The purpose of this article is to delve into the profound meaning of jihad found in the Qur'an, with a specific focus on the methodology of interpretation by Ibn Ashur concerning the verses related to jihad. In the present time, there is a widespread misconception among both Muslim and non-Muslim communities, associating jihad with excessive violence, war, and bloodshed. Consequently, Islam is falsely accused of being a religion propagated and developed through violence. The findings of this research demonstrate that jihad is not solely defined in a radical sense. In the Qur'an, the term jihad encompasses various meanings, including difficulty or trial, capability, and the personal identity of a Muslim. This study provides evidence that jihad extends beyond the context of warfare and encompasses struggles against one's desires, combating evil, maintaining harmony within the family, managing wealth, and the pursuit of knowledge or combating ignorance. The significant outcome of this research is the revelation of the diverse interpretations of jihad that transcend the commonly assumed association with violence and warfare.

Because of that, there are some scholars who accept the naskh theory and some do not.

This article discusses the patterns in contemporary literary methods offered by Amin al-Khuli to the world of interpretation. The author finds that Amin al-Khuli gives the tendency of mufassir in interpreting the Qur'an, so that interpretation is more oriented towards hudalinnas and uses the concept of the Qur'an as the book of Salih li kulli al-zaman wa al-makan. The literary approach brought by Amin al-Khuli was then interpreted by his student Aisyah Abdurrahman Bint al-Syathi' who was none other than his wife. Bint al-Syathi' then applied this method in his commentary which includes the first fourteen Makiyyah chapters entitled al-Tafsir al-Bayan li al-Qur'an al-Karim.

Talking about the human soul remains interesting and relevant because it does not exist in a vacuum. There are three main things to note. First, the science of the human soul is related to dynamic human life. Second, talk about the human soul must be in line with the demands of the globalization era. Third, human nature must be creative and innovative. The psychology of Islamic education and talk about human beings is an important part. Humans are the subject and object of education. In an Islamic perspective, humans have two major tasks as servants of Allah SWT, namely total dedication to the Creator and the task of prospering the earth as caliphs. Humans have several comprehensive aspects, such as bodies, feelings, thoughts, and the complexity of the reality of life. Therefore, Islamic education must pay attention to all these aspects. Humans have two potentials facing each other, good and bad. In the context of Islamic Educational Psychology, psychology functions as a guide to develop good potential and control human bad potential. Aspects of the human psyche with all its potential is a manifestation of devotion to Allah SWT. The ultimate goal of Islamic Educational Psychology is to introduce humans to their God, so that they become people of faith and piety.

What this method stands out for is analyzing the various dimensions contained in the verse to be interpreted. The author also takes the theme of hubb / love, which is still widely discussed at all times.

This article aims to find out the problems in the implementation of the adoption of children in terms of Islamic law contained in QS. al-Ahzab verses 5. Feeling a child who is not his biological child is often understood as permissible, this is evidenced by the fact that there are still many adoptive parents who entrust their adopted children to him. This study uses the maqashidi interpretation approach to capture the maqashid that exists in the law of child adoption. The result of this work explains that in QS. al-Ahzab verses 5 explains the monasticity of a person to call an adopted son to one other than his father. However, it is allowed if it is because of someone's ignorance.

This study examines the differences between al-manhaj and al-ṭariq in the methodology of interpretation. The research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of these terms. A literature review approach was employed, analyzing relevant scholarly sources on the topic. Content analysis was conducted to compare the definitions and usage of al-manhaj and al-ṭariq in various tafsir works. The findings reveal that although al-manhaj and al-ṭariq have distinct appearances, they share the fundamental meaning of being methods or approaches to achieve a goal. However, their usage and emphasis differ in the field of tafsir methodology. Al-manhaj is closely related to the writing style, interpretive school, and general form of interpretation adopted by a mufassir and their tafsir book. On the other hand, al-ṭariq pertains to the research methods and steps used as a practical implementation of the manhaj. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the nuanced differences between al-manhaj and al-ṭariq in tafsir methodology. It highlights the importance of considering these terms in the field of interpretation. By clarifying their meanings and usage, this study provides valuable insights for scholars and researchers in the field of tafsir. It serves as a foundation for further exploration and discussion on the topic, ultimately enhancing the knowledge and understanding of tafsir methodology.

The development of commentary books is always rife, starting from the classical to contemporary periods, as well as the styles adopted by the commentators are also varied. One of the interpretations that emerged in the contemporary era is one with a scientific pattern. The mufaasir who carries this model is Thatnthawi Jauhari in his commentary al-Jawahir fi Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim. In compiling his book of commentaries, in this interpretation he reveals about the many new things in interpreting the Koran, so you don't have to stick to classic things that don't have much contribution in understanding the Koran, because of that idea many people criticize Tantawai that he is not a mufassir but a person who will understand the Koran only from the point of view of reason not naqli. This study uses a qualitative approach with the library research method. The results of this study are that Tantawi uses the tahlili method with the nuances of scientific interpretation that prioritizes ratios.
