Al-Iṣlāḥ menurut Muḥammad al-Makkī al-Nāṣirī dan penerapannya dalam mendepani fasa endemik

Abstract

On April 1, 2022, Malaysia entered an endemic phase after transitioning from the Covid-19 pandemic. This transition period is intended to allow Malaysians to resume normal life after dealing with the outbreak for the past two years. Therefore, the reforming process is accelerated to ensure the country's welfare which has suffered severely and negatively. The religious point of view, particularly Islam is one of the most important areas in reforming strategies. Many Islamic scholars contributed spiritual ideas to enlighten society and other strategies, such as finance and health. For example, a Moroccan Islamic scholar named Muḥammad al-Makkī al-Nāṣirī worked on a tafsir entitled al-Taysīr fī Aḥādīth al-Tafsīr. Hence, this research was carried out to examine al-Nāṣirī’s thoughts on al-Iṣlāḥ through his tafsir, as well as their applications in dealing with the endemic phase. The study used a qualitative methodology that involved analysing the verses of the Quran that contain words rooted from ṣād - lām - ḥā’ in the tafsir. The findings were then discussed thematically as their applications to the issues confronting the endemic phase. According to the analysis, restoring the endemic phase is not limited to external factors such as environmental reform. It is also necessary to focus on the spiritual collapse and social conflict between communities, which are also part of the causes of world calamity. In this regard, this study is significant for all parties working to improve the world after the Covid-19 pandemic while broadening the dimensions of the improvement strategy in the endemic phase.
