<![CDATA[The central premise of this study is that conventional micro-individual asbabun nuzul is no longer adequate for addressing religious polarization within Indonesia’s increasingly contested digital public sphere. This library research, grounded in a contextual hermeneutics framework, proposes a reconstruction of macro asbabun nuzul by integrating Fazlur Rahman’s Double Movement Theory and Abdullah Saeed’s Hierarchy of Values Theory. The framework is applied to three wasatiyyah verses: QS. al-Baqarah: 143, QS. al-Hujurat: 13, and QS. al-Kafirun: 6, through three stages: reconstruction of seventh-century Arabian history, extraction of universal values, and recontextualization within Indonesia. It is found that: (1) the principle of wasa an responds to Medinan geopolitical polarization, not merely the change of qiblah; (2) the phrase li ta’arafu tribal system; and (3) the phrase lakum d deconstructs the Arab nukum proclaims religious freedom against the Qurayshi oligarchy. From these three findings, four principles of interpretation were formulated, namely historical contextualization, responsive congruence, interpretive validation, and dialogical openness, intended to guide the transformation of moderation values into adaptive social orthopraxy for mitigating religious conflict, both offline and online.]]>
