Abstract

Often human fitrah is interpreted as human potential in knowing good and bad, but if explored more deeply, human fitrah has a forming component. Tafsir alMisbah and alAzhar were chosen to unravel these components. Both of these interpretations have a uniqueness that is the use of adaby ijtima'i or societal style, but different angles of approach and orientation. Quraish Shihab tends to be systematic, structural, and psyco-sociological. Meanwhile, Hamka tends to be philosophical, Sufistic, and sociological. This research is qualitative research using literature review data. This research uses a comparative method. The research steps by explaining the concept of the study in general, then examined based on both interpretations referring to the object of the verse that can represent aspects of fitrah in detail. According to tafsir alMisbah, human nature is a facility from God for humans to recognise Him and obey Him. Meanwhile, according to the interpretation of al-Azhar, human nature is a means of acknowledging the existence of the Creator since humans can use reason. Dimensionally, human nature is divided into three parts, 1) fitrah jismiyyah, 2) fitrah nafsiyyah (i.) nafs, ii.) 'aql, iii.) qolb), 3) fitrah ruhiyyah. All three function differently but cannot operate partially, the combination of aspects collaborates to become fitrah.

Abstract

This article discusses the maqasid behind the “flexing” verses, as these five verses do not explicitly prohibit flexing as a promotional strategy. Meanwhile, in the present day, the proliferation of flexing content on social media serves as a promotional strategy to generate income. This issue is significant for reinterpreting the flexing verses so that they can address contemporary challenges and be considered in all aspects. Therefore, maqasidi exegesis is employed as an analytical tool to uncover the maqasid of the flexing verses and to identify the benefits and harms of flexing content on social media. Findings from this study: Flexing, taken literally, does not merely mention the prohibition of flexing during prayer and charity but encompasses all activities (both ritual and non-ritual acts of worship). Meanwhile, the maqasid behind the prohibition of flexing are to protect the religion (from hypocrisy, disbelief, and polytheism) and to protect the soul (from showing off, arrogance, and seeking fame). Based on an assessment of the benefits and harms of flexing content on social media, flexing as a promotional strategy is not permitted because it tends to be harmful to both oneself and others.
