Menafsirkan Kunci Kesuksesan Dari Al-Qur’an

This study aims to examine the meaning of success as found in the Quran and the criteria for success according to the Quran. The research method employed is a qualitative library research approach. The primary data source used is the Quran, with citations of Quranic verses accompanied by translations from the Hadist Web Version 3.0 by Sofyan Efendi. Secondary data is obtained from various exegesis books, such as Tafsir Al-Misbah by M. Quraish Shihab, Jāmi’ al-Bayān ‘an Ta’wīl āy al-Qur’ān by Ibn Jarīr al-Ṭabārī, Jāmi’ al-Bayān li al-Aḥkām al-Qur’ān by Imām al-Qurṭūbi, Tafsir al-Maraghi by Ahmad Muṣaṭfa al-Maragi, Mu’jam Mufradāt li Alfāẓ al-Qur’ān by Al-Ragīb al-Aṣfahānī, Tafsir Al-Qur'anul Madjied An-Nur by T.M. Hasbi Ash-Shiddieqy, as well as hadiths of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The data analysis technique used is descriptive analysis, where data is systematically analyzed to describe the facts or characteristics of a population or a specific field accurately and conceptually. The research findings reveal that in the Quran, there are three terms that refer to success, namely al-Falah, an-Najah, and al-Fauz. The term "al-Falah" reflects the meaning of success in both worldly and hereafter life, "an-Najah" refers to the meaning of success in worldly life only, while "al-Fauz" pertains to the meaning of success in the hereafter. The criteria for success according to the Quran include belief and piety towards Allah SWT, performing the five daily prayers, supplicating to Allah SWT, actively engaging in work, setting aside a portion of one's income to assist those in need, and seeking Allah SWT's mercy to enter Paradise.
 

The Minangkabau Interpretation of The Qur’an: Tradition and Characteristics of The Minangkabau Interpretation of The Qur’an

This article examines the interpretation of the Quran in Minangkabau from the perspectives of the method of interpretation, interpretation techniques, and interpretation schools of thought. Exegesis of the Quran is one of the sciences that Urang Siak (students) must study in the surau. With a passion for the Quran, literature relating to the Quran was discovered, which is the product of scholars from Minangkabau. The literature extends from Mahmud Yunus' Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim to Hamka's Tafsir al-Azhar. This research is a library research using primary sources such as exegesis books by Minangkabau scholars, including Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim by Mahmud Yunus, Tafsir al-Azhar by Hamka, Risālat al-Qawl al-Bayān by Sulaiman al-Rasuli, Kitāb Tafsīr al-Burhān by Abdul Karim Amrullah, and Tafsir al-Azhar by Hamka. The secondary sources include exegesis books and other relevant books. The research is phenomenological and employs a scientific approach to interpretation and a historical approach. The findings indicate that textual interpretation predominates over contextual interpretation. Textual interpretation can be separated into conventional textual interpretation and contemporary textual interpretation. The traditional textual perspective interprets the Quran literally, whereas the contemporary textual perspective employs rational thought as well. The tradition of Minangkabau scholars interpreting the Quran began in the early 19th century, and the Minangkabau interpretation of the Quran cannot be isolated from the influence of Egyptian scholars' interpretations, particularly Tafsr Jallain.

Kisah Ashabul Kahfi: Studi Perbandingan Tafsir Al-Misbah dan Tafsir Ibnu Katsir

The story is one of the five main contents of the Qur'an, and the stories in the Qur'an are unique and extraordinary. This research will delve into one of the Qur'anic stories, namely the story of Ashabul Kahfi in Surah Al-Kahfi verses 9-26, and compare it with two exegesis books: "Al-Misbah" by M. Quraish Shihab and the exegesis of Ibn Kathir on Ibn Kathir. Literary analysis will examine the story of Ashabul Kahfi according to M. Quraish Shihab and Ibn Kathir. Comparing the two exegesis texts of the Ashabul Kahfi story will reveal similarities and differences. Furthermore, the conclusions drawn from both interpretations can be applied to modern Indonesian culture. Like previous stories, this narrative provides a positive example for young people, as Ashabul Kahfi were motivated youths who left their community for their beliefs. They sought forgiveness and salvation from Allah, who led them to a cave, caused them to sleep for 309 years, and woke them without aging.

