Dari Postmodernisme ke Dekolonialitas: Kritik atas Wacana Tafsir Gender dalam Kajian Al-Qur’an Kontemporer melalui Pembacaan QS. 4:34 dalam Tafsir Awal
type: item
description: 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.

Transmisi Keilmuan dan Jaringan Ulama Tafsir Al-Qur’an Sumatera Selatan Abad 18-20 H
type: item
description: 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.

Tafsir sebagai Ruang Ketiga: Hermeneutika Pesantren dan Ambivalensi Epistemik dalam Islam Poskolonial
type: item
description: This study examines the epistemological construction of pesantren Qur’anic exegesis within a postcolonial framework by analyzing three contemporary works: Safīnah Kallā Saya‘lamūn, Hidayatul Qur’an, and Firdaus al-Na‘īm. The research addresses a persistent gap in scholarship that relegates pesantren exegesis to a marginal and non-innovative tradition, often overlooking its dynamic engagement with modern intellectual demands. Employing a qualitative interpretive method and drawing on Homi K. Bhabha’s postcolonial concepts of ambivalence, mimicry, and hybridity, this study explores how pesantren scholars negotiate between classical epistemic authority and contemporary academic expectations. The findings demonstrate that pesantren exegetes construct a hybrid form of knowledge through the selective integration of traditional authoritative frameworks with modern scholarly structures. This hybrid model highlights the agency of pesantren in shaping Qur’anic epistemology that is both contextually grounded and capable of challenging colonial and orientalist representations. The study argues that pesantren tafsir functions as an active participant in the global circulation of Qur’anic interpretation, offering alternative epistemic pathways that contribute significantly to the broader project of decolonizing Islamic studies.

Batasan Aurat Perempuan Dalam Tafsir Al-Hidayah Karya Sa’ad Abdul Wahid: Antara Independensi Hermeneutis atau Reproduksi Wacana Institusional
type: item
description: This research is motivated by the discourse and dialectical tension regarding the claim of independence of ijtihad in modern tafsir literature when faced with the sociological reality of exegetes who have strong ties to the authority of religious institutions. The main focus of this study is Tafsir Al-Hidayah by Sa'ad Abdul Wahid, an intellectual figure who once held a central position in the Muhammadiyah Tarjih Council. This tafsir work methodologically claims to use an izdiwajiy approach (a combination of narration and reason) independently, especially in interpreting legal verses such as the limits of women's genitals in Q.S. An-Nuur [24]: 31. Therefore, this study aims to critically examine the claim of independence by tracing and revealing the intertextual relationship between Tafsir Al-Hidayah and the official decisions of institutions contained in the Risalah Adabul Mar'ah Fil Islam. Using library-based qualitative research with Julia Kristeva's intertextuality analysis, this study dissects the ideological relationship between the genotext (the Adabul Mar'ah) and the phenotext (the Tafsir Al-Hidayah). The results of the study show three main findings: first, there is a parallelism of diction and identical argument structure related to the concepts of "modesty" and "social needs"; second, the operation of the politics of citing evidence through strict selection and exclusion of narrations that require the veil in order to accommodate the organization's views; and third, the transposition of functional-sociological logic regarding the public role of women from organizational documents into the narrative of the interpretation. These findings prove that methodological independence in the Tafsir Al-Hidayah is not inauthentic independence because the hermeneutic process has been framed by the collective institutional reasoning of Muhammadiyah.

