Abstract

The development of modern Qur’anic interpretation in Indonesia has been characterized by the emergence of thematic exegesis. In this case, chapter 30 of the Qur’an has drawn much attention, among them is Tafsir Al-Qur’an Juz 30 written by Zaini Dahlan. This work is quite interesting as it is written by an academic Muslim scholar, pedagogical in nature, and having attention much on poetical language of the Qur’an. By using the epistemological framework and theories of Qur’anic interpretation, this article aims to find the source, method, style, validity, and orientation of Zaini Dahlan’s interpretation. The article, then, argues that one of Zaini Dahlan’s contributions to the discourse of Indonesian Qur’anic studies lies on his attention to the poetic structure of the Qur’an which directed to strengthen theological and pedagogical aspects. In his epistemological structure, Dahlan uses various sources of knowledge most notably from the Qur’an, hadith, history, and scholars’ interpretation, which are generally coupled with the dominance of reason (bi al-ra’y) over narrations (bi al-ma’thur). In addition, Dahlan also applied the thematic method of surahs which is framed by the poetic nuances of the Qur’an. As for the measure of truth, Dahlan seems to apply three theories of validity, namely coherence, correspondence, and pragmatics.

Abstract

This study examines the translation of the Qur’an in the contemporary Western context, focusing on the post-September 11 tragedy. The translation of the Qur’an at this phase serves as a gateway for understanding Islam and plays a pivotal role in shaping the perception of Islam in Western society. Furthermore, these translations are intertwined with Islamic socio-political discourse. This study's primary objective is to analyze the development of methodological approaches in translating the Qur’an in the contemporary West and explore the production of Islamic discourse within these translations. Using textual and content analysis, this research posits that, firstly, the methodology of Qur’an translation in the contemporary West has witnessed significant advancement in methodological aspects. This can be observed through the transition from literal, interlineal, and polemical translations to more contextual and even reformist translations. Secondly, apart from being influenced by the socio-political landscape of Islam in the West, the translations of the Qur’an also contribute to the creation of Islamic discourse, particularly in shaping the perception of Qur’an translation in the contemporary Western context, which strives for openness, contemporaneity, and the restoration of Islam’s image and the Qur’an’s oral power.

Abstract

This paper delves into the exploration of economic principles within Qur’anic exegesis. The focus centers on the elucidation of economic equity by, Muhammad Amin al-Shinqiti, as expounded in his tafsir “Adwa’ al-Bayan fī Idah al-Qur’an bi al-Qur’an.” A key emphasis is placed on al-Shinqiti’s comprehensive analysis of economic equity within Surah al-Hasyr [59]: 7. Additionally, al-Shinqiti contextualizes the verse to argue that the booty (al-fay’), as mentioned in the verse, should be reclaimed and channeled into state revenues. Employing Hassan Hanafi’s social hermeneutics framework, this article draws the conclusion that al-Shinqiti critically evaluates both capitalist and socialist economic theories. Al-Shinqiti, through his interpretation, asserts that the fundamental essence of the verse is the eradication of favoritism, thus propelling the attainment of economic equity. Al-Shinqiti distinguishes economic equality from economic equity, contending that the former is an unattainable objective. Furthermore, he advocates for an Islamic economic system characterized by a limited free economy, impartial distribution of state resources, and a focus on the comprehensive welfare of society. This exploration sheds light on Al-Shinqiti’s nuanced perspective on economic principles and provides valuable insights into the Islamic economic framework.

