Abstract

This study focuses on the methodology employed by Ismail Al-Ascholiy in his interpretation of Safīnah Kalla Sayaʾlamūn fī Tafsīr Shaikhinā Maimūn. As a tafsir text that emerges from KH Maimun Zubair’s interpretive transcripts, this work offers a new nuance and appears somewhat unfamiliar within the spectrum of Indonesian tafsir. Hence, it serves as an appealing locus for research on Indonesian tafsir, given the absence of a comprehensive methodological study on this particular tafsir text. To examine the methodology of Safīnah Kalla Sayaʾlamūn fī Tafsīr Shaikhinā Maimūn, this research draws upon Islah Gusmian’s theoretical framework of tafsir book methodology and employs a qualitative approach in the form of content analysis. The findings indicate that Safīnah is presented thematically. In clarifying its verses, the tafsir tends to explain them globally using a popular writing style, which does not fulfill formal academic standards. This is because it was neither intended for academic purposes nor written under the auspices of any institutional affiliation. Judging by its method, this tafsir adopts a contextual approach by incorporating historical elements and reason, thereby producing a distinctly social nuance in its interpretation.

Abstract

This article aims to examine the interpretation of Q.S. Al-Mā’idah (5): 38 regarding the cutting off of hands from Fazlur Rahman’s perspective. Specifically, this research focuses on the context of Indonesia as the main study area. Rahman is a contemporary Islamic thinker who introduced a groundbreaking approach to reading and understanding the Qur’an in line with modern contexts. His thought process is known as the Double Movement. The method employed in this article is qualitative, utilizing library studies. The analyzed data is presented in the form of descriptive narrative. This study identifies two significant findings: first, from the perspective of the ratio legis, the purpose of the hand-cutting verse is deterrence. Second, in the context of Indonesia, the punishment of cutting off hands is replaced with imprisonment, which appears to be more humane.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the mechanisms and authority underlying K.H. Maimun Zubair’s interpretations as reflected in Tafsir Safīnah Kallā Saya’lamūn, a work documented by his student, Ismail Al-Ascholīy. Mbah Moen’s interpretations are often perceived as deeply intertwined with contextual nuances, yet the factors influencing these interpretations and the processes involved in their formulation remain insufficiently examined. This research seeks to bridge this gap by uncovering the intricate processes behind his interpretative approach, particularly concerning contemporary themes. Employing qualitative methods with a literature-based analysis, the study reveals that multifaceted dimensions, including historical and psychological contexts shape Mbah Moen’s interpretations. His engagement with a conducive intellectual environment fosters a contextual interpretative framework that aligns with modern phenomena. Furthermore, his interpretations are deeply rooted in the pesantren tradition, which significantly informs his intellectual orientation. Within this framework, the authority of the Qur’an, historical narratives, and classical exegetical works remains pivotal. Nonetheless, Mbah Moen adeptly integrates modern perspectives into his interpretations, demonstrating a capacity to contextualize Qur’anic texts in ways that transcend conventional exegetical paradigms.

Abstract

This article intends to examine the form of influence of Abū Ḥayyān al-Andalusīy (d. 745 AH) on Ibn 'Aṭiyah (d. 542 AH) in his interpretive work al-Baḥr al-Muḥīṭ fī al-Tafsīr. This research uses qualitative methods through library studies using Gadamer's influence theory approach. Data sources in the article include primary sources and secondary sources. The primary data source is the main material object in the research, namely Al-Baḥru al-Muḥīṭ fī Tafsīr by Abū Ḥayān al Andalusīy and tafsir Al-Muḥarrar al-Wajīz. This article starts from an assumption that influence in a tradition of thought is a necessity that cannot be denied. Every thought is always in the shadow of certain situations and conditions which can form patterns of thinking and reading of texts, or in Gadamer's theory what is called an awareness of historical influence. This paper finds that Abū Ḥayyān's interpretation is heavily influenced by Ibn 'Aṭiyah in several aspects, ranging from methodology to substance. This conclusion came after the author traced these two interpretations and found that this influence could be seen in aspects of the use of history, language, qiraat, and Islamic law.

