Abstract

This research aims to portray various Qur'anic interpretations of the word al-Ẓān based on the projection of signs through Charles Sanders Pierce's semiotic approach. The author limits the object of research to Q.S. Al-Hujurat 12, based on the interpretation of classical to contemporary mufassirs. This research is included in the type of literature (library research), using descriptive-analytical method to identify the interpretation of al-Ẓān in the books of interpretation and then apply it with the concept of trichotomy (representament, object, interpretant). Pierce's semiotics sees a sign as always evolving and continuous in nature, as far as new interpretations are found, in this context other semantic meanings of the word az-Ẓān. The findings in this study confirm that prejudice (az-Ẓān) in Q.S. Al-Hujurat 12 has various meanings, namely: the spread of bad news, good prejudice, the boundary between belief and doubt, and bad prejudice. These meanings descend into moral values that are relevant to the current context. In the current context, spreading bad news is similar to hoaxes and hate speech. Another portrait is seen in the phenomenon of overthinking, which is rooted in excessive prejudice, which certainly has negative implications for physical and psychological health.

Abstract

As ecological crises intensify globally, environmental themes have become prominent in contemporary Qur'anic exegesis (tafsir). However, ecological interpretation had its own distinct dynamics during the medieval period, even though environmental degradation was not as severe as in recent decades. The interpretation of nature protection in Qur'an Surah Al-A'raf [7]: 56 reveals diverse understanding among medieval scholars, challenging the notion that pre-modern interpretations were purely fragmentary or ideological. This study addresses two research questions: a) How was Q.S. Al-A'raf [7]: 56 interpreted ecologically in the medieval period? b) What hierarchical environmental ethics emerge from these medieval interpretations? Using qualitative methodology through literature review, this research focuses on the phrase "la tufsidu fi al-ardi" ("do not cause corruption on the earth"). The study analyzes interpretations from the ninth to fourteenth centuries as primary sources, employing Richard Sylvan and David Bennet's environmental ethics framework. The findings reveal three distinct interpretative approaches to the prohibition of earthly corruption: anthropocentric, ecocentric, and theocentric. The prevalence of theocentric interpretations demonstrates that theological argumentation remained central even when addressing material ecological issues. Environmental degradation was understood not merely as physical exploitation but as spiritual corruption resulting from human disregard for divine ordinances. This research contributes to understanding the continuity between pre-modern and modern ecological interpretations, suggesting the value of interdisciplinary approaches linking Islamic exegesis with contemporary environmental policy.

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.