Abstract

This article delves into the unequivocal prohibition of drunkenness and gambling in Islam, as elucidated in the Qur’an Surah al-Mā’idah [5]: 90-91. While the Quranic prohibition clearly labels certain actions as ‘rijs’ (abominable acts) and associates them with the deeds of the devil, contemporary scholars often prioritize historical and juridical analyses over examining the relevance of these verses in the present day. Thus, this article endeavors to enhance interpretation by situating the text within both its historical context and contemporary circumstances. By employing the ma‘nā-cum-maghzā approach, which equally considers the verse’s historical background and the contemporary reader’s context, the article posits that the prohibition on khamr (intoxicants) and all forms of gambling transcends mere restriction to constitute a ‘binding prohibition.’ This assertion is substantiated by the identification of inherent implications significantly correlated with these proscribed acts, encompassing the promotion of temporal respect, avoidance of diverse adverse impacts on health, economy, social relations, and religious facets, as well as a deterrent against arrogance and mutual reproach.

Abstract

The Qur'an is a holy book that contains many valuable lessons, requiring interpretation (tafsir) to understand its contents in depth. Ahmad Mustafa al-Maraghi, through his work Tafsir al-Mara>ghi>, presents one of the most remarkable interpretations with a social approach that is relevant to the needs of modern society. Meanwhile, Said Nursi, a contemporary scholar, offers a unique paradigm of scientific interpretation (tafsir 'ilmi) that emphasizes the essence of faith and monotheism, oriented toward the ultimate purpose of the hereafter. This study employs a library research method to explore and identify the novelty of scientific interpretation in the work Kulliyya>t Rasa>il al-Nu>r. The approach used in this research is tafsir s'ilmi. The findings reveal two main conclusions. First, Said Nursi's scientific interpretation emphasizes the essence of faith and monotheism with an eschatological orientation, differing from other scientific interpreters. Second, the novelty of tafsir 'ilmi proposed by Said Nursi is divided into three aspects: (1) in terms of its characteristics, it adopts a scientific-cum-sufistic style; (2) in its perspective and interpretation of nature, it applies two meanings, namely harfi and ismi; and (3) in terms of its impact and the interrelation between science and the Asma’ al-Husna, it fosters the integration of general sciences (science) and religious knowledge.

Abstract

Khamr, as an intoxicating substance, is explicitly prohibited in Islamic law due to its harmful effects on both individual and societal well-being. In Indonesia, the increasing number of khamr abuse cases has led to various social and health-related problems. Abid al-Jabiri, a contemporary Muslim intellectual, reexamines the prohibition of khamr through his nuzuli tafsir, offering a contextual and chronological understanding of the relevant Qur’anic verses. This study analyzes al-Jabiri’s nuzuli interpretation by applying a chronological approach to the verses on khamr prohibition (Q.S. al-Baqarah 2:219, al-Nisa’ 4:43, and al-Ma’idah 5:90–91), linking their stages of revelation with the sirah nabawiyyah. Using a library-based, descriptive-analytical method and the ijmali approach, the research traces the sequential development of the prohibition to uncover al-Jabiri’s juristic framework that integrates historical context with normative guidance. Through the lens of pragmatic truth theory, the study highlights the novelty of al-Jabiri’s nuzuli method, which contrasts with traditional, static interpretations by situating the verses within an evolving socio-political context. This reinterpretation offers a rational, adaptable, and socially responsive model for applying Islamic legal principles to contemporary issues, particularly concerning the regulation and understanding of intoxicants in modern Muslim societies.

Abstract

This article examines the historical-critical approach developed by Nicolai Sinai in Quranic studies. The main focus includes three methodological dimensions: literary coherence and secondary revision, inner-Qur’anic chronology, and intertextuality. Through a qualitative library research method, this study explores how Sinai's approach offers an empirical and systematic alternative to traditional and earlier Western historical-critical methods that are often accused of undermining Islamic orthodoxy. Sinai’s contribution fills a significant gap in contemporary Qur’anic hermeneutics by bridging classical Islamic interpretive traditions and modern critical methodologies. His framework offers a more nuanced and respectful engagement with the Qur’anic text, avoiding reductionist tendencies while encouraging deeper philological and literary analysis. The study reveals how Sinai’s moderate historical-critical model, grounded in textual data, can enrich both Western and Islamic scholarship in understanding the historical development, structure, and intertextual dialogue of the Qur’an.
