Abstract

This study is driven by the variations in the chronological arrangement of the Qur'an among different nuzūlī tafsirs, reflecting the reasoning systems of interpreters in engaging with the turaṡ tradition. The aim of this research is to explore how geographical contexts shape the reasoning and awareness of mufasirs regarding the discourse on Qur'anic historicity. Utilizing a literature review method, the study examines five nuzūlī tafsirs as primary sources, complemented by relevant secondary research. Foucault's theoretical framework and comparative media analysis are employed to investigate the interactions among nuzūlī tafsirs concerning the Qur'an's chronological arrangement, aiming to uncover the underlying factors behind these differences. The findings reveal that historical awareness and the concept of tartīb al-nuzūl in the modern era have led interpreters to reexamine the chronological debates of the Qur'an. Interpreters from the Arab-Syrian context tend to adopt the turaṡ reasoning system to uphold Islamic identity within the global intellectual landscape, while Al-Jābirī, drawing from the French philosophical tradition, critiques this historical reliance through a deconstructive lens. This epistemic confrontation indicates that discussions on the Qur'an's chronological arrangement remain pertinent for reconstruction, with geographical knowledge significantly influencing the diverse reasoning of interpreters.
Dari Esoteris ke Literal: Penafsiran ar-Rāzī terhadap Huruf Muqatṭa'ah dalam al-Qur'an Salsabila, Laily

Abstract

Discussions about the muqatṭa'ah letters in the Qur’an frequently exhibit a historical bias, focusing predominantly on their linguistic attributes rather than their symbolic or contextual significance. Consequently, many pre-modern mufassirsoften neglect the functional role these letter combinations play, as well as the importance of historical and symbolic contexts in their interpretation. This research seeks to investigate how ar-Rāzī, a prominent pre-modern mufassir, employed context as a key element in interpreting the muqatṭa'ah letters. To achieve this, the study adopts Norman Fairclough's critical discourse analysis framework, which facilitates an examination of the complex discourse within Mafātiḥ al-Ghaib. The study's findings present two primary conclusions. Firstly, ar-Rāzī uses the association between the muqatṭa'ah letters and the subsequent words to establish five interpretative trends: as an indicator of the book, a symbol of the revelation process, a demonstrative word (ism isyārah), a pronoun (ism ḍāmir), and a symbol of the events represented in the text. This method reinforces the argument that the Qur'anic verses beginning with muqatṭa'ah letters underline the identity of the Qur'an as a revelation. Secondly, ar-Rāzī employs an intertextual approach, integrating his interpretations with the historical and cognitive discourse of his era, particularly through the lens of Asy'ariyah theology, which he embraced. By doing so, ar-Rāzī merges objective elements, such as grammatical functions, with subjective components, focusing on divine authority in understanding revelation. This dual approach allows ar-Rāzī to present an interpretation of the muqatṭa'ah letters that encompasses both esoteric and literal aspects, portraying the Qur'an as a text that is rich in both symbolic and historical meaning.

Abstract

This study explores the issue of religious moderation in Indonesia, particularly within the context of QS. al-Baqarah [2]: 143, a verse frequently cited as foundational to the concept of moderation. Amidst the ongoing political climate, the issue of intolerance has become increasingly pertinent, exacerbated by the rise of social media and the influence of political buzzers who often distort information for specific agendas. The research aims to explore how the concept of religious moderation is interpreted by the community and how this interpretation is shaped from textual sources to everyday practices. Employing Hans-Georg Gadamer's hermeneutic method, the study analyzes the term “ummatan wasaṭan” in QS. al-Baqarah [2]: 143, with a focus on the socio-historical context of the text's revelation and its relevance to contemporary life. The findings reveal that the public's understanding of religious moderation is frequently misconstrued as either passive or inflexible, whereas it should be comprehended as embodying fairness and balance. Through descriptive-analytical text analysis, the study concludes that religious moderation, consistent with Gadamer's theory, involves an interplay between the horizon of the text and the horizon of the reader, facilitating a deeper and more contextually relevant understanding of the text in the present day.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the interpretation of QS. Āli 'Imrān [3]: 118-120 within the context of inter-religious relations, particularly between Muslims and non-Muslims, utilizing Jorge J.E. Gracia's hermeneutical approach. The research is grounded in the observed ambivalence within the Qur'anic verses concerning interactions with non-Muslims, which advocate for tolerance and dialogue on one hand, while seemingly imposing limitations on interaction on the other. This study employs a qualitative approach, adopting a literature review method that involves text analysis and draws on both primary and secondary sources, including books, journal articles, and other academic works. Gracia’s theory, which highlights the significance of socio-historical context in textual interpretation, serves as the primary analytical framework. The findings suggest that a literal interpretation of QS. Āli 'Imrān [3]: 118-120, which appears to restrict relations with non-Muslims, often fails to account for the historical and contextual circumstances surrounding the revelation of the verse. A hermeneutical approach indicates that such restrictions should be understood within the socio-political context of early Islam, rather than as universal principles applicable to all contexts. These insights contribute significantly to fostering a more inclusive and contextually relevant understanding of interfaith relations, particularly within contemporary societies that are increasingly pluralistic and interconnected on a global scale.

