Abstract

The diversity of interpretations of the Qur'an has played a significant role in enriching Islamic thought throughout history. Among the methods that have attracted attention are Sufi allegorical (ishārī) and Shia esoteric (bāṭinī) interpretations, both of which emphasize the revelation of the text's inner meaning. However, ambiguity often arises regarding the methodological similarities or differences between the two. This study aims to examine the fundamental differences between these two approaches and their implications for understanding the Qur'an. It addresses whether Sufi and Shia interpretations share a common methodological framework for accessing the inner meaning or follow different paths. A comparative analytical methodology is employed, drawing on classical exegetical sources from both traditions. Examples are analyzed based on consistent criteria, including linguistic context, theoretical foundations, and doctrinal assumptions. The results reveal a fundamental difference; Sufi interpretation is rooted in spiritual contemplation and symbolism, while Shia interpretation is tied to Imami doctrine. Therefore, it is recommended that Islamic studies scholars refrain from generalizing about the forms of esoteric interpretation and conduct further studies to explore how these differences influence inter-school dialogue in the modern era.

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.

Abstract

education; however, the dynamics of student life in the digital era present new challenges in maintaining behavioral consistency, whether under direct supervision or otherwise. This study aims to analyze how the use of Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) is interpreted as a tool for character education by contextualizing Surah Al-Mulk, verse 14, regarding Allah's All-Knowing nature concerning all human actions. A qualitative method with a case study design was employed at a pesantren focused on Quranic memorization (tahfiz) for children. Data were gathered through observation, in-depth interviews with caregivers, teachers, administrators, and students, and analysis of institutional documents. Analysis was conducted using a thematic analysis codebook involving a staged coding process, theme development, and source triangulation. The results indicate that CCTV is not perceived merely as an instrument of control but as a pedagogical medium that helps bridge external surveillance with the cultivation of internal awareness (muraqabah). The findings also reveal that the effectiveness of CCTV relies on the internalization of religious values ​​through guidance, role modeling, and spiritual reflection; consequently, student compliance transcends the mere feeling of being watched and evolves into a sustained moral consciousness. This study contributes to a broader understanding of surveillance technology implementation in Islamic education by demonstrating that the pedagogical function of CCTV becomes more meaningful when positioned as a tool supporting the internalization of Quranic values, rather than as a standalone control mechanism.

Abstract

This study presents a critical analysis of Kanzul Iman (Treasure of Faith), a 1911 Urdu translation of the Qur'an by Imam Ahmad Raza Khan, which stands as a pivotal pillar of the Islamic scholarly tradition in South Asia. The research aims to evaluate Kanzul Iman based on its linguistic precision, theological coherence, and spiritual sublimity, while examining how the work upholds orthodox Sunni hermeneutics despite its accessibility to Urdu-speaking audiences. Employing qualitative methods including textual analysis, historical contextualization, and a review of academic reception, the study dissects the translation's structural framework and interpretive approach. The findings demonstrate that Kanzul Iman successfully bridges classical Islamic scholarship with accessible local-language expression, safeguarding Sunni orthodoxy against early 20th-century theological shifts without compromising textual clarity or reverence for the Qur'an. These findings derive from qualitative textual analysis and do not reflect a quantitative corpus-linguistic verification of lexical equivalence between the Arabic source and Urdu target texts, nor do they include an empirical study of reader reception. The study’s primary contribution lies in offering profound insights into Qur'anic exegesis and South Asian Islamic thought by affirming the enduring relevance of Kanzul Iman in modern Muslim discourse and serving as a model of how vernacular translations can sustainably preserve the integrity of religious dogma.

