Abstract

This research is motivated by the persistent influence of mysticism in the religious life of the Sundanese community, including beliefs in amulets, magic, and syncretic spiritual practices. It aims to analyze the perspectives of two local Qur’anic exegeses (tafsir), namely “Tafsir Nurul Bajan” and “Tafsir Ayat Suci Lenyepaneun”, on these mystical practices through their interpretation of Q.S. Al-Baqarah verse 102. Employing a qualitative approach with library research and descriptive-interpretive analysis of the tafsir texts, the study reveals distinct interpretive approaches. “Tafsir Nurul Bajan” represents a normative-dogmatic style, strictly prohibiting magic and occult sciences as deviations from core faith. In contrast, “Tafsir Ayat Suci Lenyepaneun” offers a cultural-contextual approach, using Sundanese culture as a medium for da’wah while upholding the principle of monotheism. These differing approaches illustrate the dynamics of local tafsir in responding to mystical practices. The study concludes that vernacular exegesis serves not only as a tool for understanding the Qur’an but also as a vital instrument for negotiating between normative Islamic teachings and local cultural realities. It recommends further exploration of how such local interpretations can bridge the gap between orthodox doctrine and living traditions to foster a more contextual and harmonious Islamic practice.