Tafsir Digital dan Hibridisasi Bahasa: Dimensi Kontekstual Q.S. Al-Jumu'ah 62:11 dalam Podcast Spotify Ngafal-Ngefeel
type: item
description: The development of digital media has created a new ecosystem for the practice of interpreting the Qur’an that goes beyond conventional study forums. The podcast “Ngafal-Ngefeel” on Spotify is one manifestation of this shift, in which the sacred text is interpreted in an audio-only, dialogic format that is accessible to Millennials and Gen Z. This article analyzes how the hybridization of language in the podcast functions as a contextual hermeneutic strategy in interpreting Qur’anic Surah Al-Jumu’ah, verses 9 through 11, using Abdullah Saeed’s framework of contextual exegesis. This study demonstrates that the interpreter consistently employs a blend of Arabic, English, and popular Indonesian terms such as “distract,” “cuan,” “flash sale,” and “scroll culture” as contextualization mechanisms that bridge the historical meaning of the verses with the reality of the audience’s digital lives. Saeed’s hierarchy of values has been shown to operate simultaneously: obligatory values affirm the obligation of Friday prayer; fundamental values redefine tijarah and lahwun in the context of the contemporary economy and digital distractions; while contextual values foster ethical awareness regarding the culture of consumerism and excessive productivity. Furthermore, Spotify’s audio-only medium has been shown to create a distinctive hermeneutic character, in which the prosody of the voice, intonation, and narrative rhythm become active components in the production of religious meaning. This finding introduces audio-digital hermeneutics as a relevant typology of contemporary interpretation developed within the field of digital exegesis.

Kyai Authority in Nonformal Qur'anic Education: Enlivening The Qur'an, Interpretive Authority, and Religious Practice
type: item
description: This article examines kyai authority in nonformal Qur'anic education by focusing on how religious leaders obtain and exercise interpretive authority through their capacity to enliven the Qur'an according to community needs in Pelangwot Village, Lamongan, East Java. The study addresses two research questions: (1) what are the forms of kyai authority in nonformal educational contexts? (2) why do these kyai obtain authority in their community? Employing a qualitative case-study design, the research gathered data through participant observation in TPQ learning sessions and mau'izhah forums, semi-structured interviews with teachers, kyai, and students, and analysis of institutional documents and teaching references. Data were analyzed using thematic coding to identify recurring patterns. Findings reveal two key dimensions. First, the forms of kyai authority in nonformal settings are predominantly socio-cultural, rooted in teacher-student transmission chains and community recognition rather than formal institutional structures. Kyai authority operates through teacher-student knowledge transmission, tolerates interpretive differences to maintain harmony, and remains fragmented across institutions. Second, kyai obtain their authority through the continuous labor of enlivening the Qur'an—selectively mobilizing established verses and hadith including "khairukum man ta'allam al-Qur'āna wa 'allamahu," QS Āli 'Imrān 3:18, QS az-Zumar 39:9, and QS al-'Alaq 96:1-5 as motivational and legitimizing devices in daily pedagogical practice. The article argues that kyai authority in nonformal settings is assembled through persistent community-building labor that translates scriptural meanings into locally relevant moral guidance. This contributes to scholarship on Islamic religious authority by demonstrating how authority emerges not from formal credentials but from the ongoing work of making sacred texts alive for community needs.

Hudūd dalam Al-Qur’an: Pembacaan Ulang Hermeneutik atas Hukuman Seratus Cambukan dalam QS. An-Nūr [24]: 2-3
type: item
description: 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

Narrative Analysis and the Transformation of Exegetical Methodology: A Systematic Literature Review of Methodological Approaches and Interpretive Frameworks (2000-2025)
type: item
description: The application of narrative analysis to Quranic interpretation (tafsir) has emerged as a significant methodological approach in contemporary Islamic scholarship, bridging classical exegetical traditions with modern literary theory. This systematic literature review examines the development of narrative analysis methodology as a formal analytical framework for interpreting the Qur’an between 2000 and 2025. In this study, tafsir is no longer treated as the primary methodological framework; rather, it is positioned as historical and textual data that can be analyzed using modern narratological tools. The analysis reveals three dominant approaches in treating tafsir texts as material objects: structural analysis, intertextual analysis, and contextual analysis. Following PRISMA guidelines, we conducted a comprehensive search across multiple academic databases, identifying 191 relevant studies. The review identifies significant methodological innovations, including the integration of digital humanities tools, comparative narrative approaches, and cross-cultural interpretive frameworks. Key findings indicate that narrative analysis in tafsir has evolved from descriptive storytelling approaches to sophisticated hermeneutical methodologies that engage with both classical Islamic exegetical traditions and contemporary literary theory. The study reveals gaps in comparative cross-cultural narrative analysis and limited integration of cognitive narrative theory. This review contributes to the understanding of contemporary tafsir methodology and provides a foundation for future research in narrative-based Quranic interpretation.

