Kritik Muhammad Shahrur terhadap Asbab al-Nuzul dalam Penafsiran al-Qur’an
Get PDFThis article proves that Asbab al-Nuzul is an important element in interpreting the Qur’an and is a part of Ulum al-Qur’an. The result of this article has proven the weakness of Shahrur’s opinion (1938-...) expressing that present-time interpretation does not need the Asbab al-Nuzul, because, according to him, that tradition was only a form of history in interpretation, which is applicable only for the time of revelation, and not applicable in the present time. This article strengthens Abu Zaid’s opinion (1943-…) which considers Asbab al-Nuzul as historical information and as important element in Qur’anic interpretation at the same time. This article also supports Fazlurrahman’s view (d. 1988) which makes Asbab al-Nuzul -- either in macro or in micro -- as historical information that must be known and used in interpretatio
Legalisasi Rasm ‘Uthmani dalam Penulisan al-Qur’an
Get PDFThis article discusses the debates on the use of rasm ‘Uthmani in the writing of the Qur’an. By comparing and analyzing the arguments of three madhhabs, this article argues that the debate has to be ended, since, in principle, the recitation of the Qur’an does not only refer to the text’s writing, but also to its chain of transmissio
The Qur’an as Literature: Literary Interpretation of the Qur’an

Perkawinan Lintas Agama dalam Kajian Tafsir Formatif
Get PDFThis article discusses the issue of interreligious mariage in the formative era of Islam. It discusses the different opinions found in the time of the Prophet Muhammad, his Companions and his Followers.

Salafi Tafsirs: Textualist and Authoritarian?
Get PDFThis essay looks at some Salafi tafsirs to examine the extent to which their interpretation ignores or rejects both the socio-historical context of revelation and that of interpretation, and the extent to which their interpretation denies any possibility to understand differently. Taking the hijabs verses as a a case study, the author shows similarities and differences between the three tafsirs under scrutiny in terms of their “textualism” and “authoritarianism
Arus Baru Kecenderungan Penafsiran Kontemporer

It will first elaborate the origin of hermeneutics, how it has been used by many Muslim scholars, and why many Muslims regarded negatively to this approach. The article then discusses the second approach which is the most used in the Qur’anic interpretation, because, this article argues, it has many advantages, compared to the previous one. At the end, this article proposes the integration between the two approache
Sirah Nabawiyah dan Demitologisasi Kehidupan Nabi
Get PDFThere are two aspects in the personality of the Prophet Muhammad: revelation and culture. Both of them developped the character and the behavior of the Prophet Muhammad as a mere human being as well as a prophet. It is difficult sometimes to differentiate between these two entities. However, the failure to distinguish the two, this article argues, will mythologize the life of the Prophet and then finally sacralize him. Therefore, this article proposes that the understanding of the sirah nabawiyah is the key in demythologization of the life of the Prophe
Diskursus Metodologi Studi Hadis Kontemporer Analisa Komparatif antara Pendekatan Tradisional dan Pendekatan Revisionis
Get PDFHadith studies in contemporary period developed into two different approaches: traditional and revisionist approach. Fuat Sezgin, Nabia Abbott, and M.M Azami were the students of Hadith using traditional approach. In studying Hadith, they departed from Islamic basic assumption and scientific method, especially the method of Hadith and rijal sciences. In their works, they never criticized Islamic sources. They believed in what was said, transmitted, interpreted, and written by early muslim generation as what really happened. On the contrary, Ignaz Goldziher, Joseph Schacht, and G.H.A. Juynboll were the students of Hadith using revisionist approach who always see Islamic sources critically and sceptically. They didn’t believe in the authenticity of the Islamic sources before they proved that the authenticity of the sources was verified by applying a source critical method. The use of a source critical method was to be special characteristic of revisionist approach in studying the prophetic Hadith
