<![CDATA[Qur’anic interpretation cannot be separated from the social and cultural context in which it is produced. Within the tradition of Nusantara tafsir, Tafsir Al-Qur’an Al-Karim written by Mahmud Yunus demonstrates a distinctive integration of Indonesian local values into the understanding of Qur’anic verses. This study aims to examine the forms and characteristics of local elements found in this tafsir and to analyze their relevance to the development of contextual Qur’anic interpretation in Indonesia. This research employs a qualitative method with a library research approach, while data analysis is conducted through content analysis of the tafsir text. The findings reveal that local elements are reflected in the use of accessible Indonesian language, social examples drawn from local community life, indigenous religious practices, and an educational approach tailored to Indonesian society. These features make the tafsir contextual and easily understood. In conclusion, Mahmud Yunus’s tafsir represents a Nusantara model of Qur’anic interpretation that successfully harmonizes the universal message of the Qur’an with local cultural realities.]]>
