TAFSĪR ‘ILMĪ IN MADRASAH IBTIDAIYAH

Fri, 25 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Science and Islamic religion are closely related, especially in understanding the kawniyyah verses of the Qur'an that reflect natural phenomena. Islamic education plays a role in integrating these two aspects so that students understand science as part of Divine revelation. The tafsīr ‘ilmī approach in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) connects science with religious teachings through the interpretation of the verses of the Qur'an with a scientific perspective. This study aims to explore the application of tafsīr ‘ilmī in understanding the kawniyyah verses in MI and enrich students' scientific and spiritual insights. Qualitative methods with field research allow direct observation and data collection through observation and interviews. This approach helps identify the effectiveness and obstacles in the application of tafsīr ‘ilmī in the MI environment. Tafsīr ‘ilmī learning in MI connects science with religious teachings. Teachers explain natural phenomena such as the solar system, photosynthesis, or the creation of humans from a scientific perspective that is in line with the Qur'an. This approach encourages critical thinking, appreciation of science, and strengthens students' faith. The application of tafsīr ‘ilmī in MI forms a generation that is intellectually and spiritually intelligent. The integration of kawniyyah verses and scientific knowledge shows that religion and science complement each other. This study explores the supporting and inhibiting factors of its implementation and its impact on students' understanding. Thus, the results of the study are expected to provide real contributions in the development of learning methods based on the integration of religious knowledge and science in Islamic educational environments, as well as improving students' understanding of natural phenomena from a spiritual and scientific perspective.

SAJA‘ IN SURAH AL-‘ĀDIYĀT

Hanna Sajida Fitria, Nurul Kamaliah — Fri, 25 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Surah Al-‘Ādiyāt, which consists of 11 verses, contains the use of structured, rhythmic, and poetic language styles (saja‘). This study aims to reveal how the rhythm and structure of the language in this surah not only beautify the text but also arouse the emotions and awareness of the readers towards the messages contained in the Qur’an. The problem raised in this study is how the use of saja‘ language style contributes to beautifying and deepening the meaning and message that the Qur’an wants to convey. This research uses a qualitative approach with a content analysis method, with a focus on analyzing the metaphor of the elements used, as well as the uslub (language style) that supports the meaning of the metaphor. The results of the analysis show that there are several types of saja‘ in Surah Al-‘Ādiyāt, namely saja‘ muṭarraf as much as 1 data, saja‘ mutawāzī 3 data, and saja‘ muraṣṣa‘ 1 data. These findings provide a very clear picture of the important role of language styles in enriching meaning and also in increasing aesthetic power in the Qur’an. By using a structured and rhythmic language style, Surah Al-‘Ādiyāt not only succeeds in beautifying the text but also serves as a means to arouse the reader's feelings and understanding of the realities of life, the forces of nature, and the warnings contained in the divine message. This shows how the beauty of the language of the Qur’an helps deepen the spiritual and moral message for humanity.

SCHIZOPHRENIA ZIKIR THERAPY BASED ON THE INTERPRETATION OF MAFĀTĪḤ AL-GHAYB

Nurfadila Ibrahim — Fri, 25 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Modern humans face numerous complex life issues such as sadness, confusion, suffering, existential emptiness, stress, depression, and suicide. They strive to eliminate these problems from their lives, leading many to seek help from specialists to address their mental health concerns. Consequently, they often resort to various medications prescribed by doctors or psychiatrists, which can result in many developing schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a complex mental illness that affects an individual’s perception, thoughts, and behavior. However, in mental health studies, researchers and psychologists frequently focus more on biological and social aspects, neglecting the spiritual dimension. Therefore, this study aims to present and examine the concept of zikir therapy through the perspective of a prominent Islamic scholar found in Tafsīr Mafātīḥ al-Ghayb, addressing various aspects of human life, including psychological and spiritual issues as discussed by Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī. This research will analyze how al-Rāzī integrates zikir therapy into his interpretation of the Qur’an using a qualitative approach by identifying relevant Qur’anic verses such as Q.S. Yūnus [10]: 57, Q.S. Al-Isrā’ [17]: 82, Q.S. Asy-Syu‘arā’ [26]: 80, and Q.S. Ar-Ra‘d [13]: 28. Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī’s thoughts on mental health emphasize the importance of soul balance and the role of spirituality, offering a rich perspective for therapists addressing schizophrenia through zikir therapy. The concept of soul balance can be linked to zikir therapy efforts in managing chaotic emotions and thoughts in patients with schizophrenia. Meanwhile, the emphasis on spirituality can provide patients with a sense of peace and hope while helping them find meaning in life.