Interpretation of Surah Al-Fatihah verse 5 in Tafsir Al-Mishbah: Historically Effected Consciousness and the Construction of National Values
type: item
description: 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.

Modernitas dan Konteks Sosial dalam Penafsiran Al-Qur’an: Studi Komparatif QS. Al-Baqarah [2]: 256 dalam Tafsir Al-Manār dan Tafsir Al-Azhar
type: item
description: This article aims to comparatively examine the interpretation of QS. Al-Baqarah [2]:256 in two influential modern tafsir works: Tafsir al-Manār and Tafsir al-Azhar. The analysis focuses on their methodological approaches, social contexts, and discursive orientations. Employing a comparative-hermeneutic framework and contextual discourse analysis, this study finds that although both interpretations reject religious coercion, they exhibit significantly different interpretive styles and argumentative strategies. Al-Manār employs a rational-philosophical and apologetic approach, clearly targeting intellectuals, reformists, and a global readership amid the 20th-century Islamic reform movement in Egypt. In contrast, al-Azhar emphasizes psychological, contextual, and populist dimensions, aiming at the general public, students, and local Indonesian figures in the post-colonial era. These findings underscore that tafsir is not merely the result of textual understanding but also a dynamic expression of the interplay between text, interpreter, and socio-cultural context. This study offers a valuable contribution to strengthening religious moderation through Qur’anic interpretation studies.

Dari Penafsiran Yang Keras Ke Lembut: Kontekstualisasi QS. at-Taubah [9]: 5 Melalui Lensa Double Movement Fazlur Rahman
type: item
description: QS. At-Taubah [9]: 5 has often been interpreted literally by classical exegetes and some modern commentators as a command to kill polytheists, thereby giving the verse a tone of violence. Such interpretations tend to overlook the historical context and moral objectives of the verse, thus limiting the possibility of uncovering more contextual and ethical meanings. This study therefore seeks to reveal a more tolerant understanding of QS. at-Taubah [9]: 5 through Fazlur Rahman’s double movement hermeneutical approach. The main focus is to analyze the verse’s original meaning, the historical and sociological context at the time of its revelation, and how this approach can contextualize the verse so as to draw out the ethical values that have often been neglected in traditional exegesis. To achieve this aim, the research employs a qualitative approach using a literature review method to examine QS. at-Taubah [9]: 5 through a hermeneutical lens, in order to uncover its potential for a more contextual meaning. The findings indicate that, textually, QS. at-Taubah [9]: 5 contains imperative forms such as “kill” and “capture.” However, from both linguistic and exegetical perspectives, these commands are contextual and directed solely toward polytheists who had violated a peace treaty. The verse was revealed after the conquest of Mecca, when the Muslim community had become the dominant power, and the command to fight was issued in response to threats posed by polytheist groups who had breached their commitments to peace. Through the hermeneutical framework, the meaning of this verse is contextualized so that it aligns with the ethical principles of Islam, which reject violence except in defense against a genuine threat. This study demonstrates that the verse commonly classified as an ayat qital (verse of fighting) does not, in fact, promote violence. Rather, it underscores values of justice, peace, and tolerance, principles that are fully consistent with the ideal of peaceful …

