Abstract

This research examines reinterpretations by Kiai Maemon Zubair in reading Tafsir al-Jalalain. Researchers overlook this area. This research explores Maemon’s reception in reading Tafsir al-Jalalain, the factors influencing Maemon’s reception, and its implications. This research is classified as qualitative research with a content analysis study using Stuart Hall’s reception analysis framework. The research results show that Maemon’s reception in reading Tafsir al-Jalalain can be categorized as a dominant-hegemonic, negotiated, and oppositional position. Tafsir al-Jalalain, namely: differences in geographic location between Maemon and the author of Tafsir al-Jalalain, differences in the reasoning of Maemon and the author as well as strengthening ideology. Maemon’s reception, which is not always in line with al-Jalalain’s text, proves that learning in Islamic boarding schools is not always textual and only fixates on classical texts.
Tafsir in its Context, or How Socio-Political Milieu Informed What to Include and Exclude in Qur’an Commentaries: At-Tabari’s, Ibn Abi Hatim’s, and al-Maturidi’s Interpretations of Surah Al-Ma’idah (5): 51 as a Case Study Muchlisin, Annas Rolli

Abstract

This paper analyzes the interpretations of Qur’an surah al-Ma’idah (5): 51 by three 10th-century exegetes: at-Tabariy, Ibn Abi Hatim, and al-Maturidiy. It argues that at-Tabariy’s commentary, though foundational, represents just one model of exegesis in the medieval period. Ibn Abi Hatim and al-Maturidiy incorporate unique interpretative materials, not found in at-Tabariy’s work. Al-Maturidiy offers three types of interpretation, while Ibn Abi Hatim narrates a story about Caliph ‘Umar’s anger at a companion hiring a Christian secretary. The study also contextualizes these interpretations within the socio-political environment of the 10th-century ‘Abbasid era, where non-Muslims gained influence. This article concludes that the Qur’an commentators’ decision to include and exclude certain interpretative materials in their tafsir works reflects, to some degree, the socio-political environments in which they lived and authored their works. Qur’an commentaries, like any other book, were not written in a vacuum.

Abstract

This article examines the use of dabt Asia-Anatolia in the Mushaf al-Ummah by comparing it with the Indonesian Standard Mushaf and the Pakistani Mushaf. The adoption of dabt Asia-Anatolia as an alternative regional system—similar to the al-Masyariqah and al-Magaribah—to accommodate both the Indonesian Standard Mushaf and the Pakistani Mushaf proves to be highly impractical. Through comparative and consistency-based methods, it has been demonstrated that the dabt Asia-Anatolia in the Mushaf al-Ummah still contains numerous inconsistent diacritical markings and tends to intermingle with the dabt al-Masyariqah. This contrasts with the Indonesian Standard Mushaf and the Pakistani Mushaf, which have established consistent diacritical systems and have maintained broader readability and independence for decades. Consequently, efforts to unify the Indonesian Standard Mushaf and the Pakistani Mushaf under the Mushaf al-Ummah framework are deemed ineffective. Instead, it is recommended that the Mushaf al-Ummah develop distinct variants, namely the Mushaf al-Indunisiy, Mushaf al-Ummah al-Pakistaniy, and Mushaf al-Ummah at-Turkiy, to accommodate the specific needs of each region independently.

Abstract

The science of dabt was developed to preserve the authenticity of Qur’anic recitation as Islam spread into non-Arab regions. However, its application in modern mushafs reveals certain inconsistencies. This study aims to examine these inconsistencies through a comparative analysis of the dabt system in three mushafs of the Qur’anic reading (qira'a) of Abu 'Amr, transmitted by ad-Duri, namely the editions from Madinah, Sudan, and the digital version of at-Taysir. Employing a descriptive-comparative method, the research identifies and analyzes the patterns of similarities and differences in diacritical marks among the three mushafs. The findings indicate uniformity in the fundamental elements of dabt, such as basic vowels (harakat), sukun, and tasydid, which largely follow the system of al-Khalil ibn Ahmad al-Farahidiy. However, significant variations are observed in markings such as imala, alif wasl, and the treatment of isqat. The study concludes that uniformity is primarily driven by the shared rasm and qira'a, while diversity arises from differences in dabt schools (masyriqiy and magribiy), the evolution of mediums (print and digital), and local scholarly ijtihad. This research underscores that the variations in dabt reflect the socio-cultural dynamics within the tradition of safeguarding the Qur'anic text.

Abstract

This study discusses the heterogeneity of the ulumul qur'an in the ancient mushaf stored in the Great Mosque of the Surakarta Palace, namely in the use of rasm and qira'at aspects. The mushaf is a collection of Sinuhun Pakubuwana X written by Sayyid Ibrahim bin 'Abdullah al-Jufri in the mid-19th century AD. This research is qualitative research using the library research method. The data collection methods applied were observation, documentation, interviews and digitalization, while data analysis used was the descriptive-analytical method. Through this article it can be seen that the mushaf uses two rasm, namely rasm usmani and imla‘i, while in Indonesia it is more common to use only rasm usmani. This phenomenon has similarities with several other findings made by a number of researchers, but this is found in several mushafs such as in Klaten, Bali, Bonjol and Payakumbuh, and Subang. Meanwhile, from the aspect of qira'at, the mushaf mixes the reading model of Imam Nafi' with rawi Qalun, Imam Abu 'Amr rawi ad-Durri, and Imam 'Asim rawi Ḥafs, whereas in the tradition of reading the Qur'an in Indonesia it is more common to use the model third reading.

