Abstract

This study aims to discuss the transformation of Tafsir bi al-ra’yi: its history, methodological boundaries, and the dynamics of scholarly debates. The research employs a qualitative approach using a descriptive-analytical method. Tafsir bi al-ra’yi is an interpretative method of the Qur’an based on ijtihad, which emerged in the 3rd century Hijri, particularly during the Abbasid era, to address the demands of the times. This method must be carried out by knowledgeable interpreters adhering to the principles of tafsir to ensure alignment with the Qur’an, Sunnah, and ijma’ of the scholars. While it allows intellectual freedom, it remains constrained to avoid subjective desires. Scholars have differing views: some support it as a necessary form of ijtihad, while others reject it due to concerns about conflicting with definitive texts (nash qath’i). This study concludes that Tafsir bi al-ra’yi plays a significant role in enriching the understanding of the Qur’an but emphasizes that its application must balance methodological caution and respect for the authority of the Qur’anic text.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of majāz mursal in QS. al-‘Ankabūt [29]: 41 as a rhetorical strategy in the construction of Qur’anic meaning. The verse presents a parable comparing those who associate partners with Allah to a spider building its house, where the spider’s web symbolically represents a fragile and unreliable system of dependence. Employing a qualitative-descriptive approach with rhetorical and semantic analysis, this research explores the form of majāz  mursal maḥalliyyah in the verse's linguistic structure and the symbolic function of the spider’s house in conveying theological critique of polytheism. The primary data, drawn from the Qur’anic text, is analyzed using classical balaghah theory and contemporary Qur’anic rhetorical frameworks. The findings reveal that majāz  mursal in this verse not only enhances linguistic aesthetics but also serves as a central instrument in communicating implicit existential and spiritual messages. The metaphor of the spider’s house effectively evokes the reader’s awareness of the frailty of all forms of reliance other than on Allah. This study affirms that figurative language in the Qur’an operates as a powerful vehicle of divine communication rather than merely a literary embellishment.
