Abstract

QS al-Ḥujurāt [49]:13 is frequently invoked in discussions of ethical equality, particularly amid contemporary tensions involving race, class, and identity. Despite its prominence, studies that examine how the concept of taqwa is systematically constructed as a normative foundation for egalitarianism remain limited. This gap frames the present inquiry. Employing a qualitative library-based approach, the study applies thematic exegesis and comparative analysis to Anwār al-Tanzīl and Taysīr al-Karīm al-Raḥmān. The analysis proceeds through mapping the exegetical arguments, identifying hermeneutical divergences, and synthesizing their social and conceptual implications. Findings indicate that al-Bayḍāwī conceptualizes taqwa through a filological lens while simultaneously critiquing hierarchical Arab social structures, positioning taqwa as a theological mechanism that nullifies genealogical prestige and affirms the equality of human origins. In contrast, al-Saʿdī foregrounds the social dimension of taqwa as an ethical orientation that regulates interaction, strengthens solidarity, and curbs group dominance in plural societies. These differing emphases reveal a conceptual shift from taqwa as a spiritual category to a moral principle operative within social life. The study contributes a conceptual framework linking taqwa and egalitarianism and offers an interdisciplinary vantage point for contemporary justice-oriented scholarship.

Abstract

This article examines the relationship between the twilight phenomenon and mental health through an interpretative study of the Qur'an, particularly Surah An-Nur verse 35. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method using a library research approach, analyzing classical and contemporary tafsir to understand the symbolism of light (nūr) as a representation of divine guidance and spiritual illumination. The interpretative process highlights key metaphors in the versesuch as the niche (mishkāt), the lamp (miṣbāḥ), and the radiant lightinterpreted as symbols of inner clarity and faith. The exegetical findings are then correlated with scientific studies on the biological and psychological effects of twilight exposure. Biologically, evening light contributes to serotonin production and the regulation of circadian rhythms, which support emotional stability and reduce anxiety. Psychologically, contemplation of twilight fosters reflective awareness, gratitude, and inner calm. The structure of the discussion covers three main aspects: the interpretation of light symbolism in the verse, the biological mechanisms of light exposure, and its psychological implications for mental health. The study concludes that viewing twilight as a reflection of divine beauty can also function as a form of natural therapy that nurtures inner peace and mental well-being.
