This study aims to analyze the characteristics of dhabt in the Qur'anic manuscript owned by Azwardi in Nagari Tuo Pariangan. The method used is a qualitative approach with a library research type, where the primary source is the Qur'anic manuscript owned by Azwardi, and secondary sources include books, journal articles, and other related literature.

2024-12-27T02:31:27+08:00

This article aims to conduct an analysis of Islamic boarding school tafsir treasures by taking a case study of Safinah Kalla Saya’lamun Fi Tafsir Syaikhina Maimun. In general, this work is part of the Indonesian interpretation. However, so far the mapping of the Tafsir Nusantara typology has not touched on the institutional aspect which is an important locus for the emergence of this work. This article questions the background to the writing of Safinah Kalla Saya'lamun? And in the context of what horizon was the work born? These two questions are the basis for expanding the study of the existence of Islamic boarding school interpretive works. This article used qualitative method with the content analysis. This article concludes, that the book Kalla Saya'lamun was originally the result of the Tafsir Jalalain recitation every Sunday read by Maimoen Zubair (d. 2019). The position of the writer who was a student at that time felt the importance of recording the teacher's ideas. However, in fact, the author’s role is not only to explain Zubair's ideas, but also to explore and compare with the views of other commentators. So that it is able to present a literary interpretation of the Al-Qur'an that is not only one way, but presents a rich variety of views using simplistic methods, in addition to presenting ideas that are unique to the locality of the Islamic boarding school. In this case, the interpreter links the meaning of the verse to the current social context or local historical facts. Based on the findings of this work, this research proves that the dynamics of interpretive studies in Islamic boarding schools continue to grow.

Rekonstruksi Tafsir Inklusif: Studi Maqasid al-Qur’an Terhadap Isu Disabilitas

2026-10-21T10:25:32+08:00

This study aims to examine the representation of disability in the Qur’an by employing a thematic exegesis (*tafsīr*) approach grounded in *maqāṣid al-Qur’an* (the objectives of the Qur’an)—specifically, the six-dimensional systemic theory developed by Jasser Auda. This approach is used to interpret verses that relate, either directly or indirectly, to disability, while taking into account socio-cultural contexts and universal values such as justice (*‘adl*), mercy (*rahmah*), and human dignity (*karāmah insāniyyah*). The research is motivated by the continued prevalence of religious interpretations that emphasize patience and resignation—perspectives that often overlook issues of structural justice and social responsibility toward persons with disabilities. Utilizing a qualitative methodology based on a literature review, this study analyzes Qur’anic verses through the six dimensions of *maqāṣid*: objectives, interconnectedness, contextuality, cognition, values, and multidimensionality. The findings indicate that a *maqāṣid*-based approach can shift the paradigm of exegesis from one that is individualistic and charity-oriented toward one that is more inclusive, participatory, and focused on social transformation. Such an interpretation not only affirms the rights of persons with disabilities but also shapes a collective ethical horizon for the Muslim community, fostering the creation of social and religious systems that are accessible and equitable for all. Furthermore, this study contributes to the development of *maqāṣidī* exegesis as a relevant framework for addressing contemporary humanitarian issues.

The Concept of Financial Maintenance in the Tafsir of Al-Sha'rawi

2025-06-01T19:31:56+08:00

The increasing disharmony within households—often caused by husbands' unwillingness to fulfill their obligation of providing financial support—reflects a crisis in understanding the true values of maintenance (nafāqah) in Islam. This phenomenon highlights the urgency of re-examining the concept of maintenance in the Qur'an more comprehensively. This study explores the concept of nafāqah according to Shaykh Muhammad Mutawalli Asy-Sya’rawi through a thematic (maudhu‘i) approach, focusing on relevant Qur'anic verses, particularly QS. An-Nisa’ [4]: 34 and QS. At-Talaq [65]: 6–7. The study employs a qualitative library research method combined with content analysis. The findings reveal that Asy-Sya’rawi views maintenance not merely as a legal obligation of a husband but as a comprehensive responsibility that encompasses social and spiritual aspects—emphasizing justice, leadership, and protection for women. The study concludes that Asy-Sya’rawi’s interpretation presents a flexible and contextual concept of maintenance, offering practical guidance to address the challenges of financial responsibility in modern family life.

The Principle of Fahm al-Siyaq in Ushul al-Tafsir and Its Implementation in the Exegesis of Verses Concerning Jihad

2025-06-04T13:22:31+08:00

The study of the interpretation of the Qur'an requires a thorough understanding of the context of the verses, both from linguistic, thematic, and historical aspects. One of the important rules in ushul al-tafsir that emphasizes the importance of context is fahm al-siyaq, which is the understanding of verses based on their relationship with the previous verses, the aftermath, and the major themes being discussed. This rule is very important to avoid misinterpretations that can occur if a verse is understood partially or literally without considering the overall context. The importance of this approach is very evident in interpreting jihad verses, which are often misused by certain groups for political or ideological purposes. A dismembered and out-of-context understanding has contributed to the emergence of radical interpretations that are incompatible with the universal values of Islam. This research aims to explain the concept of fahm al-siyaq in the tradition of ushul al-tafsir and show its application in interpreting jihad verses. By using qualitative approaches and literature study methods as well as content analysis of relevant journals, this study shows that the application of the principles of fahm al-siyaq results in a more comprehensive, fair, and moderate understanding. This rule makes an important contribution to the development of an inclusive and humanist interpretation of the Qur'an, as well as being relevant to answer the challenges of diversity and socio-religious complexity in the contemporary era.
