Educational Pattern of Gifted Children from the Perspective of the Qur’an (Study of QS. Ali ‘Imrān Verse 159 and QS. Al Isrā Verse 84)

Many people still do not understand that gifted children are children who have good strengths and have a positive impact on the people around them. For this reason, this study aims to reveal the pattern of gifted children's education from the Quran perspective in QS. Ali Imran verse 159 and QS Al Isra' verse 84. This study is library research with data collection from primary and secondary sources. The study results showed that in the interpretation of Al Misbah by M. Quraish Shihab and Tafsir Al Azhar by Buya Hamka, every human being has a tendency, potential, and innate that encourage his activities to work and develop talents, including intelligent children with unique talents (gifted). According to the two interpretations, the way parents nurture gifted children must take four steps: being gentle with children, forgiving if children make mistakes, inviting deliberation if children want something, and having faith in God through prayer and other worship.

Social Education in The Perspective of the Quran and Hadith

This study examines social education contained in the Al-Qur'an, especially surah Ali Imran verse 64 and in the hadith. The research method used in this research uses the library research method, namely an effort to obtain data in the literature. The approach used in this research is also qualitative research, namely a research procedure that produces descriptive data in the form of written or spoken words of a character. .Because this research discusses interpretation in one theme, this research also uses the maudhu'i (thematic) method.

And the Muslims are a testimony that they are people who surrender.

The Concept Of Property Management In The Qur'an And Its Implications In Social Life (Thematic Study According To Al-Azhar Tafsir)

Social inequalities, such as poverty, limited education access, and wealth disparity, often stem from unjust wealth management. Islam, through the Qur'an, offers comprehensive guidelines on acquiring, consuming, purifying, distributing, and protecting wealth to benefit society. While Islamic finance has been widely studied, research linking wealth management to social implications remains limited. This study analyzes wealth management concepts in the Qur'an based on Tafsir Al-Azhar by Hamka and examines their impact on social welfare. Using a qualitative, literature-based approach with thematic tafsir, the study explores relevant Qur'anic verses in a modern socio-economic context. Findings reveal five key aspects of wealth management: halal acquisition emphasizing justice and spiritual balance, moderate consumption avoiding excess and miserliness, purification through zakat to reduce inequality, distribution via charity and waqf to foster social solidarity, and wealth protection through financial planning and inheritance for future security. The study confirms that applying Islamic wealth management principles can help reduce social inequality, improve welfare, and promote economic justice. It contributes to Islamic economic theory while offering practice al guidance fo individuals and policymakers to manage wealth fairly and sustainably.

Qana’ah Dalam Al-Qur’an (Studi Komparatif Tafsir Al Azhar Dan Tafsir Al Mishbah)

This study aims to examine the concept of qana’ah in the Qur’an through a comparative study between Tafsir Mishbah by Quraish Shihab and Tafsir Al Azhar by Buya Hamka. The main issue raised in this study is the understanding of qana’ah, which is the attitude of feeling sufficient with what Allah has given. The theory used to analyze this concept is the view of two great Indonesian scholars, namely Buya Hamka and Quraish Shihab. The results of the study show that these two interpretations have similarities in their explanation, namely qana'ah means having the nature of sufficient with what has been given by Allah, without feeling less or excessive. This study makes an important contribution in understanding how qana’ah is perceived and applied in everyday life in accordance with the guidance of the Qur’an, as explained by the two scholars.

Get to know the Tafsir of the Nusantara in the 20th Century: Tafsir Al-Azhar by Buya Hamka

Buya Hamka's Tafsir Al-Azhar is one of the important intellectual legacies in the study of Indonesian tafsir in the 20th century. This interpretation was compiled by the Indonesian cleric and scholar, Buya Hamka, who is not only known as a mufassir, but also a writer, thinker and public figure. Tafsir Al-Azhar offers a classical Islamic scientific approach, modern thought, and the socio-cultural context of Indonesian society. Hamka uses a simple language style, logical arguments, and emphasizes universal Islamic values, such as justice, humanity, and moderation. This interpretation also reflects the spirit of Islamic reform, an effort to respond to the challenges of the times, and voices the relevance of the Al-Qur'an in everyday life. In the study of Indonesian tafsir, Tafsir Al-Azhar is an important reference that represents thematic and contextual styles of interpretation, making it relevant for modern readers today.