TAQDĪM AND TA’KHĪR IN THE WORDS RUKŪ‘ AND SUJŪD IN AL-QUR’AN AL-KARIM

Mujib Abdurrahman, Hurriyyah Komara Putri — Fri, 25 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0700

One of the beauties of the language of the Qur’an is taqdīm and ta’khīr, where a word is positioned first over another word for certain reasons. Usually, the pair itself is the same word and is often found in verses of the Qur’an, one of which is the words bowing and prostrating. Of the six verses that juxtapose these two words, five were found that positioned the word rukū‘ rather than sujūd, and only one verse put the word sujūd before rukū‘. So this research was made to uncover the secret behind the taqdīm of the words prostrate and ta’khīr the word rukū‘ and vice versa in terms of linguistics, namely balāghah science with its branch, namely ma‘ānī science. Meanwhile, this research is a type of research using library methods that is presented using descriptive analysis. Researchers found that the reason for the taqdīm of the word bowing down in several verses is based on the order of practice and pillars in prayer, for example, in Surah Al-Baqarah verse 125. Meanwhile, the taqdīm of the word bowing down is not because of a mistake; the order is based on the most noble practice according to Allah, namely in Surah Āli ‘Imrān verse 43. Meanwhile, the researcher’s suggestion is for readers to broaden their knowledge related to the rules of lughawiyyah in the Qur’an, especially in taqdīm and ta’khīr, as well as their causes and meanings, so as not to misunderstand and interpret the context of the Qur’an.

THE CONCEPT OF YOUTH IN THE QUR’AN

Zuni Nurrochim — Fri, 25 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to explore the concept of youth in the Qur’an through a thematic interpretation of five key terms that reflect the characteristics and values associated with young individuals: Aṣḥāb al-Kahfi, ghulāmin ḥalīm, bunayya, fatan/fityah, and dhurriyah. These terms were selected to represent ideal youth traits rooted in Qur’anic teachings. Using a qualitative research method with a thematic tafsir approach, this study systematically analyzes verses of the Qur’an to uncover these terms' deeper meanings and educational implications. The findings reveal that aṣḥāb al-kahfi symbolizes youth who are resilient and curious in their pursuit of truth; ghulāmin ḥalīm highlights gentleness, patience, and compassion; bunayya reflects filial piety and strong moral foundations; fatan/fityah illustrates courage and revolutionary spirit in upholding truth; and dhurriyah emphasizes the significance of nurturing generations that are faithful, morally upright, and spiritually steadfast. The study concludes that the Qur’anic concept of youth encompasses a holistic balance between intellectual competence, moral strength, courageous action, and spiritual resilience. These values are highly relevant for contemporary youth development and character education. The role of parents, educational institutions, and society at large is crucial in internalizing these values to shape youth into individuals of integrity, competitiveness, and positive societal impact.

BETWEEN CONTEXTUALIZATION AND DISTORTION

Lufaefi Lufaefi, Lukita Fahriana — Fri, 25 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0700

The development of digital media has significantly transformed the patterns of Qur’anic interpretation, including on the issue of nationalism in Islam. This study analyzes how verses related to nationalism are interpreted by two online media platforms: Detik.com and NU Online. Using a qualitative method with content analysis and Critical Discourse Analysis approaches, Detik.com interprets Q.S. Al-Isrā’ [17]: 70 as a foundation for freedom and human dignity, although academic tafsir traditionally views this verse as referring to the general honor bestowed upon humankind. The platform also uses Q.S. Al-Mumtaḥanah [60]: 8 to equate love for the homeland with defending religion, despite the verse’s original context focusing more on social relations and tolerance. Meanwhile, NU Online references Q.S. Al-Qaṣaṣ [28]: 85 as theological legitimacy for love of one's homeland, although it primarily refers to Allah’s promise to the Prophet Muhammad regarding his return to Mecca. Likewise, Q.S. An-Nisā’ [4]: 66 is interpreted as evidence of the significance of one’s birthplace, even though the verse contextually concerns the command to emigrate as a test of faith. The findings reveal that while these interpretations aim to contextualize nationalism within Islam, there is a tendency toward distortion due to selective verse usage and deviations from established academic tafsir methodology. It is crucial to apply sound and objective interpretive methods that go beyond pragmatic interests and remain academically accountable. This ensures that interpretations of nationalism-related verses in Islam reflect the Qur’an’s teachings in a comprehensive, logical manner, avoiding narrow ideological biases that risk diminishing the depth of the sacred text.
