Abstract

The study of war or qitāl in the Qur'an often causes controversy, primarily because some circles still associate verses of jihad with violence or terrorism. This indicates a gap in understanding that needs to be bridged through in-depth tafsir (exegesis) studies. This research aims to analyze the concept of war in the Qur'an through a comparative study of two tafsirs: Tafsir Al-Mishbah by Quraish Shihab and Tafsir Al-Muharrar Al-Wajiz by Ibn Athiyyah. The method used is qualitative research based on a literature study with a thematic and comparative approach. The results show that both mufassirs (exegetes) agree that war in Islam is defensive in nature, oriented toward justice, and limited by humanitarian values. War is not intended as a means of aggression but as a last resort for self-defense and the protection of religious freedom. However, differences are observed in the emphasis: Tafsir Al-Mishbah highlights the contextual, moral, and spiritual aspects more, while Tafsir Al-Muharrar Al-Wajiz tends to emphasize the legal side of fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) and linguistic debates. This study contributes by demonstrating how contextual-moral and fiqh-linguistic approaches complement each other in constructing a holistic Qur’anic understanding of war.

Abstract

This paper aims to shed light on some of the financial and ethical purposes of Surah Al-Nisa. This Surah had a significant role in transforming the convictions of the pre-Islamic society after many of them became Muslim in not being exposed to the financial transactions of the vulnerable group in the Islamic society through economic and administrative empowerment for them. These verses also come in response to difficult circumstances faced by vulnerable women, orphans, and children and the robbery of their financial rights. This research uses the inductive method to observe the financial verses in Surah Al-Nisa. Then relies on the analytical approach to study and discuss these verses in their moral purposes in Surah Al-Nisa. One of the research's most important findings is that Surah Al-Nisa contains many economic and ethical goals. The first is achieving complete support for the weak in the Muslim community. The first category of these vulnerable people is the orphans; by changing the convictions of parents and guardians and waiving arrogant social restrictions. Furthermore, these verses contain some plans and rehabilitation courses that afflict orphans and the vulnerable to show full awareness to carry out their own interests. In addition, these verses teach how to manage their affairs to obtain independence in financial transactions and not to exercise injustice against them and infringement on their Finance rights and consume it.
