Penggunaan Syair dalam Penghujahan Pentafsiran al-Quran: Kajian Terhadap Kitab al-Lubab fi Ulum al-Kitab Karangan Ibnu Adel al-Hambali

Abstract

Poetry gained a very important position and was highly regarded by the Arabs in particular, especially linguists, writers and critics in particular. This study will discuss about the importance of poetry and its role in interpretation of Al Quran. Poetry has become one of the tools used as arguments and evidences by most interpreters when interpreting the Quran. The use of poetry as support in understanding the Quranic verses have begun since the time of the Companions RA. They refer to poetry in order to understand some letters and languages of al- Quran that was unclear to them. Interpreters such as Ibn Jarir al-Tabari, Abu Hayyan, Ibn Adel al-Hambali, al-Qurtubi and many others used poetry as arguments and evidences in explaining the meaning of the verse or supporting their opinions in terms of language, jurisprudence and belief. This study will display the methods used by the interpreters in presenting the arguments of the poems through the example from Ibn Adel al-Hambali's book "al-Lubab Fi Ulum al-Kitab". Therefore, it is hoped that this study will provide a clearer understanding of the use of poetry as a tool that plays a very important role in supporting the understanding of the Quran and even the Sunnah.
