DERADIKALISASI ATAS PEMAHAMAN AL-QUR’AN (ANALISIS SEMANTIK DAN KONTEKS HISTORIS TERHADAP AYAT-AYAT TENTANG JIH?D DAN QIT?L)

Abstract

A mistake in understanding these verses about jih?d and qit?l can trigger the emergence of various radical ideas. One of the efforts to deradicalize such an understanding is to study and analyze the verses of jihad and qital with semantic analysis and historical context. Semantic analysis is used to analyze variations and contexts of word meanings from key words in the Qur'an. The keywords analyzed in this study are the terms "al-qit?l and al-jih?d". Based on this analysis, in the Mecca period, neither of these two terms were synonymous with war or violence. In addition, these two terms experienced several shifts in meaning when entering the Medina period. Meanwhile, the historical context is used to trace various events that accompanied the revelation of the Qur'an. The decline of these verses was motivated by the negative behavior of polytheists towards Muslims which was carried out continuously. The revelation of these verses is the last alternative to defend against the attacks of the polytheists. This type of research is library research, while the main reference sources are verses about jih?d and qit?l.
