Pendekatan tafsir Tuan Guru Abdul Hadi Awang dalam berinteraksi dengan riwayat Isrā’iliyyāt

Abstract

Interpretation scholars used Isrā’īliyyāt’s narration while interpreting qaṣaṣ al-Qur’ān by using different approaches such as narrating part of the Isrā’īliyyāt’s narration, focusing the narration in a specific category or by not giving any commentary on its status. This narration could divert the reader’s focus from the teaching contained in the qaṣaṣ al-Qur’ān to a worthless debate. Therefore, this research analyses Abdul Hadi Awang’s interpretation method in interacting with Isrā’īliyyāt’s narration. This research uses a qualitative design by content analysis. The collection of the research’s data was through document analysis on an audio recording of a few quranic chapters interpreted by Abdul Hadi. NVivo software was applied to analyse the data descriptively. The finding of the research shows that the Isrā’īliyyāt narration presented by Abdul Hadi was divided into two categories, namely narration that comes with commentary and narration without commentary. Besides, it was noted that the Isrā’īliyyāt narration found in Abdul Hadi’s interpretation was not his own source of interpretation, in fact, it was presented to attract the audience’s attention in his lecture.
