Rosyida Amalia — 2025-08-06

This study discusses the development of interpretative meaning in the Qur’anic exegesis carried out by Gus Yahya Cholil Staquf, with a specific focus on Surah Al-Mu’minun verse 6. The central focus of this research lies in how Gus Yahya, in addition to his role as a national political figure, actively contributes to Qur’anic interpretation through his teachings delivered to students at the Raudlatut Thalibin Islamic Boarding School in Rembang. These tafsir sessions are broadcast live via the Gus Mus Channel on YouTube, serving as an important medium for disseminating Islamic thought and Qur’anic interpretations to the broader public. This study aims to examine the form of meaning development applied by Gus Yahya Cholil Staquf in interpreting QS. Al-Mu’minun:6 and to analyze the implications of that meaning development for Qur’anic interpretation in the contemporary era. The method used is descriptive-analytical with a library research approach. The primary source of this research is the recorded tafsir sessions of Tafsir Jalalain by Gus Yahya on the Gus Mus Channel, while secondary sources include relevant books, journals, and scholarly references. The findings reveal that there are three main functions in the development of meaning in Gus Yahya’s interpretation of QS. Al-Mu’minun verse 6, first, the historical function, which highlights that the phrase mā malakat aymānuhum previously referred to the practice of owning female slaves; Second, the meaning development function, which reflects efforts to recontextualize the phrase to align with contemporary legal and social values, such as lawful relationships through marriage; and Third, the implicative function, which emphasizes the verse’s social and ethical significance in shaping individual moral awareness and preserving sexual integrity in modern society. The main contribution of this study lies in how Gus Yahya’s contextual interpretation serves as a bridge between classical meanings and universal human values in the modern era. As such, this research offers a significant contribution to grounding the Qur’an as a text that remains relevant and transformative amid the challenges of contemporary times.

Analysis Rules Haqiqah and Majaz in Interpreting the term Qawwamuna (QS. An-Nisa Verse 34)

Nurul Hamidah — 2025-08-06

This study discusses the interpretation of QS. An- Nisā ' verse 34 has often sparked debate, particularly within feminist discourse and discussions of gender bias rooted in pre-Islamic patriarchal structures. Most interpretations of this verse tend to adopt a literal approach (ḥaqīqah), positioning men as leaders over women, based on the assumption that the verse is qa ṭ ' ī al- dalālah—textually definitive and not open to alternative interpretations. This study aims to critically assess that dominant approach by exploring the potential of using majāz (figurative meaning) to offer a more contextual and equitable understanding. The research employs a library-based method with a descriptive-analytical approach, examining relevant primary and secondary sources. The findings reveal that relying solely on a literal reading of the verse without considering its socio-historical context may lead to interpretive bias. Therefore, an integrative approach—balancing both the outward (literal) and inward (figurative) meanings—is essential to ensure that the Qur'anic message remains dynamic and relevant across time.

Between Love and Faith: Interfaith Marriage from the Perspective of Sayyid Qutb

Selfi Lutfa Utami — 2025-08-06

This study discusses the ruling on interfaith marriage according to the Qur’an, particularly in Surah al-Baqarah verse 221. This verse explicitly prohibits marriage between a Muslim and a polytheist due to its potential negative impact on faith. Sayyid Qutb, in his tafsir Fī Ẓilāl al-Qur’ān, emphasizes the importance of preserving religious beliefs and spiritual values within the family, and warns against the dangers of interfaith marriage. Although Islam permits marriage with the People of the Book under certain conditions, it still requires safeguarding one’s faith. This research aims to examine the relationship between love and faith in the context of interfaith marriage based on the interpretation of Q.S. al-Baqarah: 221. The study employs a qualitative method with a thematic (maudhu’i) approach, specifically using the adab al-ijtimā‘i interpretation model. It is a library-based research using descriptive-analytical techniques. The findings reveal that interfaith marriage is prohibited in Islam, as marriage is not merely the union of two individuals, but a means of perfecting the faith of Muslim men and women. This research is expected to serve as a reference for further studies in the field of Qur’anic exegesis.

The Role of Tadabbur Al-Qur'an in Forming the Islamic Worldview

Zubair Qudsi El Hanif Basyir — 2025-08-06

The Islamic Worldview is the antithesis of various issues faced by the Muslim community, particularly those related to thought and civilisation. However, the ideas and concepts of the Islamic Worldview remain largely undercommunicated to the general public, especially through approaches that are practical, easy to understand, and impactful. This study aims to uncover the role of tadabbur Al-Qur'an as one of the easy and accessible approaches for anyone to cultivate the Islamic Worldview. This study employs a qualitative method with a library research approach, as the research subject or data collection is based on literature. The findings reveal that tadabbur possesses ontological, epistemological, and axiological dimensions that help construct a worldview based on tawhid, strengthen value internalization, and guide practical actions. Tadabbur not only enhances understanding of Qur’anic meanings but also initiates a reflective process that affects cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects. Therefore, tadabbur of the Qur’an serves as a strategic method to promote the Islamic Worldview across diverse societal levels.

Tafsir Al-Baidawi Pada Era Afirmasi Islam Klasik: Kajian Atas Anwar Al-Tanzil Wa Asrar Al-Ta'wil

Aghnia Faradits — 2025-08-06

Al-Baiḍāwī's Anwār Al-Tanzīl Wa Asrār Al-Ta’wīl is one of the most phenomenal tafsir books of its time. This tafsir book is interesting to discuss because it is rich in religious schools adhered to by the exegete. One of the reasons for the richness of religious schools in this tafsir is suspected to be because Al-Baiḍāwī lived in a situation of tension between groups within each discipline of Islamic science. In this study, the author uses the content analysis method to interpret and identify the tafsir book mentioned above. In addition, the explanatory method was chosen to find the message of the interpreter so that it can be understood and taken. It was found that first: the interpretation of Anwār Al-Tanzīl Wa Asrār Al-Ta’wīl is the result of mukhtaṣar from the interpretation of al-Kasysyāf by al-Zamakhsyari which is in the Mu’tazilah genre, and the interpretation of Mafātiḥ al-Ghaib by Fakhruddin al-Rāzī which is in the Ahlussunnah wal Jama’ah genre, but he avoided Zamakhsyari’s views which contain elements of Mu’tazilah understanding. Second: When interpreting the verses of tajsim, Al-Baiḍāwī presented them concisely and showed his tendency towards the Shafi’i school of thought which he adhered to. Third: Al-Baiḍāwī in his work, not only interpreted, but also provided interpretations of the verses of the Qur'an using an approach based on Arabic language rules.
