Tafsir Lokal: Perbandingan Gaya Penafsiran al-Qur'an oleh Mahmud Yunus dan Bishri Mustafa

Abstract

The interpretation of the Qur’an in Indonesia cannot be separated from various social, cultural, and scientific factors that develop in society. In this context, the contribution of local scholars such as Mahmud Yunus and Bishri Mus}t}ofa has an important role in forming an interpretation that is in accordance with the dynamics of local society. Both figures offer an approach that not only combines religious understanding with local values, but also considers the development of modern science and thought. However, the differences in the interpretive approaches of these two figures have not been studied comprehensively, especially within the framework of nusantara interpretation. This article will explore and compare the methods and styles of interpretation of the two figures to understand their influence on nusantara interpretation of the Qur’an. This study uses a qualitative method with a comparative analysis approach. Data were otained through a literature review of the interpretive works of both figures and other supporting literature. This study shows that Mahmud Yunus in his interpretation book tends to understand the context using a scientific and technological approach, while Bishri Mus}t}ofa uses a Sufi and traditionalist approach. This comparison will show that both figures can make significant contributions in shaping the tradition of Qur’anic interpretation in Indonesia, with complementary styles in responding to the religious needs of the nusantara Muslim community.
