Abstract

This study discusses the history of the authority of the kitab al-Kāfī in the canonization frame. The authority of a religious text is not formed instantly, but there are factors behind it, like the kitab al-Kāfī, which is the best book of hadith among the kutub al-arba'ah in the Shia community. These factors involve many parties and run for a long time. To see the process of canonizing the authority of kitab Al-Kāfī, this study uses Keith Ward's theory about the periodization of the development of religious scriptures in the world. This study discovers three findings. First, the condition of the Shia community which experienced a crisis of hadith literature in the 4th century made the book of Al-Kāfī quickly gain high authority because it became the need of society at that time. In addition, there are Shia scholars mainly from the Akhbāriah group who are aggressive in spreading, strengthening, and sanctifying the authenticity of the hadith of al-Kāfī. Kulaini's position as a marja' taqlid and the perfection of the systematic writing of al-Kāfī also helped strengthen his authority. Even al-Kāfī received recognition from Imam al-Mahdi (through his messenger), which is a book that meets the needs of the Shia community. Second, there are those rulers who support the canonization process of al-Kāfī's authority, including the rulers of Buwaihiah in the mutaqaddimīn era, the rulers of Ṣafawiah in the mutaakhirīn era, and perfected in the mu'aṣirīn era by the government of the Shia Republic of Iran.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze the childfree phenomenon from the perspective of Emile Durkheim's sociology and the view of the Qur'an, to understand the dynamics of social and religious values in Indonesian society. Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework refers to Durkheim's concepts such as social facts, organic solidarity, anomie, and collective morality, as well as classical and contemporary interpretations of the Qur'an on the value of heredity in Islam. Literature review: The literature review includes Durkheim's theory of social transformation and the mufasir's interpretation of the importance of heredity in Islam, both from classical (At-Thabari, Al-Qurtubi) and modern (Al-Misbah, Al-Azhar) interpretations. Method: This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with a literature study approach. Data were collected from literary sources such as the works of Emile Durkheim and classical and contemporary interpretations of the Qur'an. The analysis was carried out interpretively to understand the social and religious meaning of the childfree phenomenon in the context of Indonesian society. Results: The phenomenon of childfree reflects a change in values in modern society according to Durkheim, while in Islam heredity is considered a mandate and part of worship, as affirmed in various interpretations. Implications: The childfree phenomenon needs to be understood as a reflection of social and spiritual change, which demands an integrative approach between individual freedom and collective values. Novelty: This research is unique in that it combines sociological and theological analysis in examining the issue of child freedom, offering a cross-disciplinary perspective that is relevant to the context of Indonesian society.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to explore the concept of religious tolerance in Buya Hamka's Tafsir Al-Azhar and compare it with the interpretations of other classical and contemporary mufasir such as Ibn Kathir, Al-Maraghi, Wahbah al-Zuhaili, and M. Quraish Shihab, to reaffirm the Qur'an's instructions on peaceful interreligious relations in a pluralistic society, especially in Indonesia. Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework used involves a thematic and contextual interpretation approach to the Qur'an, paying attention to aspects of religious freedom, social coexistence, and multiculturalism values. Literature review: A literature review involves an analysis of classical and contemporary works of interpretation, as well as literature that discusses thematic interpretations and issues of religious diversity. Methods: The method applied in this study is a qualitative-descriptive method with a literature study approach and content analysis of six verses of the Qur'an related to religious tolerance (QS. Al-Baqarah: 256, Al-Kafirun: 1–6, Yunus: 40–41, Yunus: 99–100, Mumtahanah: 8–9, and Al-Maidah: 5). Results: The results of the study show that Hamka prioritizes a contextual and responsive interpretation approach to social reality, different from the more textual and theological interpretations of some other scholars. Hamka and Quraish Shihab's interpretations stand out for being inclusive and dialogical, demonstrating Islam's compatibility with the values of democracy and multiculturalism. Implications: Implications of these findings include the importance of a social interpretation approach in building inclusive education, developing tolerant policies, and encouraging interfaith dialogue. Novelty: The novelty of this research lies in its contribution to the development of thematic and contextual interpretive methods to respond to contemporary challenges, as well as in showing that socially oriented interpretive approaches can be the foundation for harmony in a pluralistic society.

Abstract

Objective:  This study aims to examine contemporary issues regarding career women from the perspective of Qur'anic interpretation. The main focus is to examine Quraish Shihab's views in Tafsir Al-Misbah on women working in the public sphere, as well as analyze them through the theory of double movement developed by Fazlur Rahman. Theoretical framework:  Using Fazlur Rahman's theory of double movement, which emphasizes historical analysis of verse and its reinterpretation in contemporary social contexts, to understand the role of women in Islam in a relevant way. Literature review: Previous studies are still dominant in normative and fiqh. This study fills the gap by combining Fazlur Rahman's theory and contemporary interpretation of Quraish Shihab in discussing career women thematically. Methods:  Using a qualitative method based on literature study, with the main source of Tafsir Al-Misbah and literature on the theory of double movement. The analysis was carried out in a descriptive-analytical manner. Result:  The results of the study show that both Quraish Shihab and Fazlur Rahman support women's right to have a career and contribute to the public sphere, while maintaining Islamic Sharia values. In his commentary, Quraish Shihab emphasizes that Islam does not prohibit women from working, as long as they adhere to the moral and ethical principles set by the religion. Implications: This contextual interpretation can be a theological foundation in supporting gender equality and the participation of Muslim women in the workforce. Novelty: Integrating the theory of double movement with the interpretation of Quraish Shihab, specifically in the issue of career women, offers a new approach in the study of contemporary thematic interpretation.

