PENAFSIRAN AL-QUR’AN DENGAN FILSAFAT: TELAAH KITAB MAFĀTĪḤ AL-GHAYB FAKHRUDDĪN AL-RĀZĪ
Abstract
Qur’anic exegesis has existed since the life of the Prophet Muhammad. It is divided into two forms, i.e. bi alma’thÅ«r and bi al-ra’y. Tafsir Falsafi is part of tafsir bil ra’y, which is built upon reasoning when interpreting the Qur’an. Some scholars reject this interpretation, but some accept it. Tafsir Falsafi is to interpret the Qur’anby using philosophical approaches. Among the scholars are al-FarÄbÄ«, Ibn SÄ«nÄ, IkhwÄn al-á¹¢afÄ, and FakhruddÄ«n al-RÄzÄ«. This paper will study FakhruddÄ«n al-RÄzÄ«, one of the most leading scholars in the subject, by focusing on his great work the MafÄtīḥ al-Ghayb. This paper will examine a method of interpretation of al-RÄzÄ«, which is taḥlÄ«lÄ«.Keywords: Tafsir Falsafi, MafÄtīḥ al-Ghayb, FakhruddÄ«n al-RÄzÄ«
