Abstract

This study is based on the need to connect religious texts with contemporary reality through a more comprehensive approach. This research aims to describe the integration of traditional exegesis methods with Naturalistic Inquiry. U using literature review and analyzing through plural epistemological theories, this article explores and delineates the similarities between the understanding of texts and the natural socio-cultural context.  This research successfully compiles a new methodological framework called The Integrative-Naturalistic Tafsir Paradigm. This paradigm positions sacred texts and field reality (includes three methods: textual, virtual, and field research) as two inseparable entities, but as elements that interact and continually reinforce each other, This paradigm enriches the methodology of Islamic studies by offering an inclusive and non-reductionist epistemological model. In addition, the framework directs scholars and translators to create interpretations that are contextualized, adaptable, and attuned to contemporary human challenges while preserving the authenticity of the original text.