Abstract

Abstract This article examines Hamka’s interpretation in Tafsir Al-Azhar regarding the death of Prophet Jesus (ʿIsa), a theological issue that has sparked considerable debate among Qur’anic exegetes and carries significant eschatological implications in Islam. Unlike the majority of classical tafsir which asserts that Jesus has not yet died, Hamka argues that he has indeed passed away. This study employs a qualitative approach through library research, with Tafsir Al-Azhar as the primary source, contextualized with the reformist thought of figures such as Muhammad ‘Abduh, Rasyid Rida, Ahmad Mustafa al-Maragiy, and Mahmud Syaltut. The findings reveal that Hamka’s interpretation not only reflects the influence of Islamic reformism but also demonstrates his independent exegetical effort to construct a contextual meaning. This is evident in three interpretive strategies: distancing his view from the Ahmadiyya despite a shared belief in Jesus’ death, engaging the Gospel as a counter-narrative to Christian theology, and incorporating Indonesia’s socio-religious context into his exegesis. Hamka’s tafsir illustrates his commitment to purifying Islamic doctrine and liberating Muslims from theological understandings he deemed unproductive.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the various qiraat found in Surah Al-Ma’idah and their interpretative implications in Tafsir 10 Qiraat dan Tadabbur Surah Al-Ma’idah by Saiful Islam Mubarak. Employing a qualitative library research method, the primary source is Mubarak’s tafsir, supplemented by relevant secondary literature. Data analysis involves condensation, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal 24 verses in Surah Al-Ma’idah containing qiraat variations. Mubarak elaborates on each variant, the reciters (imam and rawi), and the semantic implications. Of these, seven verses exhibit vowel variations without altering meaning or script; another seven show vowel and semantic changes while retaining the script; six involve consonantal and semantic changes with identical rasm; and the remaining three differ in letters, script, and meaning. These results underscore the value of qiraat-based exegesis as a method that enhances interpretive depth and supports the contextual development of Qur’anic commentary by Nusantara scholars.

Abstract

The motivation for this study arises from the observation that many commentators still interpret verses illustrating heaven merely as parables, without sufficiently contextualizing them to social reality. Therefore, this study remains necessary, particularly by examining the interpretations of two Indonesian mufassir from different generations: Hamka (a preacher) and Muhammad Quraish Shihab (an academic). This study is library research employing a descriptive-analysis method. The conclusions of this study indicate that both Hamka and Shihab strive to contextualize the interpretation of verses depicting heaven, contextualizing them in sociocultural paradigms and making them relevant to contemporary contexts. However, Hamka and Shihab exhibit different traits and characteristics in their interpretive approaches and narrative constructs. These differences are primarily due to Hamka's active involvement in the world of preaching, whereas Shihab operates within an academic framework. The interpretations of the verses illustrating heaven by both Hamka and Shihab are notably applicable and contextual, making them relevant to the socio-cultural context. Thus, the narratives constructed by Hamka and Shihab render the abstract and metaphysical nuances of these verses more accessible and comprehensible to the public. As Recommendation; it is necessary to create an interpretative framework for metaphysical verses based on Nusantara identity so that it can be easily understood by the audience, especially the Indonesian people.

Abstract

Gender discrimination in many Muslim societies is often sustained by patriarchal cultural norms and textualist interpretations of the Qur'an that overlook its broader ethical and egalitarian principles. This study explores how the concept of tauhid in surah Al-Ikhlas can function as both a theological and ethical foundation to challenge patriarchal structures and advance gender justice. Employing a qualitative methodology grounded in literature-based analysis, the research adopts the Living Qur’an framework in conjunction with Amina Wadud’s gender hermeneutics. Primary and secondary sources—including classical exegetical works such as those of Ibn Kasir, contemporary commentaries by scholars like Quraish Shihab and Wadud, as well as scholarly literature on gender equity—inform the analysis. The findings indicate that tauhid, beyond affirming the oneness of God, embodies anti-hierarchical and egalitarian values that reject all forms of human domination, including male supremacy. Through contextual and sociological interpretation, surah Al-Ikhlas reveals tauhid as a moral imperative to promote just and equal gender relations. This study contributes to contemporary Qur’anic scholarship by proposing a gender-responsive theological reading rooted in the lived realities and ethical aspirations of Muslim communities.

Abstract

“Islamic education reform is carried out by discussing tarbawi tafsir. However, tafsir tarbawi so far has ontological problems written by education scholars, methodological problems with concise thematic interpretation models, and axiological problems in the form of interpretation results that tend to be conceptual, not providing actual answers to educational problems. In addition, maqasidiy interpretation of maqasid asy-syari'ah has a fundamental problem taken from the idea of usuliyun, and the limitation of interpretation is only used in legal verses. It is necessary to develop interpretation in the direction of progressive tarbawi interpretation by discouraging maqasidiy of maqasid Al-Qur’an. This article asks questions: How is the development of maqasidiy interpretation of maqasid Al-Qur'an? How is the progressive tarbawi interpretation of Surah Al-'Alaq (96): 1-5, and what is the significance of the interpretation? This article concludes: tafsir maqasidiy from maqasid Al-Qur'an is a development of tafsir methodology built on eight philosophical foundations derived from the Qur'an: straightening faith, improving morals, explaining the law, giving examples, inspiring and guarding education, giving good lessons, organizing social, and proving miracles. Maqasid Al-Qur'an becomes the philosophical foundation of the mufasir in developing meaning in the actual context. Progressive tarbawi interpretation of Surah Al-'Alaq (96): 1-5, among others: the unity of intellectual awareness and transcendental awareness, inspiring awareness of origin and blessings, being an optimistic foundation, teaching literacy awareness, and teaching humility. The significance of his tafsir affirms Islam as a religion that inspires education as a blessing for humanity and life.”