Buya Hamka's Views on Gathering in Al-Azhar Tafsir and Its Relevance to the Alek Bakajang Tradition

Silaturrahmi is a command from Allah as stated in the Qur’an. Buya Hamka, in his Tafsir Al-Azhar, explains that silaturrahmi means fostering bonds of compassion among all human beings, as humanity fundamentally originates from a single soul. This concept of silaturrahmi is also implemented by Indonesian society through various traditions, such as the Alek Bakajang tradition. Alek Bakajang is a longstanding tradition passed down through generations to strengthen relationships among all elements of society in Nagari Gunuang Malintang, Pangkalan Koto Baru Subdistrict, Lima Puluh Kota Regency, West Sumatra. In modern times, this tradition is often associated with "open house" gatherings and “halal bi halal”, commonly held after the celebration of Eid al-Fitr. This study aims to analyze Hamka's perspective on silaturrahmi and its relevance to the Alek Bakajang tradition. It combines library research with field research and employs a qualitative approach. Data were collected from Hamka’s Tafsir Al-Azhar as well as through observation and interviews with informants in the study area. The findings reveal that Hamka’s view on silaturrahmi aligns closely with the values embedded in the Alek Bakajang tradition. In the context of silaturrahmi, the Alek Bakajang tradition carries profound meanings, including understanding and preserving family lineage, always remembering Allah and supporting relatives, forgiving one another within the community, and promoting good counsel and mutual advice.

Environmental Deterioration In Tafsir Maqasidi: A Comparative Study Of Tafsir Al-Munir And Al-Azhar

Environmental degradation represents a significant challenge that affects the ecological, social, and spiritual aspects of humanity. This study focuses on how maqasidi tafsir can be employed to understand and address environmental issues, by analysing Tafsir Al-Munir by Wahbah al-Zuhaili and Tafsir Al-Azhar by Buya Hamka. Both tafsirs emphasise human responsibility towards nature as a trust from Allah, albeit with different approaches. Tafsir Al-Munir places greater emphasis on the application of Islamic law in environmental management, whereas Tafsir Al-Azhar highlights ethical, spiritual aspects and the harmony of nature. The main finding of this study demonstrates that maqasidi tafsir offers a comprehensive perspective by integrating legal, moral, and spiritual dimensions in environmental preservation. This comparative tafsir study contributes to contemporary environmental ethics by illustrating how the principles of Islamic law can provide solutions to modern ecological challenges, linking legal frameworks with moral values to maintain environmental balance and sustainability.

Moderasi Beragama dalam Tafsir al-Azhar Sebagai Pilar Karakter Anak Usia Dini

Religious moderation education needs to be taught to children from an early age in order to form good character and prevent the development of ideologies that can damage social stability. This study examines the role of religious moderation in early childhood character building through the perspective of Tafsir Al-Azhar by Buya Hamka. The method used is the literature study method with a descriptive-analytic approach. The data sources in this study consist of primary sources, namely Tafsir Al-Azhar by Buya Hamka and secondary sources derived from previous studies on moderation and early childhood education. The results show that the application of religious moderation in early childhood education can form characters that are inclusive, tolerant, fair, and balanced in religious and social life. This moderation education not only helps children to be fair and wise, but also serves as a filtering medium against the impact of extremist ideologies that threaten community harmony.

The Dilemma of Deforestation in Indonesia: The Perspective of Buya Hamka and Quraish Shihab (Comparative Study of Al Misbah Interpretation & Al Azhar Interpretation)

This research is motivated by the increasingly complex environmental problems in Indonesia, such as deforestation, water and air pollution, ecosystem damage, and the significant impacts of climate change. The environmental crisis is not only caused by inappropriate policies, but also by the low public awareness of the importance of preserving nature. In this context, Islamic thought derived from the Qur'an is relevant to provide moral and practical solutions. This study examines the wisdom of two great Indonesian scholars, Buya Hamka and Quraish Shihab, through their tafsir works, Tafsir Al-Azhar and Tafsir Al-Misbah, which contain views on the relationship between humans and nature. This comparative study aims to identify the relevance of the interpretations of the two figures in answering contemporary environmental problems in Indonesia. Although there are differences in methodology in interpretation, both Buya Hamka and Quraish Shihab emphasize the importance of environmental ethics and human responsibility as caliphs on earth. In conclusion, their interpretations not only have theological value, but also provide relevant practical guidelines for addressing environmental challenges in Indonesia.

