<![CDATA[The gap between the ideal model of Qur’anic exegesis education grounded in an authenticated chain of scholarly transmission (sanad) and the reality of tafsir learning in rural communities, which tends to be instantaneous and disconnected from its intellectual lineage, has become a significant challenge in strengthening religious literacy in Indonesia. The Majlis Sama’ Tafsir Al-Baghawi Scientific Seminar, held over nine days (10–18 March 2026) at Abu Bakar Ash-Shidiq Grand Mosque, Pasirmuncang Hamlet, Pusakamulya Village, Kiarapedes District, Purwakarta Regency, featured Shaykh Samir bin Yusuf Al-Hakaliy as the principal lecturer. The program was attended by 127 participants, including university lecturers, students, and members of the general public. The implementation employed a sama’ (sanad-based listening and transmission) approach integrated with contextual discussions grounded in the maqāṣidī approach to Qur’anic exegesis. The results demonstrated substantial improvements in participants’ understanding of scholarly chains of transmission (78% increase), their ability to connect textual interpretations with contemporary social contexts (72% increase), and sustained engagement, as evidenced by the establishment of regular post-seminar study circles. This initiative proposes the sama’ model of Qur’anic exegesis as a novel framework for community engagement programs aimed at strengthening the Islamic intellectual tradition and promoting contextual religious literacy in rural societies.]]>