Quranic contemplation is one most exalted worship in Islam because its function in guiding servant to the guidance of Allah SWT. It is the purpose of the revelation of the Quran and the legislation of recitation. Failing to contemplate the Quran is the reason why the hypocrites and polytheists in the time of the Prophet Muhammad SAW were prevented from receiving guidance. Although contemplation is crucial in Islam, the development of Quranic contemplation skills does not receive proper attention in the Islamic education curriculum. In fact, the implementation of contemplation in tahfiz institutions in Malaysia is only at a moderate level. Therefore, this study aims to propose a practical model of Quranic contemplation based on the Quran itself, to explain the process of how the implementation can achieve the objectives of tazkiyah and tahalliyah in worship and generating recognizant of Allah.

Research data were collected from more than 30 exegesis books involving scholar’s interpretations of verse 205 of Surah Al-A'raf and verse 37 of Surah Qaf, and analyzed using thematic analysis methods. The findings of the study show that the process of contemplation involves sensory, mental, and spiritual activities, namely, bringing the heart closer to Allah, listening effectively, thinking, reflecting, drawing lessons, and being devout. A further study is recommended for the purpose of implementing this model in the Islamic education system, especially in the tahfiz curriculum in Malaysia.

Understanding of Moderation Verses in Books Published in 2014 and 2017 Perspective of Jurgen Habermas' Ideology Criticism

Pendidikan Agama Islam dan Budi Pekerti (PAIBP), published by Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan in 2014 and 2017 book was the main source for high schools in Indonesia. But, a previous study found that this book contained some radicalism value meanwhile, the government tried so hard to eradicate it through a moderation campaign. However, this book still contains some themes of moderation in the discussions such as unity (ukhuwah), tolerance and democracy which would be the focused of this study. This research then aims to review some article of the Qur`an that contains moderation value to gain explanation, discussion and easy implementation. The framework of this study was ideology critics by Jurgen Habermas which consisted of two steps of research to find technical understanding and reflected understanding. The technical understanding was found by several field investigations using observation in all 9 public senior high schools in Rembang regency and interviews with the PAI teacher and also the students from all levels with snowballing sampling. This study found that technical understanding of this book stopped at normative-definitive comprehensions while the implementations could not be done because this book's explanations were too short. It was also influenced by the understanding of the teachers and the teaching style of the teachers that was very subjective. The only implantation founded was reading the qur’an verses by ilm tajwid. The reflective understanding was found by a series explorations of Qur’anic exegesis books and several Islamic classical literature. The results of this study shows that this book could be upgraded by (1) extended the meaning of ukhuwah (2) limitations of the practice of tolerance and (3) additions discourse of democracy in the field of sharia and contextualization of democracy in the context of Indonesia.

Impact of Semantic Loss in the Holy Quran with Reference to Yusuf Ali's and Pickthall's Translations of Al-Nur Surah

This study aimed to identify the impact of semantic loss in Ali's and Pickthall's translations by analyzing 15 cultural specific terms (CSTs) from Al-Nur Surah in the Holy Quran. It also investigated the causes behind this loss. The study also attempted to investigate to what extent Ali and Pickthall had succeeded in achieving cultural equivalence in translating the 15 CSTs. For the purpose of the study, the comparative textual analysis method was used as the main data instrument to answer the research questions. Results showed that there are some causes for semantic loss in Ali's and Pickthall's translations. For example, semantic loss in Ali’s translation accounts for 40%, while Pickthall’s semantic loss accounts for 53.33%. In addition, results of the study showed some causes for semantic loss in Ali’s and Pickthall’s translations including culturally bound terms, and lack of knowledge of Arabic metaphorical expressions. The researchers recommended that translators of the Holy Quran should be knowledgeable of the Quranic terms since the Holy Quran is a genre which has specific beliefs, manners and cultural aspects. In addition, translators should depend on exegesis books to know the reasons of revelation.

Translating Proverb-Like Rhetorical Quranic Structures into English

Translating Proverb -like structures in the Glorious Quran is considered a difficult task because translators need to reproduce the words of Allah as accurately and faithfully as possible. The current study aims at analyzing the proverb - like structures in the Glorious Quran and their translations rhetorically. It is hypothesized that the proverb - like structures cannot be realized semantically without referring to the linguistic context and the reasons of revelation in the Quran exegesis books to realize the rhetorical and linguistic features. The study conludes that translators can convey the meaning appropriately, but they cannot produce the power of the rhetorical structures of the Glorious Quran since its language is a miracle. The study can be useful to specialists in Quran translation and non-Arab Quran learners.

