Islamic Inclusivism: Insights From Abu Dhabi, Silaturahmi Tunnel, and Walisanga-Ende

This article responds to the claim that Islam is a religion of violence, which has fostered a generation afflicted with Islamophobia. To support their argument, the authors present several historical instances that showcase Islam’s benevolent aspects. These historical instances, elaborated upon in this article, include the Abu Dhabi Brotherhood Declaration (A Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together), the Silaturahmi Tunnel connecting the Istiqlal Mosque and the Catholic Cathedral of Jakarta, and the interreligious cooperation occurring at the Walisanga Islamic Boarding School in Ende, Flores. Quraish Shihab’s Quranic exegesis serves as an analytical tool to examine these three instances. Data were collected through documentation, participant observation, and interviews, then qualitatively analyzed. Through this methodology, the study demonstrates that Islamic ethics and inclusive communal life have manifested an inclusive nature within Islam. By employing this selected method, the study demonstrates how elements of Islamic ethics and the ongoing inclusive communal life ingrained among people illustrate the inclusive nature of Islam.

Analisis Semantik Konsep Rezeki dalam Tafsir Al-Misbah dan Implikasinya dalam Konteks Kognitif dan Etis

This study examines Quraish Shihab’s interpretation of the concept of rizq in Tafsir al-Misbah through the lens of Jean Piaget’s cognitive development theory and Lev Vygotsky’s socio-cognitive theory. The academic problem addressed is how the concept of rizq, involving effort, prayer, and social interaction, can be understood from the perspective of cognitive development and social ethics. The study aims to fill the gap in tafsir analysis by incorporating psychological approaches, particularly in understanding how theological thoughts on rizq influence cognitive development and the formation of individual ethics. The research method used is textual analysis of Tafsir al-Misbah with theoretical approaches from Piaget and Vygotsky, exploring both cognitive and ethical aspects in the process of acquiring rizq. The novelty of this research lies in applying psychological developmental theories to tafsir analysis, a rarely undertaken approach in Quranic exegesis studies. The results indicate that Quraish Shihab's interpretation of rizq encompasses cognitive aspects that encourage logical and abstract thinking about effort and prayer, as well as ethical aspects that emphasize social responsibility and integrity in the pursuit of sustenance. This tafsir promotes the development of a proactive mindset and a strong ethical awareness through social interaction within the community.

From Imminent Threat to Metaphor: Gog and Magog in Modern Sunnī Sources

Abstract Gog and Magog are portrayed in the Quran as two malevolent forces that once wreaked havoc on earth and will reappear near the end of time. Hadiths elaborate their natures and actions and served as the principal source for premodern Muslim treatment of the two. In the modern period, Gog and Magog have, besides remaining objects of Quran exegesis, received considerable attention from apocalyptic writers. This article contributes to current scholarship on the modern Muslim discourse on Gog and Magog by examining the views of some notable Sunnī Quran commentators, which have thus far been almost entirely neglected. I show that they adopt either a literal interpretation, whereby Gog and Magog are understood as certain humans, or a metaphorical interpretation, whereby they are conceived as symbols of various phenomena. I also survey, in contrast to most previous researchers, the ideas of several non-Arab writers, especially the Trinidadian Imran Nazar Hosein (b. 1942), author of several apocalyptic works, including a book on Gog and Magog and their dominance in today’s world. My discussion highlights the remarkable diversity of perspectives among Muslim scholars as well as the tendency to demythologize Gog and Magog by either avoiding hadiths or understanding them in light of contemporary circumstances.

PRIMORDIAL INCEST, THE INTRUSION OF ISRAILIYAAT AND THE QUESTION OF EVOLUTION

The early Muslim attitude towards Israiliyaat was overwhelmingly negative because of the prohibitions on taking knowledge from the Judeo-Christian tradition. But over time a steady import of Israiliyaat literature made its way into Quranic exegesis. The Quran was revealed to correct and rectify the mistakes documented in the Bible (Q 16:64). The Quran was not revealed to be explained in the light of those fabrications. In this paper three important instances are discussed, and it is shown how the inclusion of Israiliyaat distorts the Quranic meaning and undermines the non-contradictory nature of the Quran. One of the cases i.e Adam’s children committing incest is analyzed in detail. While neither the Quran nor Hadith support this view, it is still used as the primary explanation for the progression of the human race. This paper discusses how the dismissal of this bizarre view is necessary as it goes against the Quran. But its dismissal brings in another significant question. If there were just two humans on earth, and incest is out of the question, then how did human lineage move forward? Thus, it becomes a necessity in such a scenario to assume that there were other humans along with Adam and Eve on earth. And this is Muslim Evolutionism as espoused by Iqbal, Abdus Sabbur Shahin, Adnan Ibrahim, Israr Ahmed and others. This view is proved to be more Quranic in spirit and is in line with rationality and demonstrable scientific evidence. This paper demonstrates how biblical fabrications in Tafsir literature obscure Quranic narratives and their elimination will bring about a better understanding of the Quranic view of the origin of life.

