METODE PENAFSIRAN AL-QUR’AN M. QURAISH SHIHAB
ABSTRACT: Nowadays, M. Quraish
Shihab is a well known authoritative intellectual (ulama) of Qur’anic Tafsir in
Indonesia and even in South East Asia. Started from his early age, he
consistently devotes his life for this field. As the result, all his scientific
works are solely based on Quranic studies. From this intensity of works,
Quraish then formulates a tafsir method considered relevant to nowadays
context. This paper is aimed to explore the method used by Quraish Shihab in
Quranic tafsir. His method in Quranic tafsir is mostly mawdhu’I, even though he
has finished a complete tafsir book for 30 Quranic sections which is arranged
in tahlili. In his maudhu’I interpretation, Quraish prefers an ijtima’I style
of tafsir, and considers the importance of linguistic approach. The latter is
considered important to make the interpreter not forcing his interpretation
outside of linguistic meaning as it will lead to the exploitation of Al-Quran.
This linguistic approach is then combined with a view that Al-Quran is a unity
and cannot be separated. In addition, Quraish also emphasizes on
proportionality (munasabah) between one verse to another and between one surah
to another.
