Model Interpretasi al-Qur’an Abdullah Saeed
Abstract: This article tries
to deliver Abdullah Saeed’s idea on the new approach to inter pret the Qur’ân
called contextualist approach. He proposes his ideas based on his finding that
there is a gap between texts which have been understood literally by majority
of ulama’ and socio-historical context of the Qur’ân at the time of revelation
in the first/seventh century and the contemporary concerns and needs of Muslims
today. Based on his expertise on hermeneutic, he proposes four stages: encounter
with the world of the text, critical analysis, meaning for the first recipients
and meaning for the present. The proposed idea should be appreciated even
though it seems that it is a preliminary study which has to be elaborated into
practical way
