Abstract

The integration of science in the interpretation of the Qur'an (tafsir 'ilmi), especially in cosmological verses, has become an important phenomenon in contemporary Islamic studies. This literature review aims to map the development, examine methods, and identify epistemological and methodological challenges in the approach. The research uses a literature study method with thematic content analysis, sourced from classical interpretation, scientific-modern interpretation, and academic studies on the epistemology of interpretation and cosmology. The results of the study show that the integration of science is carried out through various patterns, such as technical correspondence, apologetic confirmation, and conceptual harmonization. Cosmological verses such as QS. Al-Anbiya' 30, QS. Adz-Dzariyat 47, and QS. Yasin 38–40 was the main focus. However, this approach has been criticized for the risk of imposing meaning, reducing the theological message, and relying on tentative scientific theories. The epistemological challenge of bringing together transcendent and normative revelation with immanent and descriptive science is also a crucial issue. This study confirms that the sustainability of tafsir 'ilmi requires a rigorous methodology by placing the linguistic authority and context of the Qur'an as the main foundation. It is recommended that there be clearer methodological guidelines, multidisciplinary collaboration, and further research on the theme of cosmology with a philosophical-hermeneutical approach. The integration of science should ultimately lead to the deepening of faith and obedience, not merely scientific proof.

Abstract

This study analyzes the role of local interpretations in the preservation of cultural identity and the urgency of their revitalization amid the currents of globalization and homogenization of religious interpretations. Using a descriptive qualitative approach based on literature review, this study examines Javanese, Sundanese, and Bugis interpretations; scientific articles related to vernacularization; and manuscripts and supporting documents on the development of local interpretations. The results show that local interpretations have distinctive epistemological and methodological characteristics through the integration of the Qur'anic text with cultural values, linguistic idioms, and the social structure of the local community. This tradition not only functions as a medium for religious understanding, but also as a vehicle for preserving regional languages, local scripts, and the formation of a grounded Islamic identity. However, the dominance of Middle Eastern interpretations, limited access to manuscripts, and a lack of regeneration of Islamic scholars pose serious challenges to the sustainability of local interpretations. This study offers revitalization strategies through manuscript digitization, curriculum integration, production of new works in regional languages, and collaboration in research and cultural activities. Thus, local interpretations are positioned as an important pillar of Islamic plurality in the archipelago as well as a foundation for the preservation of the nation's intellectual and cultural heritage.
