Kerwanto Kerwanto

Abstract


This article is anattempt to explain the episteme setting and the foundations of the diversity of theories about esoteric interpretation of the Qur’an (ta’wÄ«l al-qurÄn). Such studies are important because there is still a misunderstanding of the meaning and truth of ta’wÄ«l al-qurÄn. Through this article, the author wants to map discourse, look for aspects of the similarities and differences in theories about al-ta’wÄ«l. Next, analyze the implications of the theory for the application of ta’wÄ«l al-qurÄn. In addition, to exposing differences in theoretical views, this article is also intended to show the meeting point between the views of the interpreters of the Sunnah and Shi'ite, as well as between the exoteric scholars (ahl SharÄ«ah) and esoteric scholars (ahl ṬarÄ«qah) about the nature of ta’wÄ«l al-qurÄn. The discussion begins with a review of the definition and basic meaning of al-ta’wÄ«l in terms of etymology and terminology. Then, the author invites the reader to examine the views of the commentators related to the requirements, classification, patterns of relation, methods and steps toward ta’wÄ«l al-QurÄn. In this article, the author shows the agreement that the exoteric meaning (ma’nÄ zhÄhir) as the basic foundation of ta’wÄ«l, in addition to the other differents according to how they understand the Qur’an and its nature meaning. It is explained also influence the classification and pattern of relation –chosen by commentators- on how the methods and steps work toward ta’wÄ«l al-QurÄn
