Historiografi Tafsir Ulama Nusantara: Telaah Atas Kitab Tafsir Sunda Malja At Thalibin Karya KH Ahmad Sanusi

Abstract

This article examines the historiography of the interpretation of Indonesian ulama entitled Malja At Thalibin by KH Ahmad Sanusi. He is a figure who has a unique way of thinking. Regarding religious activities, he has a different opinion on a number of issues, especially when viewed within the dominant framework of modernist and conservative philosophy. KH Ahmad Sanusi's participation in Furu'iyyah discussions with both traditional and modern groups is evidence of his intellectual influence in religious matters. The character of KH Ahmad Sanusi's religious ideology which does not fully support traditionalists and does not fully accept modernist perspectives, especially its emphasis on preaching and education, is the subject of discussion in this journal. This research was conducted using qualitative methods with a literature study approach. The data was taken from the main source, namely the interpretation of Malja at Thalibin, and other supporting sources were taken from various reading materials, namely books and scientific journals. This research shows that the perspective and socio-religious context of a mufassir have a major influence on the understanding of the Qur'an, allowing for a variety of interpretations. As a result, reading religious debates cannot be separated from in-depth consideration of the goals and ideologies of the mufassir.
