Prof. TM Hasbi Ash-Shiddiqi and His Views on Nasikh and Mansukh A Review of God's Absolutism and Human Aspects (Study of Interpretation of Surah Al-Baqarah : 106)

Abstract

This paper is intended to reveal the attitude of Prof. TM Hasbi Ash-Shiddiqi's thoughts on the problems of Nasikh and Mansukh in the Qur'an. With an analytical descriptive method, the writer traces Prof Hasbi's attitude through his interpretation of QS Al-Baqarah: 106. Although with full consciousness he states that the majority of scholars' affirm the existence of nasikh and mansukh in the Qur'an, but he firmly chooses nonmainstream, namely the opinion of Abu Muslim AlAshfahani and Muhammad Abduh who negated it, with the argument that it is impossible for Allah-the notes bene to know what will happen doing things that only human beings can do, namely revision, reduction and apology. The word 'ayat (verse of Qur’an) ' in the letter is interpreted as a miracle. With context analysis, the writer also analyzed the background of Prof Hasbi who dared to choose a very unpopular opinion, both in the realm of Indonesia and the Islamic world in general. In social psychology, he was used to thoughts outside the mainstream. Apparently he was enjoying it and did not hesitate to publish it to audiences. Rajam is not Islamic law, thieves who are not professions are not subjected to hand-cutting law, Friday prayers are not mandatory are some examples other than the negation of the nasikh and mansukh in the Qur'an. Keywords—Hasbi; nasikh mansukh; miracles; verse.
