Abstract

Apostasy in Islam has long been a controversial and sensitive issue, revealing the ongoing tension between classical Islamic jurisprudence and contemporary human rights principles. Traditional fiqh, particularly within classical Islamic legal texts, often prescribes harsh punishments for apostates, including the death penalty. In contrast, modern human rights frameworks emphasize freedom of religion and belief as non-negotiable, fundamental human rights. This article seeks to critically examine the legal status and punishment of apostasy through the dual lenses of fiqh siyasah (Islamic political jurisprudence) and international human rights discourse, using a normative-contextual approach grounded in maqāṣid al-sharī'ah (the higher objectives of Islamic law). The research adopts a qualitative method with library research as the main data collection technique. The findings suggest that classical juristic rulings on apostasy were shaped more by political and security considerations than purely theological concerns, particularly during the formative periods of Islamic governance. Viewed through the maqāṣid lens, these laws can be reinterpreted to prioritize justice, public welfare, and individual freedom. This article argues that reformulating Islamic criminal law on apostasy in light of constitutional guarantees and universal human rights does not necessarily conflict with core Islamic teachings. Instead, it offers an opportunity to bridge religious tradition and contemporary legal norms while preserving the ethical foundations of Islam. Such a balanced approach is essential to uphold both religious integrity and human dignity in pluralistic societies today.

Abstract

The development of Qur’anic exegesis in Sumatra illustrates a continuous intellectual trajectory linking classical, transitional, and modern phases of Islamic scholarship. This study examines three major exegetes—Abdurrauf al-Sinkili, Haji Abdul Karim Amrullah (HAKA), and Haji Abdul Malik Karim Amrullah (HAMKA)—by exploring their biographical contexts, socio-historical settings, and distinctive interpretive features. Abdurrauf, through Tafsir Tarjuman al-Mustafid (17th-century Aceh), introduced an ijmālī and Sufi-oriented approach to make the Qur’an accessible to Malay audiences. HAKA’s Tafsir al-Burhan reflects early 20th-century Minangkabau reformism, employing a taḥlīlī method emphasizing reason and social engagement. Meanwhile, HAMKA’s Tafsir al-Azhar represents a modern, comprehensive synthesis that integrates transmitted and rational interpretations while addressing contemporary socio-political realities. Read through Talal Asad’s concept of Islam as a discursive tradition and John Bowen’s Muslims through Discourse, these tafsir works reveal not only textual interpretation but also ongoing negotiations of authority, identity, and social ethics. The continuity of Sumatra’s tafsir tradition thus reflects a discursive evolution, demonstrating how local scholars reinterpret the Qur’an in response to shifting historical and political contexts. The novelty of this study lies in positioning Nusantara tafsir as a dynamic dialogical model that contributes to contemporary Muslim societies by bridging classical heritage, local culture, and modern intellectual demands.
