Abstract

Muhammad Arkoun, one of the modern Islamic thinkers, considers that the stagnation in the thinking of Muslims is still struggling with religious issues and has not moved from ready-made thoughts and without being assisted by thoughts that are initiative in accordance with current circumstances. The purpose of this study is to reveal how Arkoun offers his methodological study of the theory of reading the Quran, as well as how the correlation between the theory offered with the world of interpretation today. Basically, Arkoun has a desire for Muslims to become inclusive and tolerant people so that exclusive and intolerant thinking is dismantled and frozen. the issue of reading the Qur'an, Arkoun states that the Qur'an provides an infinite possibility of meaning. The appearance of a verse will always bring new interpretations, never certain and closed to a single interpretation. Arkoun's proposal is certainly a bold study in his reading of the Qur'an, because in it he re-questions the essence of revelation as the tresendent word of God and the discourse of revelation as a form of kalam in the immanent plain. Not a few Arkoun adopted some contemporary western science in interpreting the Qur'an, both linguistically, historically, anthropologically and others. These interpretive efforts have produced new interpretations that have never been done by Muslim scientists before.

Abstract

The Thematic Interpretation of Religious Moderation (TTMA) published by the Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs in 2022 represents a significant shift in the discourse of religious moderation by explicitly integrating state-related concepts into Qur’anic interpretation. Unlike previous studies that predominantly frame moderation through ethical-religious principles such as wasathiyyah, ‘adl, and tasāmuh, TTMA reformulates moderation by incorporating state-oriented terms (ulū al-amr, balad, sha‘b, qawm), thereby constructing a distinctive state–religion synergy. This study addresses two central questions: (1) how are state principles articulated in TTMA’s interpretation of selected Qur’anic verses and (2) what conceptual model of the state’s role in religious moderation is proposed. Employing qualitative library research, his study analyzes TTMA’s Qur’anic interpretations using Talal Asad’s framework of discursive tradition and power to situate them within their socio-historical and political contex. The findings reveal three core state principles embedded in TTMA: national commitment, internalization of the state’s mediating role, and critical religious reasoning toward state authority. These principles collectively construct a moderation paradigm that emphasizes dialogical cooperation between religion and the state. This study contributes a novel perspective by showing that TTMA advances a moderate-humanist discourse positioning the state as an enabling actor in fostering religious harmony.
