Abstract

This study examines the concept of tatayyur in the Qur’an as interpreted by M. Quraish Shihab in Tafsir al-Mishbah, employing Hans-Georg Gadamer’s hermeneutics as the analytical framework. The Qur’an rejects tatayyur as a fatalistic belief that undermines human agency and emphasizes individual moral responsibility. Through Tafsir al-Mishbah, Shihab expands the meaning of tatayyur by highlighting its social, psychological, and cultural dimensions, thereby addressing the real challenges faced by Indonesian Muslims who remain influenced by superstitious practices. By applying Gadamer’s concepts of productive prejudice, effective history, and fusion of horizons, this research finds that Shihab’s interpretation emerges from a dynamic encounter between classical exegetical tradition and the contextual needs of modern Indonesia. The findings demonstrate that Gadamerian hermeneutics provides a productive methodological approach to Qur’anic exegesis, as it enables an ongoing dialogue between the sacred text and contemporary social realities. This research affirms that a hermeneutic and contextual reading strengthens the Qur’an’s message of rejecting superstition, fostering optimism, and reinforcing moral responsibility in Muslim society.

Abstract

Implying the identical meaning, the term orthodox Islam or traditional Islam is understood as the correct doctrine in accordance with official teachings. Both are symbols of the maintenance of old religious ways that originate from an authoritative entity that must be obeyed. Assuming to impose the same way, The Study Quran by Seyyed Hossein Nasr and his team also maintain the tradition of interpreting the Quran with unique characteristics of orthodoxy. The present work aims to explicate the orthodoxy of the tradition-based interpretation contained in the work of these traditionalist scholars by focusing on QS. al-Fatihah/1’s commentary in its seven verses. The modern orthodoxy approaches remain relevant to the first surah since its everyday performance articulates the traditionalism of religious practice. We conclude that the authorship of The Study Quran is an effort to preserve traditional methods of modern Quranic interpretation as reflected through the scriptural and community elements of Islamic orthodoxy. The Study Quran's orthodoxy is characterized by the interpretation based on discursive tradition which allows the development of existing discourse and thought. It contributes to the idea that modernity does not necessarily mean quitting old conducts inherited by the treasure of traditional ‘ulum al-Qur’an. Moreover, modern interpretation orthodoxy does not withdraw from the dynamics of thoughts in diversified religious groups of Islam.
THE ESOTERIC CONCEPT OF TAJALLIYAT IN ADAM’S CREATION: AN ANALYSIS OF THE JAVANESE TAFSIR FAYD AL-RAHMAN BY KIAI SALIH DARAT Agustia, Zennanta; Ainur Rohman, Muhammad; Riyadi, M. Irfan; Mukaromah, Muhimmatul

Abstract

The concept of tajalliyat is often derived from non-Nusantara Sufi scholars and referenced in non-tafsir works such as Ibn al-Arabi’s Futuhat al-Makkiyyah. However, the Javanese tafsir Fayd al-Rahman explicitly presents tajalliyat in the story of Adam’s creation. In Sufi tradition, tajalliyat is closely related to the concept of insan kamil (the Perfect Human). This study explores both concepts and their interrelation in Fayd al-Rahman using a thematic approach and content analysis. The findings reveal that tajalliyat in Adam’s creation refers to the manifestation of God’s Names and Attributes within Adam’s essence, reflecting the Divine through the expression ana huwa la huwa (“He is, yet not He”). Meanwhile, insan kamil is symbolized through Adam’s honor as khalifah, adorned with the taj al-karamah, libas al-sa‘adah, and nitaq al-qurbah. Their connection is interpreted through epistemological, ontological, and cosmic reasoning, showing tajalliyat as the path and insan kamil as its peak. Thus, Adam is portrayed as the embodiment of insan kamil manifested through divine tajalliyat.

Abstract

Quranic narrative verses, in addition to serving as sources of spiritual, moral, and educational values, can also function as a medium for formulating legal principles. This article examines a model of interpreting Quranic narrative verses in Shajarat al-Maarif by Izz al-Din ibn Abd al-Salam. This study employs a qualitative method based on library research. The primary source of data is Shajarat al-Maarif, while secondary sources include classical Quranic commentaries, books, and scholarly articles relevant to the topic. The collected data are analyzed using content analysis techniques. The findings reveal that Ibn Abd al-Salam interprets Quranic narrative verses through a fil–jawab–natijah model, which is integrated with elements of Sufism, maqasid al-shariah, and usul al-fiqh in the process of deriving legal principles. Through this model, every human action (fil) is evaluated based on God’s response (jawab), which subsequently generates normative consequences (natijah) that can be generalized into legal maxims. From the narratives of the prophets—such as Prophet Yusuf, Musa, and Ibrahim—and the figure of Qarun, Ibn Abd al-Salam extracts legal principles including non-formal evidentiary procedures, the prioritization of public interest (maslahah), and prophetic ethics in the implementation of legal obligations (taklif). From the story of Qarun, he further emphasizes the importance of wealth redistribution, anti-greed ethics, and policies of economic justice. This study concludes that the fil–jawab–natijah model proposed by Ibn Abd al-Salam enriches the discourse of legal interpretation of Quranic narrative verses by offering an integrative and contextual approach.

