Abstract How ṣifāt traditions (hadiths with explicit anthropomorphic content) should be construed... more Abstract How ṣifāt traditions (hadiths with explicit anthropomorphic content) should be construed remains contentious in the history of Islamic theology. Contrary to most other Islamic scholars, the Hanbalites and modern Salafis prohibit all forms of interpretation, especially ta’wīl (figurative reading). In their perspective, ta’wīl reflects rationalistic epistemology that prefers reason to revelation. They claimed that all hadith authorities held a negative perception of ta’wīl until Ash’arī theologians altered their opinion in the 4th/10th century. This article argues that ta’wīl acceptance made by hadith scholars was not caused by the theologian’s rationalistic influence. Instead, it was a response to ahl al-ḥadīṭh’s radical anti-rationalism, which amounted to anthropomorphism. Through examining the thought of Abū Sulaymān al-Khaṭṭābī (d. 388/998), a prominent scholar of hadith in the 4/10 century in dealing with ṣifāt traditions, this study demonstrates how ta’wīl played a vital role in a reform effort that aimed at eliminating the anthropomorphism tendency within traditionists and aṣḥāb al-ḥadīth in 4/10 century.

With the tool of asbÄb al-nuzÅ«l, the exegetes obtain a structural rule that lets them supervise the verse. Furthermore, because of the problems attended upon taking a strictly historical view of asbÄb al-nuzÅ«l, Muslim scholars sometimes interpret an asbÄb al-nuzÅ«l to mean not an actual historical event, but any situation to which given Qur’anic verses might have application. Therefore, the aim of this study is to hunt a detailed inspection of rule of interpretation, which is related to asbÄb al-nuzÅ«l applied by M. Quraish Shihab (b. 1944), who was a prolific Indonesian exegete and his published works continue to exert a strong influence. Therefore, to arise a reasonably effortless question: what are the rules...

This research is a qualitative descriptive research through library research and content analysis method. The results show that the role of Islamic economic and finance in renewable energy programs in Indonesia is realized in several forms. First, sharia financial sector can be one of the options for renewable energy investment financing instruments. Second, the utilization of renewable energy can be the supporter and spearhead of the halal industry. Third, in a religious social context, renewable energy financing can be done with the concept of ta‘āwun and jāriyah alms through crowd funding and waqf. In order to optimize the role of sharia economy and finance in renewable energy programs in Indonesia, several steps and activities that can be done include: (1) intensifying the campaign against the excellence of renewable energy; (2) providing easy access and renewable ener...

Kitab rujukan utama umat Islam ini mengandungi tarbiah dalam pelbagai aspek dan untuk memahaminya ilmu tafsir telah membantu mendalami aspek tarbiah dengan lebih terperinci. Kajian ini menfokuskan kepada unsur tarbiah yang terdapat dalam empat surah Makkiyah dalam Jūz ‘Ammā yang telah digarap dari kitab Naẓarāt fī Kitābillah karya Zainab alGhazali (w. 2005), iaitu surah al-Kāfirūn, al-Ikhlāṣ, al-Falaq dan al-Nās. Dengan menggunakan kaedah analisis kandungan, kajian ini mendapati Zainab al-Ghazali (ZAG) adalah tokoh mufassirin wanita dari Mesir yang sangat berdedikasi dalam mendidik generasi Muslim melalui tarbiah. Kaedah yang digunakan oleh ZAG adalah terjemahan secara langsung dengan pendekatan da‘wī dan tarbawī. Kajian ini turut membuktikan unsur-unsur tarbiah akidah dalam surah Makkiyah telah berjaya membina generasi kepimpinan Muslim unggul yang patuh dengan ajaran Allah dan tetap dalam akidah dan ajaran Islam sehingga dapat membina beberapa kerajaan Islam di serata dunia

Explicitation is one of the translation procedures introduced by Vinay and Darbelnet as an effort to make the target language readers understand clearly the implicit meaning contained in the source text. In other words, the implicit meaning contained in the source text can be revealed into the target text through this procedure. A translator whose role is to transfer the meaning of source text is always bounded by a certain ideology that will influence his translation works. This study aims to examine the forms of explicitation used in the translation of the mutashabihat verses in the Quran and relate them to translators’ ideologies. This study adopted a qualitative approach that led to the analysis of text content of the Quran, which is elaborated descriptively by selecting three (3) words found in the text of the Quran that is related to Allah, as the samp...

In his exegesis of the Qur’an he applied several rules and were commonly observed by other exegetes to ensure their exegeses are in line with Islamic law. In view of this precedent, this study seeks to analyse the rules of interpretation applied by Shihab with special reference on his application of the qirƗ’Ɨt ‘readings’. To reach representative conclusions, this study undertakes an analysis of his exegesis by adopting the document analysis method by making language scriptures and venerated exegeses as the main sources of reference. This is to ensure that the rules that he had employed can be analyzed perfectly and also consistent with the conclusion made by the scholars. The study found that Shihab applied two rules related to qirƗ’at in his methodology, which have been affirmed by both scholars and exegetes.

M. Quraish Shihab, an archipelago commentator has used several rules of interpretation of the Koran. This study aims to view the similarities or differences in interpretation of the M. Quraish Shihab compared with the other commentator, particularly with al-Tabari. Therefore, this study has presented three examples of interpretation rules used by both of them on the same verse, namely idkhal al-kalam fi ma c ani ma qablahu wa ma ba c dahu awla min al-khuruj bihi c anhuma illa bi dalil yajib al-taslim lahu, tufhamu ma c ani al-af c al c ala dawi ma tataadda bihi and fi tafsir al-Quran bi

In fact, animism had been revered by all religions, and this theory was introduced by Edward Burnett Tylor (1832-1917) in the 19th century. Methodology: This article discusses on animism from the perspectives of prophetic traditions and Western Anthropologist. By applying content analysis method, this article found that both parties have some similarities and differences. In lieu of this, Islam concluded that animism or the belief in the power of invisible spirits of people’s ancestors and the spirits of nature to influence the fortunes of humans on earth are blasphemous and deviant. While in view of Anthropologist, anim...

The term ‘academic crime’ generally refers to the conduct of a few university lecturers, who violate the ethics and good practices of the teaching profession through the misappropriation of powers or by making false claims. However, academic crimes can also be classified as frauds in publications. Indeed, the ability to reason is one of the things that a person possesses. Nevertheless, it is not absolute, because the Quran and hadith are on the topmost. Methodology: This study uses the qualitative method and finds excessive rationality by the Anti-Hadith Group (AHG), leading them into a crime, i.e., rejection of the hadith as one of the sources of Islamic law. Findings: The revelation is believed to be true even though it contains metaphysics (al-ghaibiyyat) that cannot be logically explained. Furthermore, in rejecting hadith, the AHG ...

This kind of rule is also adopted by the other exegetes to ensure their exegeses are in line with the Islamic law.
