Abstract

The diversity of interpretations surrounding the prohibitive figure in QS. Ali ‘Imran [3]: 118, reflected in the terms biṭānah and min dūnikum as presented by various interpreters, carries the potential to foster exclusive behaviors within Muslim communities, especially in multi-religious regions. This study seeks to uncover the historical meaning intended in the verse to clarify the nature of this figure. Utilizing a qualitative approach, with the ma'nā-cum-maghzā method as an analytical tool, the research reveals that biṭānah refers to a close confidant who is granted access to personal information. Interpretations commonly align on this understanding, which contrasts with the term min dūnikum. The latter term is deeply embedded in its immediate context, pointing to a figure who lacks the same level of discretion or shared vision within a friendship. The divergence in vision leads to a potential for betrayal, prompting the verse to issue a caution regarding relationships with such individuals. This caution stems from the character of those who, not sharing the same vision, may harbor ill intentions, both physically and spiritually. The study concludes that the significance of min dūnikumlies not in religious identity but in the nature of the friendship, where differing visions can lead to a propensity for betrayal, even among members of the same community.

Abstract

The growing demand for the printed copy of the Quran, addressed by publishers through various innovations such as the introduction of new pause marks, reflects a shift from use value to commercial value. This study aims to demonstrate this shift by examining how new pause marks are determined. Employing a qualitative method, the research utilizes the qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) model for data analysis. The study reveals differences in the purpose behind implementing new pause marks in waqf-ibtidā’, primarily due to deviations from the syntactical relationships upheld in standard waqf-ibtidā’ rules. A consistent pattern of separation between elements such as fi’il and fā’il, mubtadā’ and khabr, and al-ḥāl and ṣāḥib al-ḥāl is observed. This separation caters to aesthetic considerations, purportedly to accommodate new Qur'an readers who might have shortness of breath. Such a purpose points to the marketing-oriented image-building of waqf-ibtidā’, aiming to facilitate ease in finding stopping points. However, this emphasis on convenience often leads to the distortion of meaning, as it interrupts the linguistic coherence, making the text harder to understand. The focus on innovations that enhance marketability highlights a form of commodification that overlooks the traditional use value of the Qur'an. This shift from use value to commercial value underscores a trend among producers of the printed copy of Quran of waqf-ibtidā’ to place the Quran within an industrial context that promotes religion’s presence in the public sphere.

Abstract

The debate surrounding the subjectivity in aṭ-Ṭabarī’s use of history in his work Jāmi' al-Bayān challenges the perception of its popularity as a widely-referenced tafsīr bi ar-riwāyah (interpretation based on narration). The assumption that aṭ-Ṭabari defended tradition in his Quranic interpretation process necessitates an exploration of the contextual factors shaping his discursive formation. This study aims to uncover the interconnections within this formation by employing qualitative methods supported by archaeological analysis. The findings indicate that the intense intellectual debates during the Abbasid caliphate’s knowledge advancements influenced aṭ-Ṭabari’s interpretive model. The rationalistic tendencies that began to permeate Quranic interpretation were countered by aṭ-Ṭabarī’s decision to rely exclusively on well-known narrations from the Companions and Tabi'in. This approach is reflected in the interpretation of various verses on a majority scale. The intensity of the debates during aṭ-Ṭabarī’s era not only impacted interpretive methods but also extended to legal rulings and theological beliefs, often using Quranic arguments. Aṭ-Ṭabarī's response to this dynamic involved an interpretive model that emphasized the preeminence (tarjīḥ) of specific traditions, revealing his subjective inclinations. Similarly, his approach to responding to fiqh and theological issues, which often involved syllogism and linguistic analysis, demonstrates a tendency to choose meanings while critiquing the interpretive products of various schools of thought, indicating an inconsistency with the school he ostensibly supported. This aspect reveals aṭ-Ṭabarī’s independence from the prevailing mainstream schools of his time.

Abstract

This study examines the application of vernacularization in Al-Amin's translation of the Qur'an, aiming to understand how the adaptation of the Sundanese language influences the comprehension and reception of sacred texts within the local cultural context. The research focuses on the use of both buhun (ancient) and kiwari (modern) languages in the translation, with the goal of aligning the Qur'anic text with Sundanese cultural wisdom. Employing content analysis and Sally Engle Merry's theory of vernacularization, the study investigates how language adaptation reflects the interaction between the Qur'anic text and Sundanese culture. The findings indicate that Al-Amin's translation effectively integrates local cultural elements through the use of buhun language to preserve cultural identity and contemporary language to ensure relevance for modern readers. This balance between tradition and modernity facilitates greater understanding within the local community. Additionally, the research reveals that vernacularization not only addresses linguistic issues but also enhances the understanding of the sacred text by aligning its meaning with the social realities of Sundanese culture. This contributes significantly to translation and cultural interaction studies, demonstrating how Qur'anic translation can act as a bridge between source and target cultures and expand our understanding of how sacred texts are adapted to local contexts.

Abstract

This study investigates how The Study Quran, a commentary led by Seyyed Hossein Nasr, represents religious literacy within the framework of religious and cultural diversity. Employing a qualitative methodology, the research examines this commentary to delineate the concept of religious literacy and illustrates how this concept is manifested in the commentary's interpretation. The findings reveal that "The Study Quran" aims to foster an inclusive discourse by eschewing terminology that could incite sectarian conflict and emphasizing a universal understanding of submission to God. The commentary underscores the significance of interfaith dialogue and diversity while deliberately avoiding extremist interpretations, instead advocating for moderation and justice across various religions. By utilizing a thorough hermeneutical approach and offering a comprehensive understanding of the Quranic teachings, "The Study Quran" emerges as a crucial instrument in promoting peaceful coexistence and mitigating religiously motivated conflicts in multicultural contexts.
