This research discusses the concept of Ummatan Wasaṭan in the Qur'an through a comparison of Sayyid Qutb's interpretation in Tafsir Fī Ẓilālil Qur'an and Wahbah Zuhayli's interpretation in Tafsir Al-Munir, with the aim of examining the meaning of Ummatan Wasaṭan in both interpretations. The researchers describe and analyze the meaning of Ummatan Wasaṭan according to contemporary commentators, particularly Sayyid Qutb and Wahbah Zuhayli. This research is a literature review that uses a comparative method by comparing the similarities and differences in the interpretations of Sayyid Qutb and Wahbah Zuhayli. The object of this research is the interpretation of the meaning of Ummatan Wasaṭan in the Qur'an. In general, the presentation of Sayyid Qutb's interpretation in the Tafsir Fī Ẓilālil Qur'an uses the tahlili method with a bi al-iqtiran interpretation approach and is characterized by adab al-ijtima'i,while the presentation of Wahbah Zuhayli's interpretation in Tafsir Al-Munir employs the tahlili and maudhu'i methods with the interpretation approach of bi al-iqtiran and al-ijima'i adab pattern with fiqhi nuances. Sayyid Qitb interprets Ummatan Wasaṭan not only as the chosen people, but also as Muslims who are just, balanced, and will be witnesses of all mankind. Wahbah Zuhayli interprets Ummatan Wasaṭan as Muslims who are chosen as people who are in a middle position, fair in handling things, and thus become the best people.
