Abstract

This paper delves into the analytical interpretation of the Holy Quran, an esteemed approach in the field of Quranic interpretation. As a dynamic and evolving discipline, the translation and interpretation of the Holy Quran constantly evolves, guided by the principles of Sharia and the contextual needs of the time. Among the earliest and most influential methods of interpretation is the analytical approach, which has been employed in numerous renowned exegeses such as Tafsir-al-Tabari, Tafsir Bahr al-Muhit, Tafsir Ibn Kathir, and others. A distinguishing feature of the analytical interpretation method is that commentators interpret Quranic verses in the order they appear in the Mus'haf (the written compilation of the Quran), comprehensively exploring each verse before proceeding to the next. Each interpreter adopts the analytical method according to their expertise and interests, often encompassing introductory remarks on the Surah, connections between verses, reasons for revelation, lexical meanings, juridical inferences, grammatical analysis, rhetorical and lexical nuances, scientific miracles, interpretations in light of contemporary sciences, and other relevant aspects. This research utilizes a descriptive and analytical approach, drawing upon scholarly books, academic articles, and the works of esteemed Islamic scholars who have made significant contributions to Quranic interpretation. Through this method, individuals can address their specific scholarly needs. Al-Mashhadani: 248-266). It is worth noting that other interpretive methods, such as the method of Tafsit Ijmali, Tafsir Mawzui, and Tafsir Moqarin, draw inspiration from the analytical interpretation of the Holy Quran.

In conclusion, the analytical interpretation of the Holy Quran provides a comprehensive framework for understanding its profound messages. This method offers various stages and features that facilitate a deep and multifaceted analysis of the Quranic text. As an example, this paper includes an illustration of the analytical interpretation method from Tafsir Munir, authored by the esteemed scholar Dr. Wahba al-Zuhaili. It is hoped that this discussion and example will prove beneficial to readers in comprehending and appreciating the analytical interpretation approach.
