Abstract

The Isyari interpretation, often taken by Sufi scholars, can be classified into one of the divisions of interpretation according to its source. This category includes the interpretations by al-Ma'tsũr (interpretation based on tradition) and bi ar-ra'y (interpretation based on logic). The Isyari interpretation is pursued by exploring the implicit or inner meanings in the Qur'an. However, the interpretation of Sufi groups fundamentally differs from the interpretation of the Bãthiniyyah group, although both seek to uncover the inner meanings of the Qur'an. Understanding the Qur'an by delving into implicit meanings is not a new issue in the Islamic treasury. Still, it has emerged since the companions' time and continued to evolve in subsequent periods. Several verses of the Qur'an and hadith also depict that the Qur'an can be understood explicitly and implicitly. Nevertheless, the controversy about Sufi interpretation continues; some allow it, while others condemn it.

Abstract

Within the Quran, the directive to convey appreciation is closely linked with the directive to engage in the remembrance of Allah (zikr), underscoring the importance of the role of gratitude. Scholars, particularly those within the Sufi tradition, exhibit diversity in their interpretations of gratitude, yet they collectively aim to consecrate all gifts from Allah exclusively to the path that pleases Him. To further comprehend the core of gratitude, this composition seeks to probe into Imam al-Qusyairi's perspective on the concept within the Tafsir Lathaif al-Isyarat. Utilizing a descriptive-analytical approach rooted in content analysis, al-Qusyairi's stance on gratitude can be distilled into two key points: the fundamental meaning of gratitude and how gratitude is expressed. The gratitude of a servant involves praising Allah and consistently recalling the kindness bestowed upon them, applying it in ways that align with Allah's pleasure. Conversely, the gratitude ascribed to Allah encompasses praising and recognizing His servants who have performed virtuous acts in obedience to Him. Modes of expressing gratitude can manifest through verbal articulation, physical deeds, and sincere sentiments, each corresponding to distinct levels of gratitude.

Abstract

The interpretation of Kawniyyah verses in Haqā’iqu at-Tafsīr by Abu ‘Abdirrahmān as-Sulamī highlights the dialogue between modern scientific approaches and the Sufistic-Isyārī style. This study employs a qualitative library research method, with content analysis and a thematic approach, to examine verses concerning the sun, moon, earth, mountains, rivers, and stars. Primary data were obtained from the text of Haqā’iqu at-Tafsīr, while secondary data came from literature on Isyārī tafsir and scientific interpretation of Kawniyyah verses. The findings show that as-Sulamī interprets cosmic phenomena not only as physical realities but also as spiritual symbols: the sun as al-ma'rīfah illuminating bodily faculties, the moon as al-uns purifying intentions, mountains as saints stabilising the soul, rivers as organs of remembrance, and stars as lights guiding the heart. This interpretation is presented in the form of parables, thus not negating the zhāhir meaning nor falling into the blameworthy tafsir bi al-ra’y. The study identifies a research gap: previous works tend to separate Isyārī from scientific tafsir. In contrast, this research offers a dialogical reading that places Sufi cosmology alongside modern scientific discourse on Kawniyyah verses. The novelty of this study lies in its systematic mapping of Kawniyyah verse interpretations in Haqā’iqu at-Tafsīr and in its demonstration of the potential for developing contemporary tafsir studies that integrate revelation, spirituality, and scientific knowledge
