PENAFSIRAN AL-AHRUF AL-MUQATTA’AH DALAM ALQUR’AN MENURUT IMAM AL-THABARY

Abstract

One of the forms of miracle in terms of language which remains unresolved till today is al-ahruf al-muqatt’ah which means that cut off letters begin some surrah in Alqur’an. The presence of these letters has resulted in different views among Muslim scholars since the Prophet times. Al-Thabari attempted to disclose this so that a clear picture on al-ahruf al-muqatta’ah could be seen. When classified, in Tafsir Al-Thabari al-ahruf al-muqatta’ah has some meanings, among others the name of God, the Greatest  used as an oath, the name of Alqur’an and the abbreviation of God’s characteristics.