Abstract

The study of hadith in the Islamic scientific tradition so far tends to give a larger portion to the sanad aspect than the matan. As a result, criticism of matan hadith is less methodologically developed. In fact, matan is the core of the substance of the hadith that determines the main meaning and message. The validity of matan is very crucial in maintaining the integrity of Islamic teachings. The two main loci in matan criticism that are often used as indicators of defects are shādh and 'illah. However, the implementation of criticism of these two elements has not been standardized in a consistent and structured evaluative system. This article aims to explore the principles of the validity of matan hadith according to classical and contemporary scholars, with a primary focus on the elements of shādh (irregularities) and 'illah (hidden defects). This study uses a qualitative approach with a literature study method. Data sources are taken from methodological literature such as the works of Ajjāj al-Khaṭīb, Nūr al-Dīn Itr, Shuhudi Ismail, as well as contemporary thought on the criticism of matan hadith. The results show that although the conditions for the absence of shādhz and 'illah are widely known, the practice of matan criticism is often still intuitive and not based on a solid methodological framework. This article finds that many matan hadiths that are considered valid because their sanad are strong, but they are substantially problematic, either because they contradict the Qur'an, common sense, and historical context. This study recommends six practical steps for matan criticism: (1) verification of sanad, (2) linguistic analysis, (3) inter-matan muqāranah, (4) content analysis, (5) maqāṣid al-syarī'ah approach, and (6) contextualization through asbāb al-wurūd. This approach is expected to be a more objective, scientific, and relevant system of eye criticism in answering contemporary challenges.

Abstract

This study examines Fatima Mernissi's thoughts on misogynistic hadiths and their relevance to women's leadership in the context of Islam. Mernissi, as a feminist thinker, challenged traditional interpretations of hadith that were considered degrading to women, as she stated in her book "Women and Islam: A Historical and Theological Enquiry." Mernissi argues that there is a defect in the hadith because its message contradicts common sense, particularly in sidelining the role of women as leaders and failing to provide public breadth. Departing from this reasoning, she criticized hadiths with misogynistic undertones concerning their narrators and meanings. This study employs a qualitative approach that includes descriptive analysis and the figure study method. From the results of this research, the author identified two major points in Fatima Mernissi's thought: First, she analyzes the text of the hadith using a historical and methodological approach. Second, the methodology that Mernissi applies is based on Ulūm al-Ḥadīth, which aids her in refuting misogynistic hadiths. She does this when determining whether to accept or reject a hadith. Regarding the understanding of hadith, Mernissi applies a historical approach.

Abstract

he purpose of this writing is to examine the orthodoxy perspective in the Al-Bayan Fi Ma’rifati Ma’ani Alquran commentary written by KH Shodiq Hamzah from Semarang. Shodiq Hamzah is an intellectual figure in the pesantren community, holding a prominent position within the societal system. The conclusion is based on the fact that this commentary was written at the request of the hajj congregation he led, and his position as a spiritual guide (mursyid) in the Thariqah order. As a pesantren scholar, the tradition in pesantren education, which consistently strives to maintain the orthodoxy of religious teachings through an intellectual network (sanad), is abstracted in his commentary. The "Al-Bayan" commentary reflects the pesantren's orthodox tradition, where orthodox religious understanding is maintained to avoid heterodox views. By utilizing John B. Henderson's conceptualization of orthodoxy, this study concludes that the "Al-Bayan" commentary tends to orthodox views. This is demonstrated through various references to the works of Salaf scholars that he incorporates as sources for his interpretation. His background as a pesantren intellectual, connected with the scholars of the Haramain, significantly influences his interpretive style. However, the orthodoxy in Shodiq's interpretations is not extreme; it appears tolerant and moderate, avoiding criticism or discrediting differing opinions.

Abstract

This research aims to examine whether the pesantren interpretation, particularly the interpretation of KH. Maimoen Zubair in Safīnah Kallā Saya’lamūn, is still trapped in textuality and repetition, and to position this interpretation within the typology of modern exegesis. Using a qualitative method based on content analysis, this study maps the characteristics of KH. Maimoen Zubair’s exegesis in relation to the needs of the modern Muslim community and measures it against the framework of modern exegesis as mapped by J.M.S. Baljon, J.J.G. Jansen, Johanna Pink, Pieter Coppens, and Mun’im Sirry. The results of the study indicate that KH. Maimoen Zubair’s exegesis successfully breaks free from the textuality and repetition often associated with pesantren interpretations. His interpretations respond to contemporary issues such as environmental exploitation, Quran translation, and technological development, offering practical and relevant solutions. Additionally, within the framework of modern exegesis, this interpretation is classified as "orthodox yet modern," integrating traditional approaches with a progressive and adaptive vision for addressing contemporary challenges. This study affirms that pesantren exegesis has great potential to become a dynamic and contextual space for interpretation, contributing significantly to the discourse of modern exegesis while remaining rooted in traditional values.

