The authority of the textual argument is strengthened through the method tafsīr al-Qur’ān bi al-Qur’ān by linking the interpretation to Surah Al-Ma'idah verse 103 and the narration of Ibn Abbas, this study successfully fills the gap in the historiography of partial interpretations of the 20th century and makes a significant contribution to strengthening the discourse on contemporary religious moderation based on local Nusantara wisdom.
