Abstract

The debate regarding the presence of Mu’tazilah concepts in the interpretation of al-Kasysyāf remains a topic of discussion in interpretive literature. This debate stems from az-Zamakhsyarī’s theological identity as a proponent of Mu’tazilah thought. This study seeks to re-examine how az-Zamakhsyarī integrated Mu’tazilah conceptions into his work, al-Kasysyāf, by focusing on the dominant linguistic elements of his interpretation. To achieve this, the research adopts a qualitative approach, utilizing content analysis as the primary tool for data analysis. Additionally, the study employs a representation model to differentiate the ways in which az-Zamakhsyarī received and applied Mu’tazilah teachings. The findings reveal that az-Zamakhsyarī’s extensive use of linguistic analysis in interpreting the Quran often led to clear statements affirming his Mu’tazilah stance. However, he appears ambiguous when addressing the concept of the Oneness of God, a core tenet of Mu’tazilah doctrine, which was a sensitive issue in his time. This ambiguity is also evident in discussions concerning the ontological nature of God, where az-Zamakhsyarī tends to avoid the in-depth linguistic exploration seen in other areas, differing from his approach in al-Minhāj fi Uṣūl ad-Dīn. This reluctance to delve into sensitive topics leads to a diminished presence of Mu’tazilah narratives in al-Kasysyāf, contributing to varied interpretations of its content regarding Mu’tazilah teachings in Quranic exegesis.

Abstract

The Mustofa Bisri Channel's usage of YouTube to study tafsir al-Ibrīz represents a substantial shift from traditional teaching techniques. This phenomenon demonstrates a shift from traditional educational techniques to the use of modern technology, particularly social media, to convey religious knowledge. Mustofa Bisri, better known as Gus Mus, uses vernacularization to provide explanations for current situations. This study focuses on how social media promotes conversation between historical texts and present realities. This study examines vernacularization in tafsir al-Ibrīzsessions, including oral interpretation and its impact on comprehension. The Mustofa Bisri Channel's usage of YouTube to study tafsir al-Ibrīz represents a substantial shift from traditional teaching techniques. The authority of a traditional scholar, such as Gus Mus, provides a counter-narrative to less experienced ustaz, indicating pesantren's metamorphosis in the face of modern challenges. This qualitative study employs YouTube content analysis to investigate how local discourse is addressed in spoken interpretations, as well as how oral qualities influence the meaning and relevance of Quranic teachings. Tafsir al-Ibrīz sessions on YouTube demonstrate vernacularization by the use of local language and replies to modern challenges, increasing understanding of Quranic studies. The characteristics of oral interpretation, including the use of conservative language and situational meaning, as well as audience engagement, illustrate how Gus Mus adapts to modernity while preserving the diverse traditions of pesantren teaching.

Abstract

The works of tafsir in Indonesia, from before to after independence, reflect the socioeconomic and cultural situations of the writers and readers, as seen by the employment of numerous scripts such as Arabic, Cacarakan, Jawi, Latin, Lontara, and Pegon. This study analyzes style changes in Oemar Bakry’s Tafsir Rahmat, specifically interpreting Q.S. An-Nisā’ [4]: 15-18. This study used a stylistic technique to detect four types of stile variation in Tafsir Rahmat: word choice, sentence type variation, rhetorical writing style, and cross-referencing. The study discovered that, in addition to script, style variety influences the character of tafsir compositions. Although prior research has focused on language, script, and specific themes in tafsir works, the study of stylistic differences in Tafsir Rahmat remains limited. The analysis results reveal that stile changes not only simplify message delivery, but also enhance the beauty of language in interpretation. This study contributes significantly to the study of tafsir by emphasizing the role of stylistic variation in the efficiency of tafsir communication.  
Reinterpretasi atas QS. al-Baqarah [2]: 234 perspektif Ma’nā-cum-Maghzā Muhammad, Azuma

Abstract

Classical interpretations that often see ‘iddah as simply a waiting period to avoid new marriages or certain activities reduce the complexity of deeper meaning. This is complicated by the increasing role of women today in the public sphere. Thus, encouraging researchers to reinterpret the concept of ‘iddah in Q.S. al-Baqarah [2]: 234. To achieve this goal, this study uses a qualitative method with ma’nā-cum-maghzā theory as an analytical tool. This study shows that Q.S. al-Baqarah [2]: 234 is a verse that talks about efforts to provide a safe space for women to mourn and cope with the loss of a husband. In addition, ‘iddah also serves to protect women from the shackles of social constructions that may be burdensome and harmful. In the context of Islamic law, ‘iddah also provides legal relief that helps women to deal with difficult situations more securely. Last but not least, the authentication of lineage regardless of changing social norms as times evolve must be maintained. Moreover, this verse encourages people to play an active role as agents of social transformation.

Abstract

The textual interpretation of various Quranic verses, particularly those relating to Indonesian societal traditions, reflects an ideological approach that is disseminated through the RodjaTV YouTube channel. The oral explanation of these meanings shapes the listener's perception, leading them to accept the presented interpretation as an accurate reflection of reality. This study aims to uncover the mechanisms through which tradition is integrated into the interpretation of Qur'anic verses. Employing a qualitative method with framing analysis, the research reveals that the explanation of verse meanings—particularly when directly connected to the context of the verse or the historical narrative of the people addressed—creates an analogy with Indonesian traditions. This analogy produces a discursive alignment that suggests a similar treatment and punishment are warranted. This core framing is presented in a unified narrative that serves to validate the perspective offered. The emerging imagery is reinforced through common phrases like “returning to the Qur'an” and “returning to the Sunnah”. The depiction of tradition as analogous to the realities faced by the communities mentioned in the verses is further emphasized by the repeated use of terms such as kafir (unbeliever), misguided, and ghalw (excessiveness). In this framework, desacralization occurs not through the distortion of specific terms, but by forming analogies that equate the targeted subjects of the verses with the traditions practiced in Indonesian society. As a result, these traditions are portrayed as parallel to the disbelief and transgressions of the earlier communities, who were the original focus of the Quranic verses.
