Kajian tafsir tematik di Malaysia: Sorotan literatur tahun 2019 sehingga 2023

Abstract

Thematic exegesis is an interpretive approach to interpreting the Quran thematically by collecting relevant Quranic verses related to the studied theme. This interpretive approach has gained recognition among Quranic scholars due to its methodological dimensions and unique advantages in delving into the contents of the Quran. Moreover, thematic exegesis represents a contemporary interpretative method that can elevate the Quran as a reference for today's modern society. However, extensive research is lacking in compiling and providing a literature review regarding thematic exegesis studies. This article aims to highlight and present a literature review of past studies related to thematic exegesis in Malaysia. The article's sources were obtained from the WoS, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases covering 2019 to 2023. The gathered data was filtered based on publication year, material type (articles), and specific studies within Malaysia. The study's findings highlighted four themes of thematic exegesis research in Malaysia: the definition of thematic exegesis, its history and development, types and methods, and the implementation of these methods in Quranic studies.
