Tradisionalisme, Metodologi Penafsiran, dan Lokalitas Budaya Jawa dalam Tafsir al-Iklīl fī Ma’ānī al-Tanzīl: Analisis Epistemologi Tafsir Nusantara Abdul Mustaqim.
Keywords:
cultural locality, epistemology, interpretive methodology, Nusantara tafsir, traditionalismAbstract
Despite extensive studies on Indonesian Qur'anic exegesis (tafsir Nusantara), integrated analyses examining traditionalism, interpretive methodology, and Javanese cultural locality within a unified epistemological framework remain limited. This study explores these three dimensions in Tafsir al-Iklīl fī Ma’ānī al-Tanzīl by KH. Misbah Mustafa through Abdul Mustaqim's epistemological perspective of Nusantara tafsir. Employing a qualitative approach with descriptive-analytical and content analysis methods, data were collected from the primary source Tafsir al-Iklīl and secondary sources on Nusantara tafsir epistemology. The findings reveal that Tafsir al-Iklīl demonstrates moderate and critical traditionalism through five parameters: commitment to authentic teachings via tafsir bi al-ma’thūr, clear scholarly transmission chains, consistent theological unity emphasizing tawhid, open-mindedness toward differences, and application of wasathiyah principles. The interpretive methodology employs taḥlīlī method with adabi ijtimā’ī characteristics, integrating textual precision with social realities while predominantly referencing Shafi'i jurisprudence. Javanese cultural dialectics manifest through Pegon script usage, Arabic term adaptation into local contexts, and sharp critique of deviant practices including excessive tahlil, commercialized Qur'anic recitation competitions, teacher deification, and blind adherence. This study demonstrates that traditionalism need not be conservative but can be transformative when classical intellectual heritage dialogues with local sociocultural realities within critical and contextual epistemological frameworks. Practically, this research provides significant reference for Islamic education practitioners, preachers, and curriculum developers in Qur'anic studies programs to integrate local wisdom considerations without compromising Islamic teachings' purity.