The Literary Miracle of the Holy Quran

The literary miracle of the Quran is one of its most important features whichhas been the preoccupation of many literary figures and eloquent scholars since long time ago up to the present to be able to portray a feature of the Quran and express some of its hidden secrets and beauties. The proper selection of the words by God is such that each of the words is on its suitable place whose replacement and change is impossible. Furthermore, it is never possible to consider a word of the Quran similar with another word exactly the same and synonym or consider a letter of the Quran letters as something extra. Now, the question is “what does the topic of the so called, “paragoge” in the literary and accentuation topics of the Quran in particular in the domain of Me’anialphabetical letters mean? Is it possible to consider the presence or the lack of presence of some letters in the Quran as something the same? Does believing in such a belief in opposition with the literary miracle of the Quran? The significance of this topic becomes clearer when such letters have been employed by a WiseInformer, the one who does each action with a specific goal and end. On the other hand, the presence of paragoge letters in a book with the highest rank of eloquence and the lasting miracle of the holy prophet (p.b.u.h.) is something far from mind. The present research has been conducted to respond to this question. The research methodology is descriptive-analytic one. The result is that the application of the paragoge in the dictionaries, grammar, eloquence and exegesis books in most cases has a close link with the meaning such as negation, punishment, emphasize and so on. This indicates that the letters which have been mentioned as paragoge convey meanings.

نبوخذ نصر وعلاقته باليهود دراسة مقارنة بين الأديان السماوية الثلاث (الإسلام واليهودية والنصرانية)

الحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله وأما بعد: فإن سبب اختيارنا لهذا الموضوع من الناحية الإسلامية هو بسبب ارتباط هذا الاسم بميعاد بني اسرائيل في سورة الإسراء في وعد الأولى والآخرة كما ذهب إلى ذلك عامة المفسرين، ومن الناحية التاريخية فبسبب أنه اسم تردد على الاسماع كثيراً خاصة في وطننا الحبيب باعتبار أنه عراقي من أصل عربي من أولاد سام ابن نوح اتخذ بابل عاصمة له والتي هي جزء من بلدنا الغالي. وهذا ما أثبتناه من مصادر عديدة قديمة وحديثة بعد مناقشة تظهر بعضها أن نسب نبوخذ نصر يرجع إلى حام ابن نوح، وأن حام هو ابو الفرس. أما أهم النتائج التي توصلنا إليها: 1. أن نبوخذ نصر هو من أصل عربي وليس فارسي. 2. أن نبوخذ نصر كان قد أسلم بسبب تأثره بأنبياء بني إسرائيل. 3. إن نبوخذ نصر لم يكن يعامل بني إسرائيل في عمليات السبي بشكل سيء بل وفر لهم أماكن يستطيعوا فيها أن ينالوا العيش الكريم رغم غدرهم المتواصل ولكن أراد أن يكونوا تحت المراقبة المستمرة. وأهمية هذ الموضوع تكمن في إجراء مقارنة في ذكر هذا الملك في الديانات السماوية الثلاث لنعلم ما هو أصل نبوخذ نصر وكيف حكم وما سبب السبي وما تأثير نبوخذ نصر على اليهود وما تأثير اليهود عليه وما كانت ديانته وهل غيَّرَها بعد ذلك لتأثره بأنبياء بني إسرائيل، وهل هو صاحب الوعدين في القرآن الكريم (وعد الأولى والآخرة) بطريقة علمية حيادية. وقد تم استعمال المنهج المقارن في هذه الدراسة بين الديانات السماوية الثلاثة وكذلك المنهج التاريخي الذي اعتمد على الأخذ مما أشارت إليه الكتب السماوية الثلاث تلميحاً أو تصريحاً وهي القرآن والتوراة والانجيل وكذلك كتب الحديث وكتب المفسرين والكتب التاريخية وبعض الكتب الحديثة التي تناولت هذا الموضوع.

