Konsep Tadabbur Al-Qur’an dalam Tafsir Khawatir Asy-Sya’rawi

This study examines Imam Asy-Sya‘rawi’s concept of tadabbur in his
Tafsîr Khawâtir, addressing the widespread belief that understanding
the Qur’an requires advanced scholarly authority and the societal
tendency to judge others rather than engage in self-reflection.. By
focusing on four key verses where the command for tadabbur appears
(An-Nisa’ 82, Al-Mu’minun 68, Muhammad 24, and Shad 29), this
paper outlines Asy-Sya‘rawi’s distinctive interpretive method that
links rational inquiry, spiritual receptivity, and social awareness.
Employing a qualitative-descriptive approach with a thematic tafsir
method, this library research draws upon Tafsîr Khawâtir Asy-Sya‘rawî
as the primary source, alongside secondary literature to contextualize
his views within broader Qur’anic exegesis. The study reveals that
tadabbur is not only a Qur’anic imperative but also as demonstrated in
Asy-Sya‘rawi’s emphasis on spiritual sincerity, daily reflection, and
ethical behavior. This study contributes to Qur’anic hermeneutics by
highlighting a synthesis of spirituality, rationality, and thematic
reflection in modern tafsir tradition.