The Integrative Model in Qur'anic Interpretation at UIN Sunan Kalijaga: A Contributory Analysis of the Ma'na-cum-Maghza and Maqasidi Approaches
type: item
description: This study examines the integrative model of Qur'anic interpretation developed at UIN Sunan Kalijaga, with a focus on the contributions of two contemporary approaches: ma'na-cum-maghza and maqasidi. These approaches represent scholarly efforts to merge textual meaning with contextual relevance in understanding the message of the Qur'an. The ma'na-cum-maghza approach emphasizes uncovering the deeper meanings behind the text, while the maqasidi approach centers on the universal objectives and values that sharia aims to realize. Through a literature review and analysis of academic works produced at UIN Sunan Kalijaga, this study demonstrates that the integrative model not only enriches tafsir methodology but also offers a more adaptive response to the challenges of the modern era. As such, this model makes a significant contribution to the development of a contextual, relevant, and transformative Qur'anic interpretation.

description: The Legal Reconstruction of Marriage Dispensation in Indonesia through a Theo-Juridical Approach in the Perspective of the Qur’an aims to re-examine the practice of underage marriage within the context of Islamic law, particularly from the perspective of the Qur’an, and to recommend a form of legal reconstruction within the Indonesian legal system. Child marriage remains a persistent legal and social phenomenon across various regions in Indonesia, despite the revision of the minimum marriageable age through Law Number 16 of 2019. A legal loophole in the form of marriage dispensation, as stated in Article 7 paragraph (2), creates room for practices that contradict the principles of child protection. This study employs a normative-juridical method and thematic (maudhū‘i) interpretation of Qur’anic verses related to marriage, family responsibility, and child protection. The findings indicate that the Qur’an emphasizes not only biological readiness but also intellectual maturity (rushd) as an ideal requirement for marriage. The practice of marriage dispensation is considered inconsistent with maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, particularly in the aspects of protecting life, intellect, lineage, and the dignity of children. This paper recommends legal reconstruction that includes statutory reform, strengthening of law enforcement structures, and transformation of legal culture in society based on Qur’anic values.

Antara Rasionalisasi dan Spekulasi: Tinjauan atas Pembacaan Kontemporer Kisah-Kisah al-Qur’an versi Muḥammad Syaḥrūr
type: item
description: Tulisan ini membahas konsep pembacaan kontemporer terhadap kisah-kisah dalam al-Qur’an menurut Muḥammad Syaḥrūr, seorang pemikir Islam progresif yang menekankan pentingnya pendekatan rasional dan ilmiah dalam memahami teks al-Qur’an. Fokus kajian ini tertuju pada tiga asumsi dasar dalam pembacaan Syaḥrūr: (1) analisis linguistik berdasarkan ketergantungan pada teks al-Qur’an, (2) kecenderungan menyelaraskan makna teks dengan sains modern, dan (3) asumsi mengenai evolusi wahyu antar generasi para nabi. Dengan studi kasus pada kisah Nabi Nūḥ a.s., tulisan ini menunjukkan bagaimana Syaḥrūr mengonstruksi penafsiran ayat-ayat kisah ini untuk mendukung tesis evolusi risalah, mulai dari ketidakhadiran formalisasi syariat, rasionalisasi mukjizat, hingga pentakwilan usia Nabi Nūḥ. Kajian ini menggunakan metode elaborative-kritsi terhadap karya Syaḥrūr tentan tema ini. Ditemukan bahwa meskipun menawarkan pembacaan progresif, interpretasi Syaḥrūr tidak luput dari jebakan spekulasi historis dan dramatisasi saintifik yang justru menggeser kesetiaannya terhadap ketergantungan pada teks al-Qur’an.

