Model Tafsir Al-Qur\u27ān MTA (Majelis Tafsir Al-Qur\u27ān) di antara Tafsir dan Ideologi

This article deals with the Qur\u27ānic interpretation offered by Majelis Tafsir Al-Qur\u27ān (MTA). It tries to answer several questions: to what extent MTA has interpreted the Qur\u27ān, how it fits (or does not fit) with its ambitious claim that it does not offer any kind of Qur\u27ānic interpretation, and how this interpretation demonstrates the development of MTA\u27s thought in understanding the Qur\u27ān. This article reaches the conclusion that, although MTA claims not to interpret the Qur\u27ān, in fact it has made such a certain degree of interpretation of the Qur\u27ān. Its puritan ideology seems to have played a considerable role in colouring its Qur\u27ānic understanding. As a result, the claim that it does not interpret the Qur\u27ānis not reliable and even tendentious.DOI: 10.15408/ref.v13i2.89