Human Trafficking In The Islamic View (Comparative Study Of Al-Azhar And Al Misbah Interpretation)

This study aims to examine and compare Islamic views on human trafficking based on two prominent tafsir works, namely Tafsir Al-Azhar by Buya Hamka and Tafsir Al-Misbah by M. Quraish Shihab. Human trafficking, as a form of modern slavery, is a global problem that is very contrary to human values. From an Islamic perspective, protection of human dignity and rights is strongly emphasized, including the prohibition of all forms of human exploitation. Tafsir Al-Azhar, with a contextual and sociological approach, emphasizes the importance of maintaining human honor and freedom and condemns slavery in the socio-cultural context of Indonesia. On the other hand, Tafsir Al-Misbah, with a linguistic and historical approach, highlights human trafficking as a violation of the principles of justice and humanity in Islamic teachings. This study found that although the two tafsirs have different approaches, both are in line in the view that human trafficking is an act that is prohibited in Islam and contrary to the universal values taught by the Qur'an.

Unveiling Patience: The Intersection of the Qur'an and Hadith in Buya Hamka’s Thought

This article examines the concept of patience in the thought of Buya Hamka, focusing on the integration between the Qur’an and hadith in Tafsir Al-Azhar. As a central theme in Islam, patience is not only understood as a passive reaction to adversity but as an active attitude reflecting spiritual strength and depth of faith. This article identifies how Buya Hamka interprets patience through the bi al-ma’thūr method, using hadith as an explanatory tool to deepen the meaning of patience-related verses. With a qualitative analysis that emphasizes textual study, this article presents evidence that Buya Hamka relates patience to social and individual contexts and creates practical guidance for Muslims in facing the challenges of daily life. Through this approach, the author shows how patience can serve as a tool to achieve emotional balance and mental resilience. The contribution of this study lies in the emphasis on the relevance of Hamka’s tafsir in the modern context, as well as the functionalization of hadith in expressing the profound values of patience. By filling an existing academic gap, this research offers new insights into the relationship between historical Islamic texts and contemporary spiritual practices, making Tafsir Al-Azhar an essential resource in guiding Muslims to understand and apply patience in their lives.

Analisis Metode Pendidikan Islam dalam Al-Qur'an: Kajian QS. Hud Ayat 61-68

The aim of this research is to explore the Islamic educational methods contained in Surah Hud, verses 61-68. Current phenomena indicate that there are still many errors in teaching methods, both within and outside of school environments. One notable issue is that teachers often hesitate to administer punishment to students due to concerns about being perceived as engaging in violence. Therefore, this study seeks to revisit appropriate educational methods based on the guidance of the Qur'an. This research is a qualitative library research using content analysis as the analysis method. Focus of this research is on Surah Hud, verses 61-68, which is analyzed based on the interpretations of Tafsir Al-Azhar by Buya Hamka, Tafsir An-Nur by Teungku Hasbi Ash-Shidiqi, and Tafsir Al-Misbah by Quraish Shihab. The findings reveal that there are five Islamic educational methods in Surah Hud, verses 61-68, namely: a) the lecture method, b) the question and answer method, c) the demonstration method, d) the assignment method, and e) the Targhib (reward) and Tarhib (punishment) method. These methods can serve as a model that can be applied in contemporary education. Their relevance remains strong today, although their application may require adjustments and modifications in line with modern developments.

The Concept of Tawhid in the Perspective of Nusantara Mufassirs: A Comparative Study of Tafsir Al-Misbah and Tafsir Al-Azhar

