This study examines the interpretation of Qur'anic verses on love in Tafsir Al-Azhar by Buya Hamka and Tafsir Al-Mishbah by M. Quraish Shihab. It addresses how both exegetes interpret the concepts of mahabbah, mawaddah, and rahmah, as well as their similarities and differences. The novelty of this study lies in its comparative analysis of six Qur'anic verses representing these concepts using two prominent Indonesian Qur'anic commentaries. This research employs a qualitative library research method with a tafsir muqaran (comparative) approach. Primary data were obtained from the Qur'an, Tafsir Al-Azhar, and Tafsir Al-Mishbah, while secondary data were collected from relevant books, journal articles, and other literature. The findings indicate that both exegetes regard love as a fundamental Qur'anic value. However, Hamka emphasizes moral and social dimensions, whereas Quraish Shihab highlights linguistic, psychological, and contextual aspects, enriching the understanding of love in the Qur'an.
