Abstract

The Qur’an often employs words that appear to be synonyms but have subtle differences in meaning. Such is the case with the use of the terms bahr and yamm for the sea. This study explores why the Qur’an uses bahr in certain cases and yamm in others, with the hope of discovering the semantic meaning of bahr and its implications on the concept of mutaradif (synonyms) in the Qur’an. The inquiry is particularly relevant today, as the sea—an essential part of human life—is facing ecological dangers wrought by human actions. Adopting a qualitative library-research design, data were gathered from Qur’anic verses containing bahr yamm, classical and modern Arabic lexicons, and major tafsir works; analysis followed Izutsu’s semantic procedures (syntagmatic–paradigmatic mapping, synchronic–diachronic tracing, and worldview synthesis), with validity strengthened through source triangulation and peer/expert review. Using Toshihiko Izutsu’s semantic theory, this research analyzes the term bahr to identify its hidden meanings and its theological and ethical implications. Findings indicate a deliberate lexical differentiation: bahr extends beyond the physical sea toward divine taskhir, order, and benefit, whereas yamm appears predominantly in threat–punishment narratives. Taken together, the Qur’an does not employ near-synonyms interchangeably; this contrast clarifies Qur’anic diction and underpins a theological–ecoethical call to gratitude, restraint and responsible marine stewardship.

Abstract: Qasas Al-Qur ʻan is one of the main contents of the Qur'an that gives ibrah or lessons for humans. The existence of Muhkam verses and mutasyabih in the Qur'an makes mufassirs try to understand and look for the completeness of a success story not a few mufassirs who use infiltration in its interpretation in order to obtain complete information. This research is present as an effort to uncover infiltration in the commentary book Fath al-Qadir by as-Syaukani and study the implications of infiltration involvement in his interpretation aimed at the story of the prophet Yusuf. Suggestions used are hadith criticism and interpretation. The results of this study published about Fath al-Qadir's interpretation contain infiltration because the discovery of using the hadith dha'if, maudhu 'and israiliyyat, has implications for the interpretation of Ash-Syaukani which uses information available in the Koran and hadith and the ability to visit is valid with the invalid. Keywords: Infiltration; Ash-Syaukani; Tafsir Fath al-Qadir; Qasas Al-Qur`an; da'eef; maudhu; sahih. Abstrak Abstrak: Qasas Al-Qur`an merupakan salah satu pokok isi kandungan Al-Qur`an yang bertujuan memberikan ibrah atau pelajaran bagi manusia. Keberadaan ayat Muhkam dan mutasyabih dalam Al-Qur`an membuat para mufassir mencoba memahami dan mencari-cari kelengkapan dari suatu kisah sehingga tidak sedikit para mufassir yang terjebak pada infiltrasi dalam penafsirannya guna mendapatkan informasi yang lengkap. Penelitian ini hadir sebagai upaya mengungkap infiltrasi dalam kitab tafsir Fath al-Qadir karya as-Syaukani dan mengetahui implikasi dari kehadiran infiltrasi dalam tafsirnya terutama pada kisah nabi Yusuf. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah kritik hadis dan tafsir. Hasil dari penelitian ini membukitan bahwa tafsir Fath al-Qadir mengandung infiltrasi karena ditemukannya penggunaan hadis dha’if, maudhu’ dan israiliyyat, sehingga berimplikasi pada penafsiran Asy-Syaukani yang mengandung informasi yang tidak ada dalam Al-Qur`an dan hadis serta bercampunya riwayat sahih dengan yang tidak sahih. Kata kunci: Infiltrasi; Asy-Syaukani; Tafsir Fath al-Qadir; Qasas Al-Qur`an; dhaif; maudhu; sahih.