Tawhid, as a fundamental concept in Islam, serves as the primary foundation for all religious teachings, particularly in the aspects of worship and social life. Tawhid not only teaches the oneness of Allah SWT but also acts as the basis that guides the behavior of Muslims in all aspects of their lives. Given the importance of this concept, various mufassirs or Qur'anic scholars from different cultural and intellectual backgrounds have sought to interpret it according to the context of their times and societies. This study focuses on two prominent mufassirs from the Nusantara, Quraish Shihab and Buya Hamka, whose works, Tafsir Al-Misbah and Tafsir Al-Azhar, have become key references in Islamic studies in Indonesia. The aim of this research is to compare and analyze how these two mufassirs understand and interpret the concept of Tawhid in the Qur'an. The method used is library research with a comparative approach, allowing the identification of similarities and differences in the interpretation of Tawhid by the two mufassirs. Tafsir Al-Misbah by Quraish Shihab is known for its contextual and modern approach, often linking the interpretation of Qur'anic verses to contemporary social realities. Conversely, Tafsir Al-Azhar by Buya Hamka tends to use a more traditional approach, emphasizing the relevance of Qur'anic teachings in the daily lives of Muslims. The findings reveal that, despite differences in interpretative methods, both mufassirs share similar views on the essence of Tawhid. Quraish Shihab emphasizes the importance of contextual understanding tailored to the challenges of the times, while Buya Hamka focuses more on the spiritual and moral aspects of Tawhid. This difference lies in their methods, with Shihab inclined toward a more flexible hermeneutic approach, whereas Hamka is more literal and normative. Nonetheless, both agree that Tawhid should be reflected in all aspects of a Muslim's life and serve as the foundation for all moral actions and worship. This research provides important insights into the interpretation of Tawhid by Nusantara mufassirs and its relevance in the lives of Muslims in Indonesia today.

Penafsiran Ayat-Ayat tentang Perampasan Aset Koruptor dalam Perspektif Al-Misbah, Al-Azhar, Ibnu Katsir, dan Al-Munir

This study discusses the interpretation of verses of the Qur'an related to the illegal taking of other people's property, especially in the context of the confiscation of corruptor assets, based on the views of Muhammad Quraish Shihab (Tafsir Al-Misbah), Hamka (Tafsir Al-Azhar), Ibn Kathir (Tafsir al-Qur'an al-'Azhim), and Wahbah Zuhaili (Tafsir al-Munir). This study uses a qualitative method with a library research approach to conceptually examine various things that are correlated with corruption from the perspective of the Qur'an. Therefore, this study is a type of qualitative and thematic research through literature review, namely by writing, reducing, and presenting data and analyzing it, as well as the theory of maqashid sharia and jinayah. The results of the study show that the commentators support the confiscation of corruptors' assets as a legitimate action in Islam, by the principles of maqashid al-syariah, especially the protection of property (hifz al-mal). Quraish Shihab emphasizes the importance of asset confiscation to restore justice and protect society. Hamka sees this action as a just punishment that also restores the rights of society. Ibn Kathir emphasizes that corruption must be punished strictly to prevent greater damage. Wahbah Zuhaili emphasizes the authority of the government in upholding justice and preventing injustice, including through the confiscation of illegal assets. This interpretation provides a strong theological basis for the policy of asset confiscation as part of the enforcement of Islamic law, emphasizing that such action is necessary to maintain balance and stability in society.

Environmental Conservation in Quraish Shihab and Hamka’s Perspective

The environmental crisis has become a global issue and a common concern of this century. The anthropocentric paradigm is also one of the causes of environmental damage. This paradigm assumes that the center of the universe is human beings, so they are free to exploit natural resources for their interests. This paper will reveal Qur'an-based environmental conservation. The author more specifically reveals the views of the mufasir of Indonesia, M. Quraish Shihab and Buya Hamka, on the issue of environmental conservation. This paper aims to find the concept of environmental conservation based on the Qur'an by two Indonesian muftis. The research method used in this article is qualitative and is library research. The main data used in this article include Tafsir Al-Misbah by M. Quraish Shihab and Tafsir Al-Azhar by Hamka. The data were analyzed with a content analysis approach. The conclusion of this article shows that Indonesia's mufasir is concerned about environmental conservation based on the Qur'an. M. Quraish Shihab and Buya Hamka have a common interpretation that the universe was created by Allah for humans and used to meet their needs proportionally. The concept of the caliph and its implementation (utilizing, maintaining, preserving, and regenerating nature for the next life) is urgently needed to protect the earth and its environment. Environmental preservation is contained in the concept of iḥsān with the peak of good behavior towards nature. The concept of justice by acting in balance is a responsibility to the environment. The concept of proportionality (not excessive) in the use of the environment.

