Summary
HAMKA juga menjabat sebagai seorang pegawai tinggi agama yang dilantik oleh Menteri Agama Indonesia sejak tahun 1951 sampai dengan tahun 1960, tetapi dia meletakan jabatannya setelah Soekarno memberikan dua pilihan untuk tetap menjabat sebagai petinggi Negara atau melanjutkan aktifitas politiknya di Masyumi (Majelis Syura Muslim Indonesia). Buya HAMKA menafsirkan ayat di atas dengan: “Berpuluh macam buah-buahan segar yang dapat dimakan oleh manusia, sejak dari delima, anggur, apel, berjenis pisang, berjenis mangga, dan berbagai buah-buahan yang tumbuh di daerah beriklim panas sebagai pepaya, nenas, rambutan, durian, duku, langsat, buah sawo, dan lain-lain, dan berbagai macam rumput-rumputan pula untuk makanan binatang ternak yang dipelihara oleh manusia tadi”.37. Dalam penafsirannya itu terasa sekali nuansa Minangnya yang merupakan salah satu budaya Indonesia, seperti contoh buah-buahan yang dikemukakannya, yaitu mangga, rambutan, durian, duku, dan langsat.
