Kontribusi Metode Penafsiran Al-Qur’an Sebagai Implementasi Ajaran Islam Dalam Kehidupan (Masa Klasik Hingga Kontemporer)

Abstract

Normatively, the Qur'an is believed to have absolute truth, but the truth of the interpretation of the Qur'an is relative and tentative. Because interpretation is the interpreter's response when understanding the text of the holy book, the situation and social problems he faces. So there is no truly objective interpretation because the interpretation of a text, including the text of the Qur'an, is greatly influenced by the history of the scientific, cultural background and the assumptions behind the interpreter. So the study of the history of the interpretation of the Qur'an has its own appeal for those who are serious about understanding the Qur'an. Therefore, it is not surprising that among Muslims, interpretive products are always emerging which are full of various interpretive methods and approaches in line with the pace of change and challenges of the times. In this article the author tries to describe the history of the interpretation of the Qur'an through a discussion of the history of the revelation of the Qur'an, the history of interpretation of the Qur'an starting from interpretation using history, reason and mental exercise.
