Abstract

Studies of the sun in Qur'anic scholarship have largely been fragmented and reductionist, focusing mainly on astronomical calculations or physical characteristics while neglecting the broader influence of sunlight on living beings and its theological significance. Existing research often treats the sun as a cosmic object or a temporal marker, without integrating classical Qur'anic exegesis with contemporary scientific knowledge. This condition reveals an epistemological gap between traditional tafsīr studies and modern scientific discourse, particularly within thematic Qur'anic interpretation rooted in the intellectual legacy of Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī. This study aims to examine the Qur'anic concept of sunlight through the exegetical framework of Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī, analyze its influence on humans, animals, and plants, and explore the divine wisdom behind its creation by engaging with modern scientific perspectives. Methodologically, this research employs a qualitative library-based design using a thematic (tafsīr mawdhū‘ī) approach combined with descriptive-analytical analysis. The primary source is al-Rāzī's Mafātīḥ al-Ghayb, which is critically contextualized with contemporary scientific literature in ecology, health sciences, and natural sciences. The findings indicate that al-Rāzī conceptualizes sunlight not merely as a physical source of illumination, but as a multidimensional divine sign. Sunlight functions as a source of life energy, a regulator of biological rhythms, a determinant of time, a contributor to human health, a driver of animal ecosystems, and a fundamental factor in photosynthesis and plant growth. These insights demonstrate a strong conceptual resonance between al-Rāzī's rational-philosophical exegesis and modern scientific principles, despite differing epistemological foundations. At the global level, this study contributes to strengthening religion-science dialogue, promoting ecological consciousness, supporting environmental sustainability, and advancing a holistic ethical framework for understanding the interconnected relationship between humanity, nature, and the Divine.

Abstract

This study examines the concept of repentance (tawbah) in the story of Prophet Yunus (Jonah) and its implications for human character formation from a Qurʾānic perspective. The research is motivated by the increasing moral, spiritual, and psychological challenges of contemporary society. According to the World Health Organization, nearly one in seven people worldwide experienced mental disorders in 2021, indicating the need for approaches that integrate spiritual and psychological well-being. The story of Prophet Yunus contains educational and spiritual values that are relevant to self-reformation and character development. This study employs a qualitative library research approach using thematic Qurʾānic exegesis (tafsīr mawḍū‘ī). Data were collected from Qurʾānic verses related to the story of Prophet Yunus and analyzed through classical and contemporary tafsir literature. The findings reveal five essential dimensions of repentance: remorse, self-improvement, patience, glorification of Allah through tasbih, and seeking Allah’s help. These dimensions contribute to the development of positive character traits, including humility, wisdom, self-confidence, emotional balance, and optimism. The study further argues that repentance functions not only as a theological doctrine but also as a transformative spiritual practice that supports moral development and psychological well-being. Consistent with insights from the psychology of religion, repentance may serve as a form of spiritual self-reformation that enhances emotional regulation and resilience. Therefore, the story of Prophet Yunus offers a Qurʾānic framework for character formation grounded in Islamic spirituality and relevant to addressing contemporary moral and psychological challenges.

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.