The Grammar of Emotion Verbs in the Qurʾān: A Case Study of the verb xāfa

Abstract The concept of emotions has been studied from numerous perspectives in psychology, the history of emotions and religion. This study sheds light on the linguistic devices implemented to articulate emotions in the Qurʾān by taking the emotion verb xāfa ‘to fear’ or ‘to be afraid’ (and its derivatives) as a case study. In both modern and classical dictionaries of the Arabic language as well as in Quranic exegesis, the verb xāfa is often replaced by another verb that expresses fear such as xašiya ‘to be afraid’ or ‘to be in awe’. Here it is shown that the verb xāfa occurs in certain syntactic structures and has specific meanings that are not denoted by other verbs expressing fear in the Qurʾān. Specifically, when the verb xāfa is followed by a subordinate clause that starts with the particle ‘an, it can be rendered as ‘to fear’ or ‘to be afraid’ since the cause of this fear is a probable event. When the verb xāfa is followed by the preposition ‘alā it denotes ‘to fear for [the wellbeing of] someone (e.g., a family member)’ because of a situation in which they are likely to be found. When it is followed by the noun rabb ‘Lord’ or Allāh ‘God’, the verb refers to ‘fear of God’, where fear of His punishment motivates the people to worship Him. When the verbal noun xawf has no object and is used in conjunction with the verbal noun ‘amn (‘security’) it can be interpreted as ‘insecurity about something’. Because the verb xāfa is central to the religious concept of fear of God, it is used in the Qurʾān to express a general and collective attitude of fear or awe. However, xāfa is also used to express individual experiences of fright at specific times or places.

Komponensial dan Sintagmatik untuk Mengidentifikasi Struktur Kalimat Dalam Surah Luqman

Surah Luqman, the 31st chapter of the Quran, is situated in the 21st juz and comprises 34 verses. This Meccan surah is the focus of our research, which employs a semantic approach (ilm adh-dilalah) to analyze syntagmatic components, particularly in verses 12-15. The study utilizes a literature review methodology, concentrating on componential analysis and syntagmatic relationships between lexical elements. Our objective is to gain a profound understanding of sentence structures, explore meaning relationships among syntagmatic components, and analyze semantic field implications. The research findings demonstrate that applying componential and syntagmatic analyses provides enhanced comprehension of sentence structures and their inherent meaning relationships. The examined verses offer deep insights into the moral messages and practical guidance in Surah Luqman, especially concerning gratitude to Allah, avoiding polytheism, kindness to parents, and performing prayers. This study contributes to the linguistic understanding of sentence structures within a religious context and enriches the interpretation of these verses from a linguistic perspective. By bridging linguistic analysis with Quranic exegesis, this research opens new avenues for interdisciplinary studies in Islamic linguistics and hermeneutics, potentially informing both scholarly discourse and practical application of Quranic teachings.

Manuscript Designing and Developing the Form and Condition for Integrating the Quran with Acquired Knowledge

Integrating Quranic verses with acquired knowledge is necessary, along with knowledge and technology development. This helps in understanding the Quranic verses that are relevant to those fields and further exploring the contents of the Quran more broadly. However, the form of integration of the Quran with aqli knowledge and the conditions for such integration based on the expert agreement have not been highlighted. This study aims to design and develop the integration of Quranic verses with acquired knowledge form and its condition based on the discipline of Quranic exegesis. The study used the three-phase Design and Development Research (DDR) approach, and this paper only discussed the second phase, design and development. The form of the integration and its condition was designed based on the literature review and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) by seven (7) experts in the related field of study. Then, the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) was used to develop the form and condition. Twelve (12) experts in Quranic exegesis have participated in FDM. Experts’ consensus has been obtained in developing the forms for integrating Quranic verses with acquired knowledge and its conditions. The forms involve eleven items: Discussion of Concept, Discussion of the Quranic Approach, Explanation of function, Explanation of feature, Explanation of process, Explanation of cause and effect, Rational explanation of aspects of language, Explanation of Islamic legislation’s wisdom, Explanation of historiography and geography of the stories in the Quran, Inspirational Innovation by the Quran, Translational Technology from the Quran. The conditions for integrating consist of nine items and the experts emphasise the conditions concerning ethics more than the conditions relating to interpretation content. This study has significant implications for using new methods, namely design and development research. This study also contributes to the Quranic studies itself using quantitative and qualitative studies that combine various methods in one study.

