Umar, M. S. has written a work entitled Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan which is a work in the field of tafsir al-Quran. To deepen and understand the verses of the Qur'an, the community has used this work as their reference. However, some scholars have criticized this work of Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan because they think that Umar, M. S. merely used his views when interpreting the Qur’an. Things like this cause a lot of people to be confused with the validity of the interpretation made by him. Therefore, the main objective of this research is focused on studying and tracing reference sources based on the work of al-Futuhat al-Ilahiyyah by al-‘Ujjaily, S. used by Umar, M. S. in Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan, in addition to revealing how the references are processed. The genetic approach introduced by Goldman was used when this study was conducted. Through this approach, all the reference sources that the author uses from the work of al-Futuhat al-Ilahiyyah by al-‘Ujjaily, S. are revealed. The study showed that the author of Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan took five approaches when processing the text from the work he referred to, namely; the text is quoted accurately and in parallel, the author quotes the text abstractly from the work, the author removes some words from the referenced text before loading in Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan, the author adds descriptions and explanations to the quoted text and the author changes the transferred text information. The researcher revealed that Umar, M. S. referred to the work of al-Futuhat al-Ilahiyyah when writing Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan to strengthen his work. Thus, he succeeded in doing so because the text referred to coincided with the text in his work. However, some texts contradict the reference text. In this section, the interpretation that the author makes becomes weak.

Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan is the second interpretation after Tarjuman al-Mustafid written in the Malay language in the 19th century AD by Sheikh Muhammad Sa'id ibn Umar. The main objective of this study is to identify the influence of the external source in the text of Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan. This study is important because it can unravel the reference works used by Sheikh Muhammad Said ibn Umar when producing Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan. This disclosure can also strengthen the work and continue to be a guide and reference for the community in understanding the contents of the Qur'an. When conducting research, the researchers applied the method of library research by using the intertextual reading methodology. This research focuses on the application of the Expansion method which is one of the approaches in intertextual reading when analyzing the text of Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan. The research design used is documentation and fieldwork using the subjective approach that employs descriptive and qualitative data. The study reveals that there are nine (9) works which have influenced the essence of Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan which are Tafsir al-Jalalyn, Tafsir al-Jamal, Tafsir al-Baydawi, Tafsir al-Khazin, Tafsir al-Baghawi, Tafsir al-Tabari, Tafsir al-Qurtubi, Tafsir al-Razi, and Tafsir al-Nasafi. The finding analysis also reveals that Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan is mostly influenced by Tafsir al-Jalalyn. Referring to the further study of this work, researchers are recommended to examine the text of the verses of the Qur'an, the use of punctuation, and the author's thoughts found in this Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan.

The Malay scholars of the archipelago have been active in producing works in various fields of Islamic studies. These areas are faith, Sufism, and interpretation of the Qur'an. One of the works written in the field of tafsir al-Quran is Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan produced by Umar, M. S. This work is widely referenced by the community in understanding the contents of the Qur'an. However, the results of the survey found that there are previous researchers who believe that the author of this work does not use authoritative reference sources when describing the facts related to the Qur'an, while the initial reading found that the author did not use his own opinion when interpreting the Qur'an in his work, even many of the works of muktabar reference that he referred to. Since this work is still referenced by the community then a refinement effort must be made. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to study and trace the reference sources used by Umar, M. S. in Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan, in addition to the researcher revealing how the references are processed by him using the genetic approach introduced by Goldman. Through this approach, all reference sources used from the work of Anwar al-Tanzil wa Asrar al-Takwil by al-Baydawi, A. U. are revealed. This study shows that the author of Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan has taken five approaches when processing the text from the work he referred to, namely; the text is quoted accurately and in parallel, the author quotes the text abstractly from the work, the author removes some words from the referenced text before being included in Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan, the author adds descriptions and explanations to the quoted text, and the author denies part of the referenced text. The researcher revealed that Umar, M. S. referred to the work of Anwar al-Tanzil wa Asrar al-Takwil when writing Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan to strengthen his work. He manages to strengthen his interpretation if the text referred to coincides with the text in his work. But, on the other hand, if the reference text is not parallel or contradictory then the intention of the author to strengthen the interpretation in his work in this section is not successful.
