This paper investigates the influence of socio-cultural factors in Al-Ibr?z li Ma?rifat Tafs?r al-Qur??n al-?Az?z by Bisri Mustafa from Pesantren Raudhatut Thalibin (Rembang, Central Java), and Al-Ikl?l f? Ma??n? al-Tanz?l by Misbah Mustafa from Pesantren Al-Balagh (Tuban, East Java). Adopting a descriptive-analytical method, this study explores how both authors responded to socio-cultural phenomena or offered culturally grounded interpretations in their tafsir works. Their use of local knowledge and their responses to cultural practices are analyzed through content analysis to determine their interpretive orientations?whether leaning toward Arabization, Islamization, or localization. The findings reveal that both authors utilize local knowledge to explicate Qur?anic meanings. In responding to social phenomena, they adopt two main approaches: critical evaluation and selective accommodation of cultural practices. This study affirms the dynamic intellectual engagement of pesantren kiais in contextual Qur?anic interpretation.