Abstract

This study investigates the transformation of the Javanese ruwat ritual into ruwat santri, a symbolic Islamization that integrates Qur'anic recitation, while preserving local cultural traditions. It explores the social, spiritual and affective dimensions of the ritual using Weber’s social action theory and its implications for interfaith harmony and local religious practice The research adopts a qualitative-descriptive fieldwork design, including participant observation, in-depth interviews with religious leaders and ritual practitioners and ritual text documentation. The data analysis combines the Living Qur’an approach to understand the embodiment and meaning of Qur’anic recitation within this ritual context. Findings indicate that the transformation of Ruwat Jawa into Ruwat Santri constitutes a symbolic Islamization that preserves local cultural roots while embedding Quranic values into the ritual. Viewed through Weber’s framework, this practice integrates inherited tradition, emotional-spiritual experience, religious value commitment, and strategic adaptation to socio-economic realities. Community reception of the Quran in this context is performative and existential, treating it not merely as a sacred text but as a spiritual agent of blessing, protection and healing. The novelty of this study lies in highlighting the Quran as the primary actor in ritual transformation, surpassing previous studies that mainly focused on cultural acculturation. Practically, these findings have implications for cultural da‘wah strategies, tradition preservation aligned with Islamic law and the promotion of interfaith harmony. This research affirms that integrating Qur’anic values into local traditions fosters a contextual religiosity, enriching the discourse on the Living Qur’an in Indonesia. Abstrak Penelitian ini mengkaji transformasi ritual ruwat dalam tradisi Jawa menjadi ruwat santri, sebuah bentuk Islamisasi simbolik yang mengintegrasikan pembacaan Al-Qur’an sambil tetap melestarikan tradisi budaya lokal. Studi ini mengeksplorasi dimensi sosial, spiritual, dan afektif dari ritual tersebut dengan menggunakan teori tindakan sosial Max Weber, serta implikasinya bagi kerukunan antaragama (interfaith harmony) dan praktik keagamaan lokal. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain kerja lapangan kualitatif-deskriptif, meliputi observasi partisipatif, wawancara mendalam dengan tokoh agama dan pelaku ritual, serta dokumentasi teks ritual. Analisis memadukan pendekatan Living Qur’an untuk memahami perwujudan dan makna pembacaan Al-Qur’an dalam konteks ritual ini. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa transformasi ruwat Jawa menjadi ruwat santri merupakan Islamisasi simbolik yang mempertahankan akar budaya lokal sekaligus menyematkan nilai-nilai Qur’ani ke dalam ritual. Dalam kerangka teori Weber, praktik ini mengintegrasikan tradisi warisan, pengalaman emosional-spiritual, komitmen terhadap nilai-nilai agama, dan adaptasi strategis terhadap realitas sosial-ekonomi. Penerimaan masyarakat terhadap Al-Qur’an dalam konteks ini bersifat performatif dan eksistensial, menempatkannya bukan hanya sebagai teks suci, tetapi juga sebagai agen spiritual pembawa berkah, perlindungan, dan penyembuhan. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada penekanan Al-Qur’an sebagai aktor utama dalam transformasi ritual, melampaui kajian-kajian sebelumnya yang umumnya berfokus pada akulturasi budaya. Secara praktis, temuan ini memiliki implikasi bagi strategi dakwah berbasis budaya, pelestarian tradisi yang selaras dengan syariat Islam, serta penguatan kerukunan antaragama. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa integrasi nilai-nilai Qur’ani ke dalam tradisi lokal membentuk religiositas kontekstual, sekaligus memperkaya wacana Living Qur’an di Indonesia..

Abstract

Background and Objectives: This article examines the epistemological shift in the tradition of Qur’anic exegesis within Indonesian pesantren in the 21st century, marked by the transition from the use of Pegon script—a localized adaptation of the Arabic script—toward the production of tafsir texts in formal Arabic (fushah). Historically, Pegon functioned not only as a tool for religious instruction but also as a cultural symbol of epistemic autonomy. However, growing engagement with global Islamic scholarly networks has prompted pesantren scholars to reconfigure their knowledge production practices. Methods: This study aims to investigate the symbolic and epistemic dimensions of this transformation in order to understand the evolving position of pesantren within the transnational landscape of Islamic knowledge. Utilizing Norman Fairclough’s model of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), the research analyzes four contemporary tafsir texts composed within the pesantren tradition: Safīnah Kallā Saya’lamūn, Hidayatul Qur’an, Firdaus al-Na’im, and Risālah al-Mūjizah. Main Findings: the use of formal Arabic serves not only as a means of communication but also as an epistemic strategy to reaffirm continuity with classical Islamic scholarship while achieving legitimacy within modern academic contexts. These tafsir texts adopt conservative exegetical methods yet are presented in formats aligned with global academic standards. Contribution: this study lies in its demonstration of how contemporary pesantren tafsir embodies an ongoing negotiation between local identity, traditional authority, and the demands of transnational Islamic scholarly discourse. Conclusion: This transformation highlights the pesantren’s active role in reshaping Islamic epistemology in the global era.
