Bahasa Ilmiah Sebagai Sarana Berpikir Dalam Studi Islam Serta Implementasinya Pada Interpretasi Teks-teks Al-Qur’an

Abstract

This article aims to discuss the role of language as a scientific tool in Islamic Studies, focusing on the exploration of means of interpreting the texts of the Qur'an. As the sacred book of Islam, the Qur'an possesses profound meanings that require deep understanding and careful interpretation. In this article, one of the scholarly methods used in the interpretation of Qur'anic texts as religious language, namely scientific language, is elaborated. This research is significant in presenting the texts of the Qur'an, which constitute religious language, as objects of study in scientific thinking. To achieve this goal, library-based research is utilized with a descriptive-analytical method, which involves describing and analyzing the data found using a qualitative approach. Several aspects are outlined, including Islam as the object of study, language as a means of scientific thinking, and scientific language as a means of interpreting the texts of the Qur'an (religious language). The results of this research find that there are two methods commonly used in interpreting the Qur'an from a linguistic perspective: semantics and hermeneutics. The interpretations derived from both methods are inseparable from the basic meanings and historical context of the texts, as well as the surrounding context of the interpreted texts. Despite their methodological differences in interpreting the Qur'anic texts, both methods employ scientific language that maintains the relationship between text and context, thus producing contextual and applicable interpretations in the modern-contemporary era.
