TY - JOUR ID - digilib9806 UR - https://digilib.uin-suka.ac.id/id/eprint/9806/ IS - No 2 A1 - ROFIQ, AHMAD CHOIRUL Y1 - 2009/04/03/ N2 - According to Islamic theology, al-Maturidi is one of the three prominent Muslim theologians of Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama?ah who are called aqtab madhhab Ahl al-Sunnah wa?l-Jama?ah (the leaders of Sunnite school of thought). In addition to his reputation as a theologian, al-Maturidi actually was competent in various Islamic sciences. In Qura?nic exegesis, he has Ta?wilat Ahl al-Sunnah or Ta?wilat al-Qur?an. Unfortunately, this fact isn?t known well by Islamic researchers. This article is going to elucidate the features of his work that encompass at least seven characteristics. Al-Ma>turidi prefers to combine the naqli (traditional) and ?aqli> (rational) sources. Consequently, it can be identified as tafsi>r bi?l-izdiwa>j or the exegesis that amalgamates tafsi> r bi?l-ma?thu>r (traditional exegesis) with tafsi> r bi?l-ra?y (rational exegesis). He is not an interpreter who uses excessive grammatical analysis to interpret the Qura?nic verses. He sometimes presents many styles of qira>?ah (recitation of the Qur?an) without thorough explanation. He almost never uses Isra?iliyya>t (the Judeo-Christian traditions and tales) to interpret the Qura?nic verses. He favors tawassut\ (nonaligned and independent standpoint) when he deals with different viewpoints among theologians. He tends to follow the H{anafite school of thought in discussing the jurisprudential Qura?nic verses. He applies asba>b al-nuzu>l (the causes of revelation) loosely.
