HERMENEUTIKA AL-QUR’AN: Analisis Pemikiran Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd terhadap QS. An-Nahl: 90

Abstract

The Qur'an is believed to be a source of teachings that are always relevant in answering various problems of life across the ages. This relevance can be realized if the text of the Qur'an is studied through a contextual and critical methodological approach. This article aims to analyze QS. An-Nahl verse 90 by using the hermeneutic approach of Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd to reveal the dimension of meaning that is more objective and applicable in the modern context. This research is a library research with data sources in the form of books, journal articles, and Abu Zayd's works that are relevant to his hermeneutic theory. The analysis is carried out by placing the text of the Qur'an in a dialectical relationship between language, historical context, and social reality, without ignoring its normative dimension. The results of the study show that through Abu Zayd's approach, QS. An-Nahl verse 90 can be understood as a universal ethical message that affirms the importance of justice ('adl), virtue (ihsan), and social concern as the foundation of civilized society. The implications of this study confirm that critical hermeneutics can be an important instrument in the contextualization of the Qur'an in the modern era, while enriching contemporary interpretation methodologies to be more responsive to social dynamics, without losing the substance of the divine values contained in it.
