METODOLOGI MUSLIM PROGRESIF DALAM MEMAHAMI PESAN SEJATI AL-QUR'AN
ABSTRACT: Al-Quran is
interpreted in different ways and approaches. Progressive Muslims, for
instance, pay attention to three themes, namely social justice, gender
equality, and pluralism. They propose their arguments based on the fundamental
understading from (alHijr/15:29, Şād/38:71, and al-Nahl/16:90), namely: (1)
every human being has the same intrinsic glory, (2) the main mission of human
presence in the world is to fight for and uphold justice for all mankind, and
(3) human being must be doing good deeds and behave politely. Their approaches
are: (a) critical engagement against the tradition, (b) multiple critique on
modernity, c) a plurality of sources, and (d) self-positioning, beyond
apologetics. Progressive Muslims have a hope to eliminate the uncertainty
dilemma of Muslims, i.e between bound by tradition, and the need for
responsive with the modernity.
