TARĪQAH PERSPEKTIF AL-QUR’AN (KAJIAN TAFSIR MAUḌŪ’Ī)

Abstract

The research conducted is a form of library research that explores and analyzes the literature on ṭarīqah based on the steps of mauḍū'ī interpretation. The objectives of this study are 1) To know the nature of ṭarīqah in the Qur'an; and 2) To know the form of ṭarīqah in the Qur'an. The study results indicate that in the Qur'an, ṭarīqah is defined as a path, both in its fundamental and symbolic meanings, representing the path taken in life, encompassing thoughts, beliefs, schools of thought, temperament, behavior, and habits. The term ṭarīqah, in its various forms of derivation, is mentioned 11 times in the Qur'an, including in QS al-Nisā'/4: 168, QS al-Nisā'/4: 169, QS al-Mu'minūn/23: 17, QS Ṭāha/20: 63, QS Ṭāha/20: 77, QS Ṭāha/20: 104, QS al-Aḥqāf/46: 30, QS al-Jinn/72: 11, QS al-Jinn/72: 16, QS al-Tāriq/86: 1, and QS al-Tāriq/86: 2. The term ṭarīqah is used in four forms in the Qur'an, including ṭarīqah, ṭarīq, ṭarāiq, and ṭāriq. The meanings of ṭarīqah in the Qur'an include the path (both real and symbolic), customs and habits, thoughts, beliefs and religions, sects or factions, and celestial bodies.
