Abstract

This study examines the epistemic resilience of the Islamic tafsīr tradition in responding to the philological and historical critiques advanced by the Corpus Coranicum project of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities. By situating the Qur’an within the religious and literary context of Late Antiquity, Corpus Coranicum has significantly influenced contemporary Qur’anic studies while generating epistemological tensions with traditional Islamic scholarship. These tensions arise from differing conceptions of the Qur’an: Western philology treats it as a historical text subject to linguistic analysis, whereas tafsīr understands it as kalām Allāh, the eternal Word of God. Employing qualitative library-based research, this article analyzes selected classical and modern exegetical works through the frameworks of Jan Assmann’s cultural memory and Talal Asad’s discursive tradition. The findings demonstrate that tafsīr is not a static or defensive tradition, but one capable of adaptation, negotiation, and renewal. Three modes of epistemic response are identified—conservative, integrative, and critical-progressive—each reflecting different strategies of engagement with modern scholarship. The study concludes that such epistemic resilience allows tafsīr to maintain theological integrity while constructively engaging contemporary philological approaches, contributing to a paradigm of epistemic coexistence in Qur’anic studies.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the shifting orientation of the Khatam Al-Qur’an tradition in Minangkabau from a religious rite toward a socially performative ceremony, and to explore possibilities for its revitalization through a social tafsir perspective. Rooted in the Minangkabau maxim adat basandi syarak, syarak basandi Kitabullah, Khatam Al-Qur’an historically marked a child’s completion of Qur’anic recitation and functioned as a medium of religious internalization. In contemporary practice, however, it has increasingly become a display of social prestige—often pejoratively labeled Katam Ayam—raising concerns about the erosion of its spiritual substance. Employing qualitative library-based research and drawing on the Tafsir Adabi Ijtima‘i approach, this article situates the tradition within broader debates on the tension between spirituality and cultural performance in Muslim societies. The analysis demonstrates that Khatam Al-Qur’an embodies both continuity and rupture in the negotiation of religious meaning. The study argues that revitalization efforts must reorient the tradition toward tadabbur-centered engagement with the Qur’an, in line with the principle al-muhafazah ‘ala al-qadimi al-shalih wal-akhḏu bil-jadīd al-aṣlaḥ. Such reorientation can restore Khatam Al-Qur’an as a locus of Qur’anic literacy, moral education, and cultural resilience, harmonizing local wisdom with the Qur’an’s universal ethical vision.
