Abstract

Al-Tafsīr al-Maqāṣidī is a topic of research within the field of Quranic exegesis. The researchers of Quranic exegesis are actively discussing this field of knowledge. It is considered a means of ensuring that Islamic scholars remain steadfast in their interpretation of the verses of the Quran based on Maqāṣid al-Shāriʿ (Purpose of order from Allah) rather than on their own lusts or desires. Despite the vibrancy of research on Al-Tafsīr al-Maqāṣidī, the theory's construction requires ongoing research, and there is currently no thematic review of the scope of studies conducted on this subject. Therefore, the purpose of this thematic review is to synthesise the literature on the research scope of al-Tafsīr al-Maqāṣidī using ATLAS.ti 8. This study employs two research methodologies: i) Quantitative methodology, which involves numerical data; and ii) Qualitative methodology, which relies on the thematic analysis related to the study’s scope, al-Tafsīr al-Maqāṣidī. A keyword search followed by an inclusion criteria filter from Google Scholar, Research Gate, and Mendeley databases successfully identified 92 literary works. However, after the inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, only 68 papers were selected for review. The thematic review conducted in this study identified 86 initial codes characterising the research scope of al-Tafsīr al-Maqāṣidī, which were then classified into 12 clusters. These clusters can be classified into two categories: concept clusters and application clusters. The study’s findings discovered that while the effort to construct the theory of al-Tafsīr al-Maqāṣidī has long been undertaken, it has not been considered mature. In terms of application, the application of al-Tafsīr al-Maqāṣidī to contemporary issues is the most popular scope of the study. The findings of this study may benefit future research by addressing research gaps that have not been addressed in order to complete this branch of Quranic exegesis.
