Abstract

This article discusses the cosmos as a divine text by reconstructing the epistemology of Qur'anic interpretation in light of modern astrophysics. This approach emphasizes the integration of revelation, empirical observation, and philosophical reflection in understanding the phenomena of the universe. By examining Qur'anic cosmological verses hermeneutically and linking them to contemporary astrophysical discoveries, such as stellar evolution, black holes, cosmic background radiation, and the large-scale structure of the universe. The method used is qualitative with a philosophical hermeneutic approach model, where the primary sources are cosmological verses such as (Q.S. Ali 'Imran: 190), (Q.S. Yasin: 40), (Q.S. al-Dzariyat: 47), (Q.S. al-Anbiya’: 30), (Q.S. al-Qamar: 49), (Q.S. al-Hadid: 4), to (Q.S. al-Furqan: 59). The secondary sources are journals, books, or other relevant research. After the data is collected, a comparative thematic content analysis is conducted using a triangulation model to ensure data validity, and conclusions are drawn.  The study's results indicate that revelation and science complement each other in building a holistic, transdisciplinary, and relevant understanding of modern science. The proposed Integrative Cosmological Interpretation Model combines the bayani (textual), burhani (rational-empirical), and irfani (spiritual-intuitive) approaches, so that Qur'anic interpretation is not only descriptive, but also prescriptive, philosophical, and ethical. The epistemic and philosophical implications of this research open new perspectives in Qur'anic studies, strengthen the dialogue between science and revelation, and emphasize the cosmos as a medium for human intellectual and spiritual reflection.

Abstract

Differences in translations across periods often lead to variations in meaning, making terminological transformation inevitable. This study aims to analyze in depth the transformation of the term Ḥārth in two versions of the Qur'an translation, namely during the colonial period and the present day. The methodology is a qualitative approach combining descriptive, comparative, and interpretive methods. The research data are drawn from all verses containing the element Ḥārth in the Tafsir Qur'an Karim by Mahmud Yunus, as well as the official version from the Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs. The results show that Ḥārth has a broad meaning, encompassing farming, land, and metaphorical uses. The identified transformation patterns include shifts from place to product, from product to place, from singular to plural, and from literal to metaphorical, influenced by socio-cultural context and reading styles over time. This study recommends that academics and translation institutions pay more attention to historical-linguistic aspects to maintain the relevance and accuracy of theological messages in changing times.

Abstract

This study examines the maritime metaphor in Surah An-Nur, Verse 40, through a comparative analysis of classical tafsīr and modern scientific exegesis. The objective is to analyze how traditional spiritual interpretations of this verse correspond with contemporary oceanographic discoveries. The research employs a qualitative descriptive-analytical method with content analysis, systematically comparing classical exegetical works (al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Abī Ḥātim, Muqātil bin Sulaymān, Yaḥyā bin Salām) with peer-reviewed marine science literature. The findings reveal that the verse operates effectively on two complementary levels: first, as a profound theological parable illustrating spiritual blindness according to classical commentators; and second, as an empirically accurate description corresponding to modern marine science discoveries, specifically, the exponential absorption of light spectra creating layered darkness in the aphotic zone (below 1,000 meters), and the phenomenon of internal waves traveling along density gradients. This dual coherence contributes to the discourse on I'jāz al-'Ilmī (Scientific Inimitability) by demonstrating how the Qur'anic description corresponds to oceanic phenomena that were historically unknowable to seventh-century observers. The study concludes that modern scientific interpretation enriches rather than replaces the classical spiritual meaning, establishing a hermeneutical bridge that maintains theological integrity while engaging contemporary scientific understanding.

Abstract

This study examines the deconstruction of the Uthmani Mushaf narrative in Qur’anic studies through a comparative analysis of At-Thabari’s classical interpretation of Q.S. Al-Baqarah (2):2 and John Wansbrough’s historical-critical approach. The aim of this research is to investigate how the concepts of revelation, textual authority, and the narrative of salvation are constructed within normative Islamic exegesis and how they are challenged by modern historical criticism. This research employs a qualitative, library-based method with clearly defined stages, including the collection of primary and secondary sources, content analysis of Jamiʿ Al-Bayan, a critical examination of Qur’anic Studies and The Sectarian Milieu, and an epistemological comparison of the two interpretive frameworks. The findings indicate that At-Thabari understands revelation as a certain and transcendent reality that underpins spiritual transformation and salvation for the God-conscious, whereas Wansbrough interprets the certainty of revelation as an ideological construct shaped by the dynamics of the early Muslim community. The significance of this study lies in demonstrating that the Uthmani Mushaf functions not merely as a product of codification or a symbol of political authority, but also as a mechanism for stabilizing meaning that enabled the emergence of a normative exegetical tradition in early Islam, while simultaneously opening a critical dialogue between theological faith and modern academic approaches in Qur’anic studies.
