Abstract

This article examines the influence of Egypt and Turkey on the Mushaf Pusaka of the Republic of Indonesia as the first state-issued Qur’an. This research is a qualitative study with a philological approach. The philological approach used does not aim to present the best edition of the edited text but rather to compare the text and writing style of the Mushaf Pusaka with previously written manuscripts. The results of the study show that the mushaf initiated by Abu Bakar Atjeh and Soekarno has similarities with two important mushafs in the Islamic world, namely the Mushaf Mesir published in 1924 and the Mushaf Bahriyyah from Turkey. Although during the writing of the Mushaf Pusaka (1948–1960), the majority of Indonesian Muslims still used the Mushaf Bombay, Salim Fachry, the author of the Mushaf Pusaka, did not refer to the Mushaf Bombay in his work. Instead, he used the 1924 Mushaf Mesir as the main reference in terms of text, such as rasm, qirā’āt, and ḍabṭ. Meanwhile, in terms of the number of pages and lines per page, the Mushaf Pusaka shows similarities with the Mushaf Bahriyyah from Turkey. Based on the results of data analysis, it can be concluded that the influence of Egypt and Turkey in the Mushaf Pusakaoccurred due to Salim Fachry’s educational background in Egypt and his mastery of the rules of calligraphy that were rapidly developing in Turkey.

Abstract

The main academic issue in this article is how contemporary philosophy can contribute to the study of religion, particularly Islamic philosophy, by freeing religious thought from the constraints of dogmatic theology. This article discusses efforts to free God from the shackles of theology in the continental and analytic philosophical traditions. Beginning with Meister Eckhart’s prayer expressing a desire to be freed from God, this article traces the connection between Derrida’s deconstruction and logocentrism, which views God as an entity bound by the limitations of language. Based on the thoughts of Derrida, Lyotard, and Irigaray, this article argues that the desire for a God that transcends metaphysics is rooted in the limitations of language in describing the Divine. The research method used is a conceptual analysis of contemporary philosophical theories and their application in the context of Islamic philosophy. This research affirms that true thinking is not only about thinking about God but also about experiencing a direct encounter with Him, where human consciousness is surprised by His presence. The latest trends in philosophy show an effort to liberate Islamic philosophy from orthodox theology so that in the future, religious philosophy can develop by celebrating heterodox understandings and opening space for more diverse religious experiences.