أثرُ التفسير الجُغْرافيّ للقرآن الكريم في التَّرجِيحِ بَيْن أَقوالِ المفسِّرِين في تَفْسير آياتِ غَزْوَتَي أُحُدٍ والأَحْزَابِ

This study examines the impact of geographical interpretation on the differing opinions among Quranic commentators, specifically in the context of the Battles of Uhud and Al-Ahzab. The Holy Quran, rich in multi-faceted meanings, often leads to varying interpretations among scholars, especially concerning verses with geographical implications. This research focuses on how geographical context influences the understanding and preference for specific interpretations over others in these two significant battles. By analyzing the geographical elements mentioned in the Quranic verses, the study aims to provide a more precise understanding of the locations and events described, thereby resolving discrepancies in interpretations. The research is unique in its approach to incorporating modern geographical tools and digital mapping technologies to enhance the study of Quranic exegesis. Through detailed examination of the relevant verses, the study identifies the role of geographical context in shaping the historical and theological narratives of the Battles of Uhud and Al-Ahzab. The findings suggest that a deeper geographical awareness can significantly contribute to resolving interpretative conflicts and advancing the scholarly understanding of these events. This work not only underscores the importance of geographical considerations in Quranic exegesis but also opens new avenues for research that integrates traditional Islamic scholarship with contemporary geographical analysis. The study concludes with recommendations for further research in the integration of geographical data into the interpretation of other Quranic verses with similar implications.

تفسیر موضوعی : تاصیلیت، ارتقاء اور اہم مناہج کا جائزہ Thematic Exegesis: An Analyses of its Origins, Evolution and Significant Methodologies

Historically, in every era knowledge of Quranic exegesis has remained under the particular tendencies of aesthetic taste of that period. As the tide of time took a turn, a new style and approach to the exegesis of the Quran surfaced. The rapid and limited time of our age drove the noble Mufassirun to simplify and make the exegesis of the Quran comprehensible and facilitating for people. This approach, known as the Subjective (Thematic) Method, involves gathering and grouping Quranic verses according to their themes and then explaining through commentary and elaboration so that a reader can understand numerous verses of the Quran at once. Hence, the style and manners of every Mufassir seem different from others. However, it is broadly evident from the critical analysis of exegetical services rendered by great. Exegetical experts that the style of the majority of them is influenced by Quranic text, its interpretation, explanation and derivation which highlights their scholarship. And this exegetic style reflects from beginning to end in these exegeses. Although this method was partially found in the exegesis of classical Mufassireen and forebears by chance but it was not formally organized and principled. Current construction didn't develop until the 20th century AD or the 14th Hijri. Islamic scholars introduced this approach and developed and established its tenets in the fourteenth Hijri century. Following these rules, a list of subjects is created after a thorough analysis of Quranic verses to determine thematic subjects. The verses that are mentioned in connection with these topics are compiled from various chapters and sections, giving readers a thorough study of the Quran according to their tastes. In conclusion, an attempt is made to comprehend the divine design and purpose of the address.

An Analysis of Faqihudin's Interpretation of the Houri Verses in the Quran

This research examines the interpretations of the verses about heavenly maidens, comparing the perspectives of traditional Islamic scholars with those of feminist interpreters. The objective of this study is to understand the feminist interpreters' perspectives on the verses concerning heavenly maidens in the Quran. This is a qualitative research study that utilizes data from various library sources to provide an analytical description of the verses related to heavenly maidens. Primary sources such as classical Quranic exegesis texts and related works are used as secondary sources. The results of this study reveal several concepts of heavenly maidens in the Quran, with a focus on two specific terms. The first term relates to the phrase “azwaju muthahharoh,” mentioned in the Quran to signify spouses for the righteous in paradise. The second term is related to “Hur al-‘in,” describing the heavenly maidens' physical attributes. These two terms are the primary focus of discussion in this paper because classical Islamic scholars and feminist interpreters offer differing interpretations, leading to varying conclusions regarding the meaning of heavenly maidens. Therefore, through this scholarly paper, we will analyze the feminist interpretation of the Houri verses according to Faqihudin Abdul Kodir.

Revisiting Tafsir Hukmi: Unraveling the Legal Interpretation of the Quran and Its Historical Evolution

This paper aims to delve deeper into legal interpretation (Tafsir Hukmi) by examining the history of the emergence of legal approaches in the interpretation of the Quran, defining the scope of the term, exploring debates among scholars, and providing examples of Quranic exegesis books adopting legal approaches. The research methodology used is a literature-based descriptive analysis with a historical and exegetical perspective. The results of the study show that legal interpretation (Tafsir Hukmi) is one of the Quranic interpretation styles that employ legal theories and approaches. This approach has its roots dating back to the time of Prophet Muhammad and continued to evolve with the emergence of the school of jurisprudence (Imam Madzhab) scholars who had varying interpretations of Islamic jurisprudence. The scope of the term “Tafsir Hukmi” encompasses discussions related to the Islamic legal laws in the Quran. Quranic exegesis books following the legal approach can be found within various schools of thought, including Shia Imamiyah, Shia Zaidiyah, Maliki, Hanafi, Hanbali, Shafi'i, and Zahiri.
