Rekonstruksi Metodologis Wacana Keagamaan Muhammad Shahrour
Abstract: The main objective
of this paper is to explore the hermeneutical method of Muhammad Shahrour in
his interpretation of the holy Qur’ân. Shahrour–the Syrian scholar- is known
for his view that each and every word in the Qur’ân has an independent and
unique meaning. In other words, for him no two words share the same meaning in
the Qur’ân. Hence, he distinguishes between the Qur’ân and the Kitab and
reckons that the two words imply two different things conceptually. But
Shahrour is also known for his interpretation that would pay a good deal of
attention to the historical, social, literal and linguistical backgrounds of
the verses of the Qur’ân. And this he considers as the valid form of exegesis
capable of unearthing the hidden meaning of the Qur’an. This paper argues that
the hermeneutical method of Shahrour necessitates that the verses of the Qur’ân
must be interpreted in such a way as to suit the demands of time, and to do
that one must not only understand the meaning of the text but also the meaning
of its context.