Abstract

Objective: This research aims to explore the core meaning, semantic relationships, and conceptual scope of al-Thahur (purity) in the Qur’an, encompassing both physical and spiritual dimensions. Theoretical framework: This study adopts the semantic approach of Toshihiko Izutsu to analyze the concept of al-Thahur in the Qur'an, focusing on the relationships between words and their meanings in the sacred text. Literature review: Previous studies have explored the concept of purity in Islam, often focusing on physical purity through ritual acts such as ablution and purification from impurity. However, fewer studies have investigated the spiritual dimensions of al-Thahur, which includes purification from sin, disbelief, and immoral traits. This research aims to fill this gap by examining both the physical and spiritual aspects of purity as presented in the Qur'an. Methods: A semantic analysis approach is employed, involving the collection of verses that mention the term al-Thahur. The analysis covers the context of these verses, syntagmatic and paradigmatic relationships, and interpretation based on classical and contemporary tafsir literature, as well as linguistic references. Results: The study finds that al-Thahur in the Qur’an extends beyond physical purity, such as cleansing from hadas and najis, to include spiritual purity, such as the purification of the soul from sin, polytheism, and immoral behavior. The concept is used in various contexts, including self-purification through worship, cleansing the heart from doubts, and the purification of faith. Implications: This research highlights the holistic nature of purity in Islam, linking physical cleanliness with moral and spiritual integrity. The findings underscore the importance of al-Thahur as a foundational concept in Islamic teachings, guiding not only ritualistic practices but also personal morality and spirituality. Novelty: The novelty of this study lies in its comprehensive analysis of al-Thahur from both physical and spiritual perspectives, using a semantic approach to uncover deeper insights into the Qur'anic concept of purity. This research bridges the gap between physical cleanliness and spiritual integrity in the understanding of purity within Islamic teachings.

Abstract

Religious diversity in Indonesia frequently raises challenges related to freedom of belief and interreligious relations. One Qur’anic verse often cited in this discourse is QS. Al-Baqarah (2):256, which explicitly rejects coercion in matters of faith. However, interpretations of this verse vary, and not all emphasize its relevance for contemporary plural societies. This study aims to analyze the interpretation of QS. Al-Baqarah verse 256 in Tafsir at-Tanwir and to examine its implications for strengthening religious tolerance in Indonesia. This research employs a qualitative library research method with a descriptive-analytical approach. Primary data are derived from Tafsir at-Tanwir, while secondary data include scholarly books and journal articles on Qur’anic interpretation and religious tolerance. The novelty of this study lies in its focus on Tafsir at-Tanwir as a modern Indonesian tafsir that integrates textual analysis with socio-contextual considerations of pluralism. The findings reveal that Tafsir at-Tanwir firmly positions freedom of belief as a theological and ethical principle, asserting that faith cannot be imposed and that religious diversity is part of divine will (sunnatullah). This interpretation provides a normative foundation for inclusive, dialogical, and peaceful interreligious relations. In conclusion, the interpretation of QS. Al-Baqarah 256 in Tafsir at-Tanwir contributes significantly to the discourse on religious moderation and offers a relevant framework for strengthening tolerance in Indonesia’s multicultural society.

Abstract

The 2019 Revised Edition of the Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs' Qur'an translation occupies a central place in shaping the religious understanding of Indonesian Muslims, so that each of its lexical choices carries wide consequences. This article examines a problem that has not been systematically addressed in the existing critique of the official translation, namely the mismatch between the asbab al-nuzul context and the chosen translational equivalents. The problem is illustrated through a single, highly representative case: QS an-Nur [24]: 26, revealed within the episode of the Hadith al-Ifk. This is a qualitative library research that applies a layered analytical model integrating classical asbab al-nuzul reports (al-Wahidi and al-Suyuti), classical Arabic lexicography (al-Raghib, Ibn Manzur, Ibn Faris), and classical exegesis (al-Tabari, al-Zamakhshari, al-Razi, Ibn Kathir, al-Qurtbi). The findings show that the Ministry renders al-khabithat lil-khabithin in a literal-biological sense (“wicked women for wicked men”), whereas the intratextual context and the majority of classical exegetes support the al-kalimat reading (“evil speech befits evil people”). The literal rendering severs the verse from the slander episode that occasioned its revelation and shifts its message from the domain of speech to that of marriage. The study concludes that, although the 2019 translation remains commendable, this verse requires either an interpretive (tafsiriyah) strategy or an optimisation of historical-contextual footnotes. Theoretically, the article proposes asbab al-nuzul as an operational parameter for evaluating Qur'anic translation.