Abstract

Berbicara hal terkait ketuhanan atau konsep Tuhan banyak aspek yang perlu diulas lebih mendalam. Hal ini sangat diperlukan untuk mencari eksistensi agama dan kepercayaan  dalam beragama. Tulisan ini berusaha mengungkap hal tersebut, dengan fokus kajian terkait bagaimana Konsep Tuhan itu dilihat dari persepektif tiga agama yaitu Islam, Hindu, dan Kristen serta bagaimana eksistensi Tuhan dilihat dari Teori Antropomorfisme dan Transenden-Imanen. Dari penjelasan dan penjabaran yang ada, didapatkan hasil bahwa disimpulkan bahwa dari setiap agama itu memiliki konsep Tuhan masing-masing, dimana konsep tersebut tidak dapat disamakan satu dengan lainnya. Kristen memandang Tuhan dengan konsep Trinitas, yaitu memandang Tuhan dengan tiga wujud-Nya, yaitu Tuhan Anak, Tuhan Bapak, dan Roh Kudus. Sedangkan Islam menganggap Tuhan sebagai sosok yang Esa, tiada Tuhan Selain Allah. Bahkan, Ia tidak beranak dan juga tidak diperanakkan. Kemudian jika dilihat dari perspektif  Hindu di sebut  Brahman/ Isa. Penyebutan Isa di sini Īśā. Īśā adalah jiwa dari seluruh alam semesta, yaitu Tuhan Yang Maha Pencipta, asal dan kembalinya alam semesta dan beserta isinya. Kemudian konsep tersebut dilihat dari perspektif ketiga terori, maka akan menhasilkan pemahaman yang berbeda-beda.

Abstract

The interpretation of the word auliya in Islamic exegesis is a significant issue because it is linked to concepts of loyalty, friendship, and leadership within a religious framework. The classical tafsir works, Anwar at-Tanzil and al-Kasysyāf, provide differing perspectives on the meaning of auliya. This article seeks to bridge this gap by examining the interpretation of auliya in Anwar at-Tanzil and al-Kasysyāf and tracing the influence of one upon the other using Julia Kristeva's intertextuality approach. Employing a thematic method, this study focuses specifically on the meaning of auliyaas its primary subject of analysis. The findings reveal that al-Baiḍawī's interpretation of auliya is heavily influenced by the earlier interpretation found in al-Kasysyāf. Through Kristeva's intertextuality framework, it becomes evident that the principles of parallelism, modification, and expansion or haplology play a dominant role in this influence. The prevalence of these principles points to a tendency towards transposition as an ideologeme, marked by the inclusion of elements of addition, subtraction, adjustment, and the reorganization of ideas in al-Baiḍawī's interpretation of auliya.

