simbolik dari frasa tersebut dengan mengaitkannya pada fungsi neurologis lobus frontal sebagai pusat kendali perilaku manusia. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan jenis penelitian kepustakaan (library research), yang dianalisis secara deskriptif melalui teknik analisis mendalam terhadap literatur utama bidang tafsir dan neurosains. Sumber data mencakup kitab-kitab tafsir klasik dan kontemporer seperti Tafsir Al-Qur’an Al-‘Azhîm karya Ibnu Katsir, Fî Zhilal Al-Qur’an karya Sayyid Qutb, Tafsir Al-Misbah karya Quraish Shihab, serta Tafsir Al-Aayaat Al-Kauniyah karya Zaghlul An-Najjar. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa Al-Qur’an secara simbolik telah merujuk pada bagian otak manusia yang mengatur aspek moral, perilaku, dan pengambilan keputusan, yang dalam ilmu neurosains modern dikenal sebagai lobus frontal. Simpulan ini memperlihatkan relevansi antara pesan wahyu dan temuan sains kontemporer.]

Abstract

The Qur'an condemns money politics and gratuities as reprehensible practices. These are considered to involve the wrongful use of wealth (al-akl bi al-bâthil), al-suht (consuming wealth through manipulation of the truth), al-hadiyyah (gifts that have the potential to create conflicts of interest), al-ghulûl (misuse of authority), yasytarûna bihî tsamanan qalîla (manipulating the truth for worldly gain), and al-khiyânah (abuse of power). Most interpreters associate these key terms with bribery (risywah), which differs from gifts, a practice regarded as commendable in the Qur'an. However, caution is advised as the term "gift" has long been manipulated to mean bribery.Criticism of the above practices, because they contain actions that are contrary to maqâsid shari'ah (Islamic sharia principles) such as the principle of safeguarding property (hifzh al-mâl) and safeguarding religion (hifzh al-dîn). Money politics and gratuities are a means of spreading haram money. The practice turns money, which was initially something that could help people's lives, into something that is haram to use because of prohibited transactions. Money politics and gratuities are a form of neglect of religious teachings, if done means that someone is leaving their religion.

Abstract

Kesimpulan tesis ini menunjukkan bahwa Sayyid Quthb memandang keadilan sosial sebagai komitmen Islam untuk menciptakan keseimbangan dalam hukum, ekonomi, politik, dan sosial. Keadilan sosial dalam Islam, menurut Quthb, tidak hanya melibatkan distribusi kekayaan, tetapi juga pembebasan dari penindasan fisik dan mental, serta memberikan kesempatan yang setara bagi setiap individu untuk berkembang tanpa diskriminasi. Tiga elemen utama dalam konsep keadilan sosial Quthb adalah kebebasan individu, kesetaraan hak dan kewajiban, serta solidaritas sosial. Namun, pandangannya yang ingin mengubah sistem negara menjadi sistem Islam menghadapi perdebatan, terutama dalam konteks modern yang semakin plural. Meski demikian, konsep keadilan sosial ini tetap relevan dalam menghadapi ketimpangan ekonomi, eksploitasi, dan diskriminasi sosial, dengan menawarkan solusi melalui distribusi kekayaan yang adil, zakat, dan tanggung jawab kolektif. Konsep ini juga sejajar dengan pemikiran para filsuf seperti John Rawls, Karl Marx, Aristoteles, dan Socrates yang menekankan peran negara dalam mengatur keadilan sosial. Berbeda dengan pandangan Robert Nozick dan lainnya yang menekankan kebebasan individu tanpa intervensi negara, Quthb mendukung intervensi negara untuk mencapai keadilan sosial. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan riset kepustakaan untuk menganalisis tafsir Sayyid Quthb dalam *Fî Zhilâl al-Qur’ân* terkait keadilan sosial.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze M. Quraish Shihab's views on spiritual interaction between the deceased and the living in Tafsir al-Mishbah. This issue is highly urgent because the debate surrounding the soul and the afterlife has existed since the time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and continues to be a polemic to this day. To answer this question, a qualitative research method with a library research approach was used. Primary data came from Tafsir al-Mishbah, where the Quranic verses about the soul were analyzed thematically. Secondary data were obtained from various classical and contemporary tafsir books, hadith books, and books on interpretation methodology to provide a comprehensive understanding. The results show that, according to M. Quraish Shihab, humans are bidimensional beings. Death is not the end of existence, but rather a transition from the mundane realm to the Barzakh realm, where the soul remains alive. Although human knowledge is very limited regarding the unseen realm, interaction between the souls of the living and the deceased is possible, especially through dreams. In conclusion, M. Quraish Shihab argues that souls in the Barzakh realm remain alive and conscious, and can interact with other souls, although in a different way from communication in the physical world.
