Classical Insights, Contemporary Relevance: Understanding Tafsīr bi-al-Maʾthūr in Qurʾānic Studies

Md. Mahdi Hasan — 2025-02-01

This paper explores tafsīr bi-al-maʾthūr, or tradition-based Qurʾānic exegesis, examining its core elements, interpretive diversity, and relevance in both historical and contemporary contexts. Defined by reliance on the Qurʾān itself, prophetic traditions, and the interpretations of the Companions and Successors, tafsīr bi-al-maʾthūr is foundational in Islamic scholarship for preserving original meanings of the Qurʾān. However, its dependence on early sources raises questions about its adaptability to current ethical, legal, and social issues within Muslim communities. Through a qualitative analysis, this study investigates primary interpretative methods within tafsīr bi-al-maʾthūr, including tafsīr al-Qurʾān bi-l-Qurʾān, tafsīr bi-l-ḥadīth, and interpretations by the Companions and Successors. The paper reveals how tafsīr bi-al-maʾthūr maintains Qurʾānic authenticity while offering insights into its potential relevance for contemporary applications. This study contributes to Qurʾānic studies by affirming tafsīr bi-al-maʾthūr as both a resilient and adaptable approach, balancing fidelity to foundational texts with interpretive flexibility in modern Islamic discourse.

Legitimasi Penafsiran DI/TII Sensen Komara tentang Perubahan Arah Kiblat: Analisis Penafsiran QS. Al-Baqarah 142-144

Hafid Nur Muhammad — 2025-02-01

Interpretations with pragmatic and ideological approaches to Qur'anic verses have the potential to trigger deviations in people's understanding. Sensen Komara uses this interpretation to strengthen the ideology and legitimacy of his movement, which has the potential to cause division among Muslims. This study aims to analyze the methods and approaches used by Sensen Komara to examine the legitimacy of Sensen Komara's interpretation of the change in Qibla direction contained in QS. Al-Baqarah verse 142-144, as well as comparing it with authoritative interpretations from leading scholars. The research conducted is library research, namely by collecting library data. This research uses a qualitative-descriptive-analytical method by explaining or describing through clear words and detailing systematically, factually and accurately based on existing data. The interpretation of QS. Al-Baqarah 142-144 by DI/TII Sensen Komara reflects an attempt to use the Qur'an as a means of legitimizing the ideology of their movement. This pragmatic and ideological approach shows the courage to adapt the sacred text according to the context of their struggle. Interpretations that tend to be partial and contextually limited risk ignoring the universal and inclusive dimensions of Qur'ānic verses. As a consequence, the deep spiritual message of changing the Qibla direction as a symbol of Muslim obedience and unity can be reduced to a mere political tool. This interpretation shows the importance of a balance between understanding the historical context and the universal message of the Qur'an.
