Cultivating the Linguistic Interpretation of 'Al-Istiwā' and its Impact on the Mu'utazili Doctrine According to Al-Zamakhshari's Tafsir Al-Kashaf

Nasir Yahaya — 2024-07-23

Islamic thought has produced many intellectual and scientific schools, within which many personalities in different scientific fields have emerged. Al-Zamakhshari (d. 538H) is regarded as one of the most influential figures from the Mu’tazila school of thought in the history of Arab and Islamic culture. This study aims to reveal the direction and impact of Mu'tazila thought on the interpretation of verses related to Istiwa through Zamakhshari's book "Al-Kashaf" to expand the definition of the linguistic meanings presented by Al-Zamakhshari and analyze the contexts in which he dealt with this concept. The significance of this article lies in understanding the mechanisms of interpretation upon which Al-Zamakhshari relied in defending his belief by using reasoning and language to disassociate and free the Almighty from being similar or resembling the creature. The research used the descriptive-analytical approach to highlight the aspects used in al-Zamakhshari's interpretation of the concept of Istiwa. The study finds that the interpretations of the verses related to al-Istiwa Zamakhshari are purely linguistic-based interpretations, which he employs and links to the significance and context meaning according to what supports his Mu’tazili doctrine.

Niken Sylvia Puspitasari — 2024-07-23

This research is motivated by the rise of ableism. This research aims to discover Disability in the Qur'an Manifestation of Repositioning from Exclusive to Inclusive. This research uses library research by making the library the primary source for obtaining data. This research uses a qualitative approach to examine the theme of disability in the Qur'an and how the sacred text can be understood in a modern context as an effort to reposition from exclusive to inclusive. The results show that the Qur'an has many words for disability, namely, a'ma/ umyun, akmah, bukmun, shummun, and a'raj. There are 38 verses spread across 26 surahs of the Quran. There are four verses in the entire Qur'an about a person that speaks directly about their attitude towards a disabled person or refers to a person with a physical disability. The Qur'an sees people with disabilities as having to be tolerant like ordinary people or behave equally towards others, especially those who are weak to discrimination, which is a manifestation of the repositioning of exclusive to inclusive.

Model Penafsiran Kontemporer: Kajian Epistemologis terhadap al-Tafsîr al-Wasîț li-al-Qur’ân al-Karîm

Sufyan Muttaqin — 2024-07-23

Tafsir di era kontemporer dituntut untuk mampu menyajikan petunjuk-petunjuk al-Qur’an secara dinamis dalam rangka menjawab tantangan zaman. Demi memenuhi kebutuhan itu, tak sedikit mufassir masa kini yang berupaya menyusun tafsir-tafsirnya dengan gaya, pendekatan, dan metode yang berbeda dengan tafsir-tafsir klasik. Al-Tafsi>r al-Wasi>t} li-al-Qur’a>n al-Kari>m karya Muh}ammad Sayyid T{ant}a>wi> adalah salah satu karya tafsir yang ditulis untuk memenuhi kebutuhan

itu. Tulisan ini tidak sependapat dengan pandangan yang menilai tafsir kontemporer sebagai genre tafsir yang memiliki distinggsi epistemologis tersendiri, namun mendukung pendapat yang memahami tafsir kontemporer secara terbuka sebagai karya-karya tafsir yang ditulis di masa kini dengan beragam genre-nya. Menggunakan metode kualitatif dan pendekatan interpretatif, tulisan ini menunjukkan bahwa al-Tafsi>r al-Wasi>t} adalah salah satu tafsir kontemporer yang ditulis untuk merespon berbagai persoalan kehidupan saat ini. Epistemologi tafsir ini berpatok pada tiga prinsip utama, yaitu penyajian produk tafsir secara praktis; integrasi antara riwayat dan nalar; dan orientasi pada pemecahan permasalahan kontemporer. Meski bertumpu pada metodologi tafsir tradisional, tafsir ini relatif mampu menghadirkan penafsiran yang fleksibel terkait isu-isu kontemporer tertentu, tanpa menegasikan kaidah-kaidah yang disepakati bersama (al-qat}‘iyya>t).

Zulkifli Zulkifli — 2024-07-23

Seeing the reality of today's society, moral degradation has arisen in humans, so it is essential to improve ourselves by returning humans to their existence as servants of Allah SWT. One alternative is to study and practice the teachings of Sufism. In the teachings, there are spiritual stages (maqâmât) to achieve perfection as a servant of Allah. The focus of this research is to examine Hamka's interpretation style in al-Azhar's tafsir by explaining his interpretation regarding the maqâmât verses so that the dimensions of Sufism and its relevance found in Hamka's al-Azhar tafsir are known. This research aims to find out Hamka's style and interpretation in al-Azhar's interpretation regarding the maqâmât verses and the dimensions of Sufism contained in them so that we can find out whether maqâmât is still relevant or not to be practiced in the present era. The methodology used in this research is qualitative library research (library research) with a mauḍu'i model of the Sufism approach that focuses on maqâmât verses using descriptive-analytical analysis of Hamka's Sufism thought. The results of this discussion show thatHamka's interpretation of the verses of maqâmât is in the style of Sufism by exploring the meaning of zahir and theinner meaning in which there are nuances to society (Adabi Ijtima'i) covering the socio-culture of Indonesianculture so that the dimension of Sufism contained in Hamka's interpretation is still very relevant to modern lifetoday.