The Reception of Hamka's Tafsir Al-Azhar within Social Religious Issues in the Malay World

This study explores the reception and impact of Hamka's Tafsir Al-Azhar across the Malay world, particularly in Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam, and Singapore. Tafsir Al-Azhar, written by the renowned Malay scholar Hamka, is a significant work of Qur'anic exegesis that has influenced Islamic thought in Southeast Asia. By employing a qualitative research method, specifically a case study with phenomenological analysis, this research investigates how Tafsir Al-Azhar has been received, interpreted, and utilized by various Muslim communities in these regions. The study examines the historical context in which Hamka's work was produced, focusing on its dissemination and its pivotal role in addressing socio-religious issues from the mid-20th century to the present day. By applying reception theory, the analysis highlights the dynamic interaction between the text and its readers, revealing how interpretations of Tafsir Al-Azhar have evolved in response to shifting social, political, and cultural landscapes. The research also explores the influence of external religious streams, modernity, and globalization on the Malay Muslim identity, and how these factors have shaped the adaptation and reception of traditional tafsir practices. The findings suggest that while Tafsir Al-Azhar has become a central reference in the religious life of Malay Muslims, its reception varies significantly across different countries. These variations are influenced by local cultural, religious, and political contexts, as well as by Hamka's personal interactions with these communities. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of Qur'anic interpretation in Southeast Asia, emphasizing the importance of contextualizing tafsir to address the diverse needs and challenges of Muslim communities in the region.

The Meaning of <i>Makar</i> in the Qur’an: A Comparative Study of Hamka’s Interpretation in <i>Tafsir al-Azhar</i> and Sayyid Qutb in <i>Tafsir fi Zhilal al-Qur'an</i>

Crime and violence are frequently and easily encountered in the news and everyday life. The Qur'an itself strictly regulates the punishment for people who commit crimes, but it is still difficult to prevent crime as a whole. This study aims to find out clearly the nature of treason and how to overcome it according to Tafsir al-Azhar and Tafsir fi Zhilal al-Qur'an. The formulation of this research problem is how the interpretation of treason verses, forms of treason, and how to overcome it in the perspective of Tafsir al-Azhar and Tafsir fi Zhilal al-Qur'an? This research uses qualitative methods, library research and data analysis techniques in the form of descriptive-analytical with muqarrin (comparative) interpretation approach. Thus, this study concludes that the interpretation of the treason verses has some similarities and differences according to Tafsir al-Azhar and Tafsir fi Zhilal al-Qur'an. Both agree that treason is a form of typology. Both agree that treason is a form of deceit or strategy carried out by humans and contrary to the teachings or will of Allah. While the difference, Tafsir al-Azhar focuses on the treason committed after the disaster befalls, without mentioning the specific form of the deception. While Tafsir fi Zhilal al-Qur'an views treason as an attempt to oppose and obstruct the spread of Islamic teachings, by mentioning specific forms such as propaganda and lies.

The Dynamic of Contextualization in Indonesian Qur'anic Tafsirs: A Comparative Study of Tafsir Al-Azhar and Tafsir Al-Mishbāh on The Story of The Prophet Moses

The Indonesian Qur’anic tafsirs represent a contextual approach. Each tafsir scholar has different characteristics in contextualizing the meaning of the Qur’an so that it is relevant to contemporary Indonesian society. This article aims to show the dynamic character of Indonesian Qur’anic interpretation in contextualizing the meaning of the verses about Moses in the Indonesian context. This research uses a comparative method against the al-Azhar tafsir written by Haji Abdul Malik bin Karim Amrullah, also known as Hamka, and the Tafsir al-Mishbāh by M. Quraish Shihab. The three aspects compared and the research questions include: How is the story of Prophet Moses narrated in the two tafsir books? What are the interpretation methods used in the verses about the story of Prophet Moses, and how can the lessons from the story of Prophet Moses align with the Indonesian cultural context? The research results show that both tafsir books have similarities in making the story of Moses relevant to Indonesian society. The difference is that Tafsir al-Mishbāh appears more disciplined in following the textual meaning of the Qur’anic verses. In contrast, Tafsir al-Azhar is more flexible in its storytelling improvisation, making the story of Moses more cohesive and engaging. Shihab understands the story of Moses as Allah’s plan to overthrow human arrogance (Pharaoh), with a narrative flow following Allah’s laws. This retelling represents Shihab’s traditionalist and pragmatic thinking. In contrast, Hamka is more rational and critical. He views the story of Moses as a struggle and heroism that teaches the importance of hard work and intelligence in facing life’s challenges. The findings of this research contribute to showing the dynamic nature of Indonesian contextual tafsir. It illustrates how the Qur’anic interpretation maintains its textual meaning while remaining relevant for contemporary readers.
