ANALISIS METODOLOGIS-FILOSOFIS KONSEP TAFSIR JAMÂL AL-BANNÂ

Methodological and Philosophical Analysis of Jamâl al-Bannâ’s Qur’anic Exegesis. This article seeks to analyze the method of Jamâl al-Bannâ’s interpretation. Beginning with an attempt to deconstruct the interpretation of the results of all classicalmufassir, Jamâl al-Bannâ proposed three stages in the interpretation of the Qur’an that include such approaches as stylistic, psychological, and rational method. All three approaches are utilized hierarchically in order to come to an interpretation. At the rational stage of Qur’anic exegesis, Jamâl al-Bannâ didn’t recommend a specific method or limit the science to a particular method. He refused that one particular method has the warranty as the only interpretation to seek the way for the truth, because the Qur’an should not be restricted. In the sociology of knowledge, his thinking is similar to that of Paul K. Feyerabend’s Against Method. According to Jamâl al-Bannâ, human beings are very autonomous and free to interpret the Qur’an as long as it is in line with the principles of humanistic and universal values as enshrined there in.