Abstract

Shawkat M Toorawa is known for his innovative efforts in translating the Quran in English. He pays attention not only to the accuracy of meaning but also the aesthetic aspects such as rhyme and grammatical structure. In translating Surah Al Fatihah Toorawa managed to maintain rhyme consistently. The purpose of this study is to answer two academic problems namely to examine how Shawkat Toorawa maintains rhyming prose in his translation of Surah Al Fatihah and how Toorawa balances the aesthetic elements and syntactical conformity of the source text. This research uses the library research method by utilizing and synthesizing Shawkat Toorawas primary sources as well as some secondary writings that examine his thoughts. The results show that in translating Surah Al Fatihah Toorawa managed to balance the rhyming prose choose diction that has syllable stress uniformity and maintain the syntactic function of each word well. Sometimes he also made idiomatic transformations in his translation but he did not lose the essence of the verse. Toorawas innovation reflects an attempt to bring back the essence of the beauty of the musical resonance of the Quranic verse for non Arabic readers.

Abstract

This article focuses on outlining the moral messages behind the various forms of interpersonal communication in the Quran. This is motivated by the current phenomenon in which communication has been dominated by technological advancements and social media that offer convenience. While communication through social media brings great benefits to life, it is still unable to fully represent a persons feelings and emotions. Talking or discussing through social media has now shifted face-to-face communication. Face-to-face communication has become something unfamiliar and missed by some people. Therefore, this article aims to highlight once again the urgency of interpersonal or face-to-face communication in accordance with the guidance of the Quran. Based on an exploration of the Quranic verses regarding interpersonal communication, six themes are recorded in the Quran. These themes reflect a variety of communication contexts, providing guidance for interacting in every situation and with every interlocutor. This study uses a thematic method to explore the meanings of conversations recorded in the Quran.

Abstract

In the digital era, social media has become a dominant platform for the dissemination of Qur'anic interpretation, especially among the millennial generation. This article aims to analyze how social media hegemony shapes this generation's understanding of Islam. Through a descriptive qualitative approach, this study explores the forms of hegemony that emerge from various interpretations of the Qur'an on social media, including their impact on traditional religious authorities. The results of the study show that social media promotes greater accessibility, but it also has the potential to reduce the quality and depth of understanding of Islam.

Abstract

This study explores the contrasting approaches of Muhammad Ahmad Khalafullah and Sayyid Quthb in interpreting Qur'anic narratives. Khalafullah views these stories as literary-symbolic constructs that do not necessarily reflect historical facts but are intended to evoke moral and spiritual consciousness through aesthetic language. He classifies Qur'anic narratives into three categories: literary-historical, parabolic, and mythological stories. In contrast, Sayyid Quthb asserts that Qur'anic stories possess ontological truth, even though their presentation is thematic, non-chronological, and rhetorically rich. This research employs a qualitative methodology with a library research approach and hermeneutic analysis of the main works of both scholars: al-Fann al-Qashasi fi al-Qur’an al-Karim and at-Tashwir al-Fanni fi al-Qur’an. The findings reveal that their main divergence lies in epistemological orientation: Khalafullah grounds his interpretation in literary symbolism and rational humanism, while Quthb emphasizes divine revelation and da‘wah function. The study concludes that both perspectives significantly contribute to the development of contemporary narrative exegesis and offer a potential foundation for an integrative and contextual approach to understanding Qur'anic stories more comprehensively

FROM AL-WAHIDI TO AL-SUYUTI: THE EVOLUTION OF ASBAB AL-NUZUL THOUGHT Zaky, KGS. Muhammad; Masruhan; Ahmad Alfian Jihadi

Abstract

The study of asbab al-nuzul occupies an important position in ulum al-Quran because it serves as a bridge between the text of revelation and its historical context. Two central figures who exerted significant influence in this discipline are al-Wahidi (d. 468 AH) and al-Suyuti (d. 911 AH). This article aims to examine the evolution of asbab al-nuzul thought in the works of these two scholars by employing qualitative methods through a library-based approach, as well as historical, comparative, and philosophy-of-science frameworks to analyze the aspects of nature (ontology), sources of knowledge (epistemology), and the function of asbab al-nuzul (axiology). This study shows that, ontologically, al-Wahidi understood asbab al-nuzul as broad historical events that could have occurred long before the revelation of a verse, whereas al-Suyuti restricted them to incidents occurring simultaneously with the descent of the verse. From an epistemological perspective, al-Wahidi’s approach is more compilatory without deep scrutiny of transmission chains, while al-Suyuti applied stricter selection and validation of reports. Axiologically, al-Wahidi positioned the causes of revelation as the basis for understanding meaning and legal rulings, whereas al-Suyuti strengthened the function of asbab al-nuzul through more authentic and comprehensive narrations to support more authoritative interpretation. Thus, this study affirms that there was a significant evolution from a compilatory-descriptive stage to a methodological-critical one. The contribution of this article lies in demonstrating the relevance of ontological, epistemological, and axiological frameworks in tracing the development of Quranic exegesis, while also opening space for the actualization of asbab al-nuzul in contemporary scholarship.
