THE DISCUSSION OF QIRA’AT TURJUMAN AL-MUSTAFID EXEGESIS BOOK BY SHEIKH ABDUL RAUF SINGKEL
Abstract: Muslims got mercy
upon the provision of differences in reading al-Qur`an. The differences have
made significant influence on the interpretation of the Holy Book. The
commentators of al-Qur`an adopted the qira’at differences as an integral part
of their interpretation. For example, Ibn Jarir al-Tabari who wrote Tafsir
al-Tabari and Abdul Rauf Singkel who wrote Tafsir Turjuman al-Mustafid. Abdul
Rauf Singkel was a famous Qur’anic exegesis scholar in the Indonesia
Archipelago whose work became the main reference of Muslims alongside the
archipelago. In interpreting the verses of al-Qur`an, Abdul Rauf put qira’at
distinction as one of his focuses of interpretation. In his work, Shaikh Abdul
Rauf cited only three of the available seven qira’ats that he considered
mutawatir and valid. Among those three qira’ats is qira’at Imam Nafi’, qira’at
Imam Abu Amr and qira’at Imam Hafash. This study has shown despite differences
in the implication of the qira’ats, there also the differences in meaning and
understanding. Shaikh Abdul Rauf merely provided information about the
difference in readings rather than showing a difference of meaning contained in
each of the differences