Semiotika Kiblat: Analisis Peircean terhadap Tafsir At-Tanwir Muhammadiyah
type: item
description: The significance of this study lies in the understanding that the concept of the qibla in Islam is not merely a geographical direction but a symbol of identity, unity, and spiritual orientation for Muslims. In the modern era, the interpretation of the qibla faces challenges due to the developments in science, culture, and societal dynamics. The material object of this research is the concept of the qibla as interpreted in Tafsir At-Tanwir, while the formal object is the semiotic analysis of Charles Sanders Peirce, which views signs as a triadic relationship between the representamen, object, and interpretant. This study aims to uncover the profound meanings of the qibla concept through a comprehensive semiotic approach. The research employs a qualitative descriptive-analytical method with Peirce's semiotic theory as the analytical framework. Primary data are derived from Tafsir At-Tanwir, authored by the Muhammadiyah Council for Tarjih and Tajdid, while secondary data include literature on semiotics, Quranic exegesis, and socio-cultural studies related to the concept of the qibla. The analytical technique involves identifying the three core elements of a sign—representamen, object, and interpretant—and exploring their interrelations within historical, social, and theological contexts. The findings reveal that the qibla concept in Tafsir At-Tanwir is interpreted in multiple dimensions: as the direction of worship, the exclusive identity of Muslims, a symbol of an egalitarian social system, and an instrument for shaping the ideal personality of an Islamic society.

Angelika Neuwirth's Feminist Hermeneutics of Q.S. Āli 'Imrān (3): 7: The Interpretation of Mutasyābihāt Verses and Muḥkamāt Verses
type: item
description: The reading of Q.S. Āli 'Imrān (3): 7, especially in relation to mutasyābihāt verses (similar, vague, similar to one another, cannot stand alone) and muḥkamāt verses (definite, firm, clear), generally have nothing to do with gender issues. With a critical approach, especially literary and historical approaches, Angelika Neuwirth presents a different interpretation, which implicitly displays the Hermeneutics of Feminism, where muḥkamāt verses and mutasyābihāt verses can be positioned as a discourse of gender equality. This research aims to develop the muḥkamāt-mutasyābihāt theory from Angelika Neuwirth's perspective. The method used is the “qualitative grounded theory” method. The research data is obtained through library research, which is taken from data sources in the form of writings or statements of Angelika Neuwirth regarding Q.S. Āli 'Imrān (3): 7, as well as data from other sources related to muḥkamāt-mutasyābihāt verses. The data collected were then analyzed and interpreted in such a way. The results show that the reading of Q.S. Āli 'Imrān (3): 7 is closely related to feminist hermeneutics, and therefore has evolved.

Abu Hayyân's Interpretation of the Verses of Law (Study of the Verse of the Relationship between Husband and Wife in Verse Qs. Al-Baqarah [2]: 222)
type: item
description: This research examines Abu Hayyan's methodology in the tafsir 'al-Bahr al-Muhit,' especially in interpreting QS. Al-Baqarah [2]: 222, by comparing mutawatir and shādzdzah qirât. Abu Hayyan's approach highlights the interaction between qirât and legal interpretation and compares it with other scholars to assess his contribution to Islamic jurisprudence. This study is qualitative research using descriptive-analytical methods. It analyses Abu Hayyan's interpretation, especially in his work al-Bahr al-Muhit, by comparing the different interpretations of other scholars to gain a broader insight. This study concludes that Abu Hayyân succeeded in showing that qirât syâdzdzah can be used to interpret the Qur'an. Qirât shâdzdzah can be compromised with qirât mutawatir to provide a more holistic interpretation in the study of interpretation and Islamic jurisprudence.

