Abstract

The Qur’ānic prescription of one-hundred lashes for fornication in QS An-Nūr 24:2–3 has long provoked tension between classical Islamic jurisprudence and contemporary human-rights norms. Existing commentary, dominated by fiqh-centric, atomistic readings, often neglects the socio-historical matrix that shaped the verse and, consequently, its moral telos. This study reinterprets the passage through Fazlur Rahman’s double-movement hermeneutic within a qualitative research design. Primary data comprise pre-Islamic records of flogging, early, medieval, and modern tafsīr, and statutory applications of ḥ udūd; secondary data derive from recent scholarship on Islamic criminal law and international human-rights law. The first hermeneutic movement reconstructs the historical landscape of corporal punishment from Ancient Rome to early Madīnah, revealing the lash as a socially intelligible deterrent rather than a sacralised ritual. The second movement distils a universal moral ideal—social protection through deterrence—and tests its compatibility with modern human-rights principles. Findings show that the ethical objective of An-Nūr 24:2–3 can be upheld today through non-violent, educational, and restorative measures that respect bodily integrity while preserving the Qur’ān’s preventive intent. The study thus offers a viable framework for reconciling Islamic normative authority with contemporary humanitarian standards

Abstract

This study examines the nationalistic interpretation of Surah al-Fatihah, verse 5, in M. Quraish Shihab’s Tafsir Al-Mishbah, highlighting its historical background and transformative implications for the relationship between religion and nationalism in contemporary Indonesia. Unlike classical exegetes who relatively emphasize the theological-ritualistic dimension, Quraish Shihab interprets na’budu as a representation of collective consciousness that transcends individual worship toward social solidarity and national responsibility. This interpretation is explicitly linked to the second principle of Pancasila, namely “Just and Civilized Humanity.”Using Hans-Georg Gadamer’s hermeneutical framework, particularly the concept of historically effected consciousness, this study argues that Quraish Shihab’s interpretation cannot be separated from his historical horizon and ideological consciousness as an Indonesian Muslim intellectual. This study is a qualitative literature review that analyzes primary sources, namely the Al-Mishbah exegesis and other works by Quraish Shihab, supported by relevant secondary literature.The results of the study indicate that Quraish Shihab’s interpretation constitutes a dialogue between the Qur’anic text and the pluralistic social reality of Indonesia. The emphasis on the values of solidarity, humanity, and nationalism is not merely a development of textual meaning but a reflection of an ideological commitment to harmonizing Islamic teachings with the Indonesian framework. This interpretation has transformative implications by reconstructing the relationship between religion and nationalism from a dichotomous paradigm into a mutually reinforcing one. Thus, Quraish Shihab’s interpretation serves not only as an intellectual product but also as an ideological instrument that promotes inclusive religiosity, strengthens social cohesion, and affirms the compatibility between Islam and national identity in the context of contemporary Indonesia.

Abstract

Penelitian ini mengkaji tradisi tafsir Al-Qur’an di Sumatera Selatan dengan fokus pada pola transmisi keilmuan, manuskrip lokal, dan genealogi intelektual ulama tafsir dari abad ke-18 hingga abad ke-20 Masehi. Studi ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pola transmisi keilmuan tafsir dari ulama Timur Tengah ke ulama lokal Sumatera Selatan, bagaimana manuskrip tafsir lokal mencerminkan tradisi penafsiran yang adaptif terhadap konteks sosial-budaya, serta peran genealogi intelektual ulama dalam membentuk jaringan transmisi keilmuan. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah kualitatif historis-hermeneutik, memadukan analisis filologi dan studi jaringan intelektual. Data diperoleh dari manuskrip tafsir lokal, termasuk karya Masagus Muzammil, Ahmad al-Habsyi, dan KH. Fahrurrozi Seribandung, serta dokumen sejarah terkait ulama dan Kesultanan Palembang. Analisis menelusuri pola penyebaran tafsir, struktur jaringan guru-murid, serta karakteristik tekstual dan fisik manuskrip. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa transmisi keilmuan berlangsung melalui jaringan guru-murid yang terstruktur antara ulama lokal dan ulama dari Aceh, Hadramaut, dan Haramain. Manuskrip lokal menggunakan bahasa Melayu Palembang dan aksara Jawi, menunjukkan adaptasi terhadap konteks lokal, sedangkan karya KH. Fahrurrozi mempertahankan bahasa Arab untuk menjaga otoritas klasik. Genealogi intelektual ulama membentuk jaringan luas yang memungkinkan pengetahuan tafsir ditransmisikan lintas generasi dan menjaga kontinuitas tradisi keilmuan, bahkan tanpa selalu menghasilkan karya tulis baru. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa tradisi tafsir Sumatera Selatan menampilkan perpaduan antara konservasi otoritas klasik dan adaptasi lokal, sekaligus memperlihatkan kapasitas ulama dalam membangun jaringan epistemik yang kokoh dan berkelanjutan.

Abstract

This article examines the discourse of gender exegesis in contemporary Qur’anic studies through a decolonial critique of Islamic feminist epistemology, focusing on the interpretation of Q. 4:34 within the early exegetical tradition. It departs from the thesis that Islamic feminism, while significantly contributing to the deconstruction of patriarchal interpretations, continues to operate within a postcolonial horizon that risks reproducing the coloniality of knowledge. Employing hermeneutical tools such as historical contextualization, intra-textual reading, and a tawhidic paradigm, Islamic feminism advances an egalitarian moral vision of the Qur’an and interprets gender hierarchy as a product of exegetical construction. However, this project also entails epistemological tensions, as it often marginalizes pre-modern exegesis as a residue of patriarchy and promotes an anachronistic reading that evaluates Islamic tradition through modern ethical standards. Through a decolonial lens, this study repositions early tafsir as a legitimate and authoritative hermeneutical partner by demonstrating that classical exegetes possessed coherent methodological foundations and articulated a rational pre-modern moral cosmology within their historical context. In interpreting Q. 4:34, gender relations in early Muslim society are understood as structured upon ethical responsibility and God-consciousness, wherein men and women perform distinct yet complementary roles in a just framework. Accordingly, this article argues that the decolonization of Qur’anic studies necessitates the restoration of the epistemic authority of the classical exegetical tradition.
