METODE HERMENEUTIKA ALQURAN: ANALISIS TEORI BATAS MENURUT MUHAMMAD SHAHRUR - ABU SAHRIN

Abstract

This study aims to analyze Muhammad Shahrur's Thoughts regarding to hermeneutic method of interpreting Alquran. Specifically in the scope epistemological study of the hermeneutical method, Muhammad Shahrur used a theory we called “the boundary theory” to interpret Alquran. This study used a literature study with descriptive analysis and using a discourse analysis approach. The conclusion about Alquran Hermeneutics is an explanation of “The Boundary Theory”, based the minimum and maximum limits. The end result gave birth to an applicative theory namely nazhariyyah al-hudud (limit theory / boundary theory). The boundary theory of Muhammad Shahrur's is consists to be lower limit (al-hadd al-adna / minimal) and the upper limit (al-hadd al-a'la / maximum). In particular, Shahrur's research on several verses of boundary theory provides a clear understanding of the limits that may be exceeded and must not be exceeded. That is to say, there are verses that give a minimum limit signal, there are also verses that give maximum limits, and there are also verses which give a minimum and maximum limit at the same time
