Studi Kritis atas Metode Tafsir Tematis al-Qur’an
Abstract: This article is
about a critical study of the thematic method of the Qur’an. It studies the
nature of the method and provides a critical assessment of it. One of the gaps
that the study will try to fill in is the lack of attention being given to the
context out of which any particular text was revealed. The thematic approach is
not particularly good at looking at the backgrounds of the text. It is this
shortcoming that the paper will try to evaluate critically. It argues that the
task of any interpreter of a text has been to understand first and foremost the
surroundings that shape the text and constitute part and parcel of it. This
understanding would determine the nature of the text and help guide the
interpreter in the process of interpretation. The meaning of a text can change
according to its context. The same word can infer to a different subject also
according to the context. The paper will further elaborate this point further
so as to give a clear idea that a thematic approach cannot ignore this aspect
of exegesis.
