Epistemologi Tafsir Al-Qur’an Kontekstual Abdullah Saeed Dalam Arus Perubahan Sosial-Budaya Masyarakat Kontemporer

Abd Aziz Faiz — 2024-06-15

This article delves into the progressive movement and the epistemological foundations of Abdullah Saeed's contextual interpretation, focusing on its pivotal role in addressing the growing disparity between Islamic sciences, particularly Quranic interpretation, and the complex realities of contemporary socio-cultural dynamics. Abdullah Saeed's contextual interpretation attempts to present an interpretive method to bridge this gap. Using a philosophical Islamic sciences approach and descriptive methods through content analysis, this paper presents the epistemological construction of Abdullah Saeed's contextual interpretation. This article finds the following two things: First, Saeed's contextual method situates Qur'anic interpretation within a discourse that is open and responsive to socio-cultural change and embraces a progressive Islamic framework. Second, Saeed's contextualist interpretive epistemology presents a discursive-comprehensive style in terms of sources, tools, methods, and knowledge validation. This style proves accommodating while transcending traditional textualist and semi-textualist interpretive approaches. The significance of this epistemology lies in its affirmation that Qur'anic interpretation is not at odds with scientific and socio-cultural considerations. Rather, it actively engages with contemporary issues such as inter-religious dialogue, human dignity, human rights, gender mainstreaming, and other pertinent matters.

Pemahaman Hadis Relasi pada non-Muslim Perspektif Moderasi Beragama Lukman Hakim Saifuddin

Moh. Misbakhul Khoir — 2024-07-29

Lukman Hakim Saifuddin's proposal of religious moderation offers a compelling perspective for understanding Hadith on inter-religious relations. This study aims to present an understanding of Hadith regarding relations with non-Muslims through the lens of Lukman Hakim Saifuddin's religious moderation. To achieve this, the research employs Islamic sciences, hermeneutic approaches, and descriptive methods through content analysis. Lukman Hakim Saifuddin advocates for a balanced, inclusive, and adaptive perspective in interpreting Hadith. His approach emphasizes the humanitarian aspect, ensuring that religious understanding and practice uphold the noble values of religion, particularly in maintaining human dignity and public benefit. The findings suggest that, according to Saifuddin’s religious moderation, Hadith on relations with non-Muslims advocate for harmony under normal conditions, reflecting the universality of Islamic teachings. However, in specific situations where injustice and violations of mutual commitments occur, resistance is necessary to uphold justice and mutual commitments. While Lukman Hakim Saifuddin's concept of religious moderation provides a broad framework, it lacks specific epistemological details for understanding religious texts. Therefore, to effectively apply this idea in interpreting religious texts, it is essential to integrate other scientific tools, especially the science of interpretation, to complement and support the overarching concept of religious moderation.

Reny Setiyowati — 2024-07-31

This study aims to elucidate the proportional relationship between Islam and Javanese culture through the analysis of the Rewanda offering tradition in Semarang. Utilizing Emile Durkheim's theory of the sacred and the profane as the analytical framework, this research identifies and classifies the elements of the Rewanda tradition into two main categories: sacred and profane. The study employs a descriptive qualitative method through observation, interviews, and literature review. Firstly, the research reveals the sacred elements within the Rewanda offering tradition, which include religious rituals, ancestor worship, and spiritual symbolism that reinforce Islamic values within the context of Javanese culture. These elements demonstrate that the tradition functions not only as a means of worship but also as a medium for strengthening spiritual and social bonds within the community. Secondly, the study classifies the profane elements of the tradition, encompassing aspects of daily life and social interactions related to the practice of the tradition. These profane elements reflect cultural adaptation and social interactions accompanying the ritual, showing how the tradition integrates with the everyday life of the Semarang community.

This study enriches the literature on the relationship between religion and culture and provides valuable insights into the dynamics of local traditions in preserving cultural heritage and spiritual values in contemporary society.