Abstract

Moderasi beragama adalah suatu keniscayaan yang harus diwujudkan di Indonesia, mengingat pluralitas agama merupakan landasan fundamental berdirinya bangsa ini. Moderasi ini tidak hanya relevan dalam konteks sosial, tetapi juga esensial untuk menjaga stabilitas nasional dan keharmonisan antar umat beragama. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi nilai-nilai resiprokal dalam moderasi beragama sebagaimana diisyaratkan dalam QS. Al-Baqarah: 143. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan Qirā’ah Mubādalah yang dikembangkan oleh Faqihuddin Abdul Kodir, yang menekankan penafsiran yang inklusif dan berkeadilan. Pendekatan ini tidak hanya menekankan penafsiran egaliter antara laki-laki dan perempuan, tetapi juga dapat diaplikasikan untuk mengidentifikasi nilai-nilai kesalingan dalam teks-teks keagamaan, yang menjadi landasan penting dalam upaya mempromosikan toleransi dan penghormatan antar umat beragama. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa QS. Al-Baqarah: 143 mengandung dua nilai resiprokal yang mendukung moderasi beragama: pertama, nilai saling menghormati antar pemeluk agama; kedua, nilai menjaga kerukunan antar umat beragama. Kedua nilai ini memperkuat argumen bahwa moderasi beragama bukan hanya sebuah konsep teoretis, tetapi juga merupakan bagian integral dari ajaran Islam yang perlu diimplementasikan dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat di Indonesia. Lebih jauh, penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa moderasi beragama, sebagaimana diuraikan dalam Al-Qur'an, adalah solusi efektif untuk menangkal ekstremisme dan radikalisme yang dapat mengancam kohesi sosial di Indonesia.

Abstract

The concept of khilafah in Islamic thought has sparked considerable debate and conflict, particularly following the rise of the Hizbut Tahrir (HT) movement, which advocates for the establishment of a global Islamic government based on Taqiyuddin al-Nabhani's interpretation of khilafah. This study aims to trace the evolution of the meaning of khilafah from its origins in the Qur'an to its modern interpretation by al-Nabhani. Utilizing Julia Kristeva's intertextuality approach, the study explores how these changes in meaning occur and identifies the sources that have influenced al-Nabhani's thought. The findings indicate that the concept of khilafah in the Qur'an fundamentally denotes representation, applicable to both humans as God's vicegerents on earth and within a governmental framework. Nevertheless, the Qur'an does not provide explicit, detailed guidelines regarding the khilafah as a system of governance. Al-Nabhani reinterprets khilafah as a government founded on Islamic Shari'ah, structured around four primary pillars, and intended to have a global reach. The study reveals significant shifts in the meaning of khilafah, characterized by processes of transformation, modification, and expansion, reflecting the context and ideological perspectives that al-Nabhani introduces. These shifts are marked by the ideologeme of transposition, illustrating the adaptation of the concept to fit new ideological frameworks and contexts.

Abstract

The methodology can be used in the interpretation of the Qur'an is ra’y, means ijtihad. In order to produce a correct methodologically interpretation, ra’y should be accompanied by certain requirements and methodological steps, such as knowing the rules of interpretation and linguistic sciences. Al-Kasysyaf is one of many interpretation books have been criticized by the strong ideological tendencies of its commentator. It can be seen in the interpretation of verses which have ideological content. Since Al-Zamakhsyari, the commentator, was also known by his expertise in language and literature, it raises a question, what if the verses contain ideology are not possible to be interpreted according to i’tizal when follows the rules of linguistic? This question is what the author intends to examine. This study aims to the implementation of the rule of marji‘ al-dlamir in verses mention the word man yasya’. After using both linguistic approach and theological approach to determine the direction of the interpretation produced by Al-Zamakhsyari, the study found that the rule of marji‘ al-dlamir is still applied thoroughly. However, the result of interpretation still has the nuance of i’tizal because of the takwil used by Al-Zamakhsyari.

Abstract

The debate over changing the term kafir to non-Muslim has become a prominent issue in Indonesia in recent years. This study aims to uncover the contextual meaning behind the interpretation of QS. At-Taubah: 5, which is central to this debate. Utilizing a contextual approach, the research focuses on both linguistic and historical analyses of QS. At-Taubah: 5. Linguistically, this verse is often quoted out of context by hardline Muslim groups without considering its connection to the surrounding verses, as well as related verses such as QS. al-Anfal 54-58. Historically, the verse is closely linked to the context of war arising from treaty violations. In pre-Islamic Arab society, war was a deeply ingrained part of the culture, and this verse specifically addresses conflicts triggered by treaty violations by certain groups, rather than targeting all polytheists. The findings suggest that the relevance of QS. At-Taubah: 5 needs to be reconsidered in the modern context, especially given that wars are now infrequent, particularly in Indonesia. Furthermore, the categorization of infidels is likely to evolve over time in response to changing societal norms and political dynamics. A reinterpretation using a contextual approach can provide a clearer understanding of the verse and help prevent its misuse to justify acts of violence.
