Maqashidi Interpretation Perspective on Coastal Reclamation in Q.S. Al-Nahl [16]: 14

Muhammad Ilham Sofyan (Indonesia) — 2023-12-31

In general, the Qur'an explains the practices of utilizing marine areas by means of fishing, collecting pearls, trading, and transportation in Surah Al-Nahl 14. When interpreting this verse, scholars do not impose restrictions on the methods of benefiting from the sea (variability). However, the aspect of preservation from harm must still be fulfilled. Coastal reclamation projects often lead to electoral conflicts, including their impacts on the damage to marine ecosystems and coastal areas. The objective of this research is to understand the Qur'an's response to coastal reclamation practices and the ideal methods for benefiting from the sea. This type of research is a qualitative literature study using the Maqashidi Tafsir method. This methodological approach is suitable because it can explore the dimensions of the ghayah (purpose) and wasilah (means) of specific themes in the Qur'an, making it relevant to address current issues. The research results in the perspective that the Maqashid of Surah Al-Nahl 14 align with coastal reclamation practices but emphasize the need to mitigate their impact to prevent harm to marine and coastal ecosystems. The utilization of the sea is also considered from a protective (min haits al-adam) and productive (min haits al-wujud) perspective.

Epistemological Perspective on Orientalist Thought and The Originality of The Qur'an

Farida Nur Afifah (Indonesia) — 2024-01-12

Differences in views regarding the originality of the Qur’an between classical and contemporary orientalists are increasingly problematic. Library research data collection techniques. The collected data are classified and analyzed using Emmanuel Kant’s epistimological theory. The data sources used consisted of primary sources obtained from several orientalists and secondary sources obtained from several previous studies. The result of this studi, first, teh differences in the view of the orientalists were influenced by three things, namely the main source, methodology, and the validity of the truth used to measure originality of the Qur’an. Second, classical orientalists in their studies tend to be theological in nature, while contemporary orientalists tend to be sociological, anthropological, and do not involve the realm of theology, so the results are more objective. Thrid, the similarity of some contents of the Qur’an is considered normal because the Qur’an is affirmative and complements existing books.

Logical Positivism in The Interpretation of The Al-Qur`an

Sukma Maulana (Indonesia) — 2024-01-13

The truth of the Qur’an is not only text but also context. Recently, many scientific researchers have tried to explore the truth of the Qur’an through a scientific approach as well. Tafsir scholars also do not miss out on contributing interpretations using a logical approach. There are still many orientalists or people who do not believe in the Qur'an who say that the Qur'an cannot be verified as scientific. This is interesting, because the issue of the originality of the Qur’an from time to time has always been a problem. The Qur'an talks about science, providing information that can be used as a reference for truth. Various methods of interpretation have been created to make it easier to understand verse by verse. One that is commonly used in interpretation is the bil al-ra'yi method, which is then a method that has similarities with the theory of logical positivism. This research uses the library research method by referring to tafsir books. Through the Logical Positivism method developed by philosophers, the truth of the Qur’an can increasingly be proven because this theory was created to provide an argument for truth through the principle of verification. In this research, the researcher only mentioned three of several verses from the Qur’an about science which were measured by Logical Positivism, namely about the creation of humans, the benefits of honey and sea water meeting fresh water.
