  • Indonesian Interpretation of the Qur'an
    Al-Jāmi‘ah: Journal of Islamic Studies - ISSN: 0126-012X (p); 2356-0912 (e) Vol. 57, no. 1 (2019), pp.143-166, doi: 10.14421/ajis.2019.57143-166 INDONESIAN INTERPRETATION OF THE QUR’AN ON KHILĀFAH The Case of Quraish Shihab and Yudian Wahyudi on Qur’an 2: 30-38 M. Djidin*; Sahiron Syamsuddin** * State Institute for Islamic Studies (IAIN) Ternate; **Sunan Kalijaga State Islamic University (UIN) Yogyakarta email: [email protected] Abstract Today the issue of building al-khilāfah al-islāmīyah (Islamic Caliphate) has been raised by Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI). One of its arguments is that it is obligatory, because Qur’an, 2:30 mentions the term khalīfah. However, this argument has been questioned by many Muslim scholars. Some of them are Quraish Shihab and Yudian Wahyudi. In this article a comparative study is conducted in such a way we can provide readers with a ‘direct’ comparasion between Shihab’s and Wahyudi’s thoughts. The emphasis of their differences is shown more clearly than their similarities. Some important points that are discussed here are their interpretations of Qur’an, 2: 30-38. After analyzing their statements expressed in their writings and interviews, we have found that both have the same idea that Qur’an, 2: 30 does not talk about the Islamic Caliphate, and therefore, it cannot be used as an argument for its building. We have also found that they have exegetical differences that might refer to the fact that Shihab has much emphasis on the ‘historical meaning’ of the verses, whereas Wahyudi prefers their ‘significance’ for human beings.

  • Michael Malley
    T he 7th D evelopment Cabinet: Loyal to a Fault? Michael Malley Five years ago, amid speculation that B. J. Habibie and his allies in the Association of Indonesian Muslim Intellectuals (ICMI) would gain a large number of seats in the cabinet, State Secretary Moerdiono announced that "expertise" would be Soeharto's chief criterion for choosing ministers. This year, despite the economic crisis that enveloped the country, few people even thought to suggest that Soeharto sought the most technically qualified assistants. As the outgoing cabinet's term wore to a close, the jockeying for influence among ministers and their would-be successors emphasized the most important qualification of any who would join the new cabinet: loyalty. As if to diminish any surprise at the lengths he would go to create a cabinet of loyalists, Soeharto fired his central bank chief, Soedradjad Djiwandono, in mid- February, just two weeks before the 6 ^ Development Cabinet's term expired. Together with the finance minister, Mar'ie Muhammad, Soedradjad had worked closely with the International Monetary Fund to reach the reform-for-aid agreements Soeharto signed in October 1997 and January this year. Their support for reforms that would strike directly at palace-linked business interests seems to have upset the president, and neither were expected to retain their posts in the 7 ^ Cabinet. But Soedradjad made the further mistake of opposing the introduction of a currency board system to fix the rupiah's value to that of the US dollar. The scheme's main Indonesian proponents were Fuad Bawazier, one of Mar'ie's subordinates, and Peter Gontha, the principal business adviser to Soeharto's son Bambang Trihatmodjo.

  • TAFSIR AL-LUBAB KARYA M. QURAISH SHIHAB (Kajian Metodologi Tafsir Kontemporer)
    TAFSIR AL-LUBAB KARYA M. QURAISH SHIHAB (Kajian Metodologi Tafsir Kontemporer) Mubaidillah1 Abstrak Kajian tentang al-Qur’an salah satunya yaitu dalam bentuk penafsiran. Umat Islam telah mulai menafsirkan al-Qur’an sejak masa turunnya al- Qur’an tersebut.Namun, perkembangan zaman yang tidak pernah berhenti, menuntut para mufassir untuk memahami dan menafsirkan ayat-ayat al- Qur’an dengan tujuan untuk menjawab persoalan-persoalan yang terjadi di tengah umat Islam.Dengan demikian umat Islam bisa dengan mudah mendapatkan petunjuk al-Qur’an melalui buah pikiran para mufassir.tafsir Al-Lubab merupakan salah satu dari beberapa kitab tafsir yang lahir di era modern ini yang memuat penjelasan dan kandungan-kandungan dari ayat- ayat al-Qur'an. penelitian ini berusaha menganalisa bagaimana metodologi penafsiran yang dilakukan oleh M. Quraish Shihab. Hasil kajian ini dapat dipetakan menjadi: pertama, tentang mazhab dan teologi Sebagai seorang yang moderat tentu agak sulit untuk menentukan apa faham teologi dan mazhab yang beliau anut, apalagi dalam Al-Lubab ini tidak ada satu pun rujukan dan buku referensi yang beliau tuliskan. Kedua, penjelasan Quraish yang singkat, padat dan langsung kepada intisari kandungan ayat al-Quran, tanpa menjelaskan ayatnya dengan ayat al-Qur’an dan hadits, maka dapat digolongkan bahwa tafsir ini adalah berdasarkan sumber penafsirannya adalah bir-ra’yi.Ketiga, tafsir al-Lubab ini menggunakan metode ijmali. keempat, corak penafsiran Quraish Shihab dalam al-Lubab ini adalah al- hida’I. kelima, tafsir yang ditulis Quraish ini menggunakan metode mushafiy, karena penulisan kitab tafsir ini berpedoman pada urutan susunan surah- surah dan ayat-ayat. Quraish memulainya dengan pengenalan terhadap nama surah, tujuan dan tema utama surah, lalu intisari kandungan surah, kemudian diakhiri dengan pelajaran yang dapat dipetik, yang terakhir ini disajikan dalam bentuk kolom.
