Telaah Karakteristik Tafsir Arab-Pegon Al-Ibriz
Every time, a dialogue between the Quran and its readers happens; and<br />the long period process of such understanding has resulted thousands and<br />tons of interpretation books (kitab tafsir). One of them is Tafsir al-Ibriz by<br />K.H. Bisri Mustofa and is written in Arab Pegon (Javanese language and<br />Arabic letters). This article is discussing the characteristics of the book and<br />its method. Using descriptive analytic and hermeneutic interpretative, the study<br />goes to the conclusion that the book is organized according to tahlili method,<br />namely a method which explains Quranic verses words after words. The<br />meaning of the words is presented in makna gandul system (the meaning is<br />written under the words) while the interpretation and explanation (tafsir) is<br />written out of the main body text. In terms of characteristics, the way the Tafsir al-Ibriz explains the meaning of the Quran is considered as simple.<br />The approach applied in the book doesn’t tend to a particular interpretation style because it combines some different styles according to the contextual meanings; and this book belongs to traditional and ma’tsur category.