Abstract

Translating digital religious texts presents significant linguistic and ideological challenges, particularly when dealing with complex theological metaphors and collocations that defy literal translation. This study analyzes the dynamics and translation styles of the collocation ṣibghatallāh within the “Quran for Android” application, utilizing Katharina Reiss’s text-function model. It aims to classify and analyze eleven (11) English-to-Indonesian translation variants categorized into informative, expressive, and operative functions to evaluate semantic precision, aesthetic preservation, and pedagogical potential. Employing a qualitative-descriptive method with comparative-historical analysis, the study elucidates how the digital media environment influences the interaction of theological messages. The findings reveal three distinct functional patterns: (1) the informative function is dominated by explanatory variants (such as Kemenag RI and Sahih International) that prioritize doctrinal clarity at the expense of aesthetic nuance; (2) the expressive function is upheld by literal variants (such as Pickthall and Yusuf Ali), which successfully preserve the evocative power of the “dyeing of Allah” metaphor; and (3) the operative function exhibits ideological shifts in sectarian variants (such as Hilali-Khan) and historical-colonial glosses that equate the term with “baptism” This research contributes not only theoretical insights to the study of sacred text translation but also offers strategic implications for educational transformation. The findings can serve as a foundation for designing curricula and student-centered learning models. Within the framework of Outcome-Based Education (OBE), an understanding of these functional translation varieties can be leveraged to foster critical theological literacy, thereby cultivating contemporary global readers who are adaptive, objective, and equipped to meet the challenges of the digital era.

Abstract

The digital era has vastly expanded access to Quranic learning while simultaneously triggering new challenges regarding shifts in interpretive authority, pedagogical sequencing, and the focus of religious attention. In response to these digital-era educational dynamics, this study examines the transformation of Quranic education through audiovisual tafsir (exegesis) pedagogy from the perspective of Ustaz Abdul Somad (UAS). The Method employs qualitative discourse analysis on two full-length YouTube lectures discussing Surah al-Mu'awwidhatayn (al-Falaq and al-Nas). Explanatory segments serve as the units of analysis, with corpus coding based on textual-linguistic, intertextual-authoritative, contextual, and performative dimensions. The findings reveal that UAS’s pedagogy transforms through a synthesis model termed TACP (Text-Authority-Context-Performance). This model operates via four strategic steps: lexical-grammatical scaffolding, authoritative source validation, contextual translation, and audiovisual demonstration. Although this model renders Quranic education more accessible and engaging for audiences, it entails three inherent risks: fragmented consumption, figure-centric authority, and the oversimplification of exegesis. As a contribution, the study formulates strategic guidelines for educators and digital platforms to foster a superior learning ecosystem; these include publishing lectures within their full context, explicitly citing references, creating indexed playlists, and comprehensively strengthening digital tafsir literacy.

Abstract

Debates over the integrity and authenticity of the Uthmanic Mushaf have persisted since the early period of Islam. However, much of the existing scholarship tends to treat these critiques as a singular and uniform phenomenon, without adequately distinguishing the underlying ideological motives across different early Muslim communities. Purpose, to examine critiques of the Uthmanic Mushaf during the early period of Islam (1st–4th centuries AH/7th–10th centuries AD) by tracing the basis of arguments and the ideological tendencies underlying these critiques among early Muslim communities. Method, a historical-critical approach combined with comparative analysis of classical Sunni, Shia, and Islamic heresiographical sources. Result, critiques of the Uthmanic Mushaf stemmed from fundamentally different bases across groups. Among some of the Prophet's companions, critiques were primarily grounded in historical objections to the codification process and the validity of the Mushaf collectors. Among certain Khawarij groups, rejection of parts of the Uthmanic Mushaf was driven by ethical-dogmatic prejudices against verses considered incompatible with the sanctity of revelation. Meanwhile, among the early Imami Shia, rejection reflected strong political tendencies, particularly through narratives delegitimizing ruling authority and claims regarding the removal of verses affirming the superiority of Ali and Ahl al-Bayt. Contribution, this study offers a typology of early critiques, namely historical, ethical-dogmatic, and political, while affirming that discourse on the integrity of the Uthmanic Mushaf cannot be separated from the dynamics of power, religious authority, and sectarian identity in the formative period of Islam.
