<![CDATA[This study examines the concept of ghuluw (excessive behavior) toward righteous people in QS. Nūḥ/71:23 according to M. Quraish Shihab’s Tafsir Al-Miṣbāḥ, as well as its implications for the practice of grave visitation among Indonesian Muslim communities. This study is important because research specifically connecting the concept of ghuluw in QS. Nūḥ/71:23 with its implications for grave visitation remains relatively limited. This study employs a library research method using a tafsir approach and descriptive-analytical analysis. The results indicate that ghuluw in QS. Nūḥ/71:23 occurs through a gradual process: beginning with reasonable respect for righteous figures, followed by the creation of material symbols to commemorate them, their legacy being transmitted across generations, and eventually transforming into worship as religious knowledge and control diminish, with elites playing an active role in maintaining the belief system. This process is relevant to contemporary grave visitation practices, which have the potential to shift toward practices resembling ghuluw when not accompanied by an adequate understanding of monotheism. This study recommends strengthening continuous faith-based education so that respect for righteous people does not develop into excessive veneration.]]>
