Abstract

Surah Al-Ikhlas, as one of the chapters in the Quran, consists of four concise yet profoundly meaningful verses. This particular surah delves into the attributes of Allah and holds a central focus in the epistemology of Sufi interpretation, especially in the practice of tariqah by Sufi practitioners. This research aims to unveil the messages contained within Surah Al-Ikhlas through the epistemological study of Sufi interpretation by Sahl al-Tustari. The surah is not merely regarded as a sacred text but also as a guide to understanding spirituality and shaping an excellent personal character, particularly in the context of Sufism. While various approaches to Surah Al-Ikhlas have been explored in previous research, there is a gap in exploring the epistemology of Sufi interpretation by Sahl al-Tustari. By comprehending his views and interpretations of Surah Al-Ikhlas, it is anticipated that a profound understanding of the spiritual dimension and personal experience in comprehending the essence of the Quranic text can be achieved. The research methodology involves analyzing the works of Sahl al-Tustari, focusing on the maudhu’i method and Sufi approach. The findings of this research are expected to contribute to a general understanding of the epistemology of Sufi interpretation, particularly in the context of Surah Al-Ikhlas, and uncover the spiritual values within the Quranic text.

Abstract

This study examines the comparison between classical and modern exegetical approaches within the Qur’anic interpretive tradition. Classical tafsir is primarily rooted in authoritative narrations through tafsir bi al-ma’tsur and tafsir bi al-ra’yi, emphasizing chains of transmission, linguistic analysis, and the views of early Muslim scholars. In contrast, modern tafsir emerged in response to socio-political and intellectual changes in the 19th and 20th centuries, with figures such as Muhammad Abduh and Rashid Rida leading the movement. Modern exegetical approaches highlight contextual, thematic, and maqashid-based interpretations aimed at addressing contemporary societal challenges, including social issues, scientific developments, and humanistic concerns. This study concludes that the primary distinction between these approaches lies in their interpretive orientation: classical tafsir is textual and traditional, whereas modern tafsir is rational, dynamic, and attuned to the realities of modern life. Nevertheless, both approaches contribute significantly to the evolving epistemology of Qur’anic interpretation and collectively enrich the understanding of the Qur’an’s universal message.
