Methods and Patterns of Thinking in the Al-Manar Tafsir
Keywords:
Al-Manar Interpretation, Analytical Interpretation Method, Literary-Social Style, Rationality, Renewal of Islamic ThoughtAbstract
This study aims to describe the history, methods, patterns of thought, relevance, and contributions of contemporary tafsir scholarship. Using descriptive-critical analysis, this study maps the foundations of Abduh and Ridha's thinking, which emphasizes rationality, social morality, and the principle of maslahah as the basis for interpreting the Qur'an. The results of the study show that al-Manār uses a tahlīlī (analytical) method with an adabī-ijtimā‘ī (literary-social) nuance, focusing on the purification of faith, criticism of taklid (blind imitation without reason), and encouragement to revive ijtihad. Abduh prioritized reason as an important instrument in understanding revelation, while Ridha expanded the project with a socio-political movement dimension oriented towards the revival of the ummah. Critically, al-Manār has great significance in building bridges between tradition and modernity, offering an integrative and adaptive model of interpretation. The uniqueness of the methods and style of thought in Tafsir Al-Manar lies in its rational-reformative approach, which combines the text of the Qur'an with reason, science, and social reality to answer the problems of modern communities. As a result, this interpretation encourages a dynamic, contextual understanding of Islam that is oriented towards social renewal and the advancement of civilization