The Influence of Classical Islamic Modernism on the Qur’an Comments: The Example of Elmalılı Muhammed Hamdi Yazır

Klasik İslâm Modernizmi, Müslümanların ıslahını, silkinmesini ve medeniyet yarışında tekrar sahne almasını sağlamak amacıyla, dini/Kur’ân’ı ve buna bağlı müktesebâtı yeniden yorumlama çabalarına tekabül eden bir akımdır. Modern çağda Cemaleddin Afgânî ve Muhammed Abduh tarafından başlatılan bu hareket ile Osmanlı İslâmcılığı arasında zamanlama, metot ve çözüm önerileri bakımından bir takım benzerlik ve paralellikler bulunmaktadır. Söz konusu etkileşim Cumhuriyet Türkiye’sinde de sürmüş, Kur’ân, bu dönemde hidâyet ve sosyolojik fayda ekseninde tefsire konu olmuştur.Elmalılı Hamdi Yazır, Meşrutiyet öncesi, Meşrutiyet ve Cumhuriyet dönemlerinde Klasik İslâm Modernizmi’nin Kur’ân yorumlarından etkilenen âlim ve mütefekkirlerden biridir. O, müellifi olduğu “Hak Dini Kur’ân Dili” adlı tefsir kitabını, Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Devleti’nin talebi üzerine hazırlamıştır. Bu durum, Elmalılı’nın çalışmamıza konu olmasında etkili olmuştur. Bununla birlikte o, Meşrutiyet öncesi ve sonrasıyla Osmanlı’nın son dönemine ve Cumhuriyet dönemine de şahit olmuştur. Diğer taraftan, Cumhuriyet Türkiyesi’nde birçok müfessir ve Kur’ân araştırmacısının Klasik İslâm Modernizmi’nden etkilemiş olduğunu söylemek mümkündür. Bu haliyle konu bir makale boyutunu aşacağından dolayı, çalışmamızda tefsir konusunda Cumhuriyet döneminin sembol ismi olan Elmalılı Hamdi Yazır ile yetinmeyi uygun gördük. Klasik İslâm Modernizmi’nin en olumlu yönü, Müslümanların problemleriyle Kur’ân ayetleri arasında bağlantı kurmaları ve âyetlerin manalarını güncelleyerek toplumsal sorunlara Kur’ân eksenli çözüm arayışına girmeleridir. İşin diğer olumlu yönü, söz konusu âyetlerin, bu konularla sınırlandırılıp dondurulmamış olmasıdır.

KESAKSIAN DUA PEREMPUAN DALAM AL-QURAN: STUDI KOMPARATIF KITAB TAFSIR

Among the interpretation problems of the Al-Qur’an which has broadly attracted the attention of the interpreters of the Al-Qur'an are related to the meaning of justice for the testimony of two women and one male in the Koran. Many exegesis books written (from the classical to the modern period) gave their own understanding and views which strengthened the superiority of men over women because of their weak memories, easy to forget and so on. Some of our other interpretations are of the view that this problem is something that is taken for granted without being able to be questioned, and what is more demanding is submission because it is considered as a part of the issue of worship (ta’abbudiy). This article examines various understandings of the commentaries (classical and modern) which discuss the understanding of the testimony of two women as found in the Qur'an. These problems are increasingly important, especially regarding the interpretation of the Al-Qur’an's view on the issue of gender equality which is increasingly discussed in the current contemporary times.

Textual research of chu, huo, huo, and hua

Origin of Chinese Characters (Shuowen Jiezi) records a large number of drug names, providing rich materials for the study of the history of pharmacy. But in the aftertime circulating process, errors were inevitable, making the ancient scholars disagree on the relationship between some drug names and their referents. This paper would give a textual research on medication names about chu, huo, huo, and hua. Relevant content was analyzed by using Shuowen Jiezi, Er Ya,Yu Pian and previous annotations of these exegesis books, as well as herbal literature. The relationship between the names and referents, as well as their lexical meanings were clarified by comparing textual content in specialized book about Chinese exegetics and previous herbal literature. Their medicinal efficacy was explained, and the value of herbalism in these exegesis books was explored.

Konsep al-Ashîl dan al-Dakhîl dalam Tafsir Alquran

The Concept of al-Ashîl and al-Dakhîl in the Quranic Exegesis. This study examined the concept of al-ashîl and al-dakhîl in the Quranic exegesis. These two issues were important to discuss because in the books of exegesis there were many data and information that were irrelevant to the content of verses and sublime messages of the Quran. Even authoritative exegesis books were also not sterile from the infiltration of interpretation, either in the form of historical data, ra’y (the result of ijtihad) or inner cues. Based on this, this study aimed to explain the concept of ashâlat al-mashdar (source authenticity) so that al-dakhîl fî al-tafsîr (infiltration of interpretation) could be known, criticized and evaluated. Criticism of the infiltration of quranic interpretation was necessary so that the exegesis books—as a work in direct contact with the main source of Islam—were completely cleansed from the reality of al-dakhîl.
