<![CDATA[This article examines the editorial negotiation of classical tafsir authority in the Indonesian translation of Tafsir Jalalain published by Ummul Qura in 2018. It focuses on the placement of Muḥammad ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Khumais’s Anwār al-Hilālayn fī al-Taʿaqqubāt ʿalā al-Jalālayn as a prefatory text preceding the main translation. Using Gérard Genette’s concept of paratext, particularly peritext, this article explores how Ummul Qura frames Tafsir Jalalain through a corrective introduction while preserving the translated body of the tafsir. The analysis compares the translation of Jalalain and al-Khumais’s corrections in two selected cases: QS. Ṣād [38]: 75, which concerns the interpretation of divine attributes, and QS. Yūsuf [12]: 52, which concerns the attribution of speech and narrative continuity. The first case shows a theological difference between Jalalain’s taʾwīl and al-Khumais’s salafi-ātharī-oriented correction. The second case reveals a narrative difference related to waqf and ibtidāʾ, although al-Khumais places it within the discussion of isrāʾīliyyāt. This article argues that Ummul Qura brings Jalalain and al-Khumais into one printed product through a specific editorial arrangement. The translation therefore functions as a publishing practice that negotiates classical authority, corrective theology, and contemporary Indonesian Muslim readership.]]>