Reintepretasi terhadap Ayat-Ayat Khamr dalam Al-Qur’an: Analisis Intertekstual Julia Kristeva
type: item
description: It is known that the problem of alcoholic beverages has been prevalent in the past and is still prevalent today. This action leads to many bad things that can damage yourself and cause others. This article seeks to give new thoughts on real or existing problems in the Qur'an. Efforts to explore or analyze the text of the Qur'an, especially discussing alcohol, can be reviewed from a literary (language) perspective, also known as semiotics. This research wants to see how the role of Julia Kristeva's semiotics with its intertextuality approach theory to reveal and trace from one text to another related to the discussion being studied. So it takes a type of qualitative research that is literature in which the collection of data is taken from books, scientific works, especially those related to liquor. The purpose of applying Julia Kristeva's intertextuality theory is to analyze the data that has been collected in order to reveal the transformations, modifications and parallels that occur from all texts. The results obtained from Julia Kristeva's intertextuality theory regarding liquor. There are transformations, modifications and parallels that occur in the three verses about liquor, namely QS. Al-Baqarah (2): 219, QS. An-Nisa' (4): 43 and QS. Al-Ma'idah (5): 90-91. The first verse warns that intoxicants contain many evils and harms. The second verse explains that it is not recommended to pray while drunk. It is known that the habits of the Arab community at that time could not be separated from liquor, even when they wanted to pray. This is the transformation and modification that occurs in the first verse to the second verse. The parallel is known in the previous two verses and this third verse both discuss liquor, but in this verse there is a meaning of confirmation of the prohibition of liquor.

Mengurai Kontroversi Kafir: Konteks Historis dan Linguistik QS. At-Taubah [9]: 5
type: item
description: 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.

Ideologi dalam Bahasa Mufasir: Analisis Marji’ al-Ḍamir pada Tafsir al-Kasysyāf Karya az-Zamakhsyari
type: item
description: 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.

Dari al-Qur’an ke Hizbut Tahrir: Evolusi Makna Khilafah dalam Pemikiran Taqiyuddin al-Nabhani
type: item
description: 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.

Nilai-Nilai Resiprokal dalam Moderasi Beragama: Analisis Qirā’ah Mubādalah terhadap QS. Al-Baqarah [2]: 143
type: item
description: 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.

Intertekstualitas Tafsir: Mengungkap Keterpengaruhan Anwār at-Tanzīl terhadap Al-Kasysyāf dalam Pemaknaan Kata Auliya
type: item
description: 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.

Persepsi Ketuhanan dalam Tiga Agama: Analisis Komparatif terhadap al-Qur’an, Bible, dan Regweda
type: item
description: 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.

Menggali Makna di Balik Teks: Analisis Hermeneutika QS. Āli 'Imrān [3]: 118-120 untuk Dialog Antaragama
type: item
description: 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.

Kontekstualisasi Konsep Moderat dalam Al-Qur’an: Analisis QS. Al-Baqarah [2]:143
type: item
description: 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.

Dari Esoteris ke Literal: Penafsiran ar-Rāzī terhadap Huruf Muqatṭa'ah dalam al-Qur'an
type: item
description: 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.

description: 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.

Ketika al-Qur’an Bertemu Modernitas: Penerimaan Pemikir Kontemporer Islam dalam Konteks Kebebasan Beragama
type: item
description: The renewal concepts offered by contemporary Indonesian thinkers on actual issues involve legitimizing their views through the Quran. The approach of validating these issues, such as religious freedom, using various Quranic verses showcases a range of interpretations that can appear subjective and arbitrary. This research seeks to uncover the dialectical relationship between contemporary Indonesian thinkers, specifically Nurcholis Madjid, Abdurrahman Wahid, and Djohan Effendi, and the Quran, which forms a response of meaning to address current issues. Employing a qualitative methodology, the study utilizes Hans Robert Jauss’reception theory for data analysis. The findings indicate that the tendency to use the Qur'an in addressing actual issues is grounded in the compatibility of meaning, using the keywords within the verses that align with the issues being discussed. When suitable keywords are identified in a verse, they are interpreted with a dominance of the initial impression of understanding, primarily based on their linguistic meanings. This uniformity in meaning perception, which emphasizes objective meaning through language, is then applied to the contemporary context. The perception of liberal interpretation arises because the traditional interpretative moment, which mediates various perspectives of past interpreters, is often bypassed. As a result, these interpretative efforts cannot be fully categorized under the concept of contextual interpretation. However, the determination of objective meaning through textual analysis, extended to a new context that incorporates the subjective experiences of each thinker, makes this understanding mechanism not as subjective as commonly assumed.
