THE TAḤLĪLĪ METHOD IN THE INTERPRETATION OF THE QUR'ĀN

This study aims to analyze the method of taḥlīlī (analysis) in the interpretation of the Qur'ān. In particular, this study discusses several things, namely the taḥlīlī method in terms of etymology and terminology, the dynamics and development of the taḥlīlī method, and examples of interpretation, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of the taḥlīlī method. The focus of this research is important to analyze because interpreting the Qur'ān requires a method. This research uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach. The data is taken through the serious reading of various interpretations of literature. Books, journal articles, and other relevant research are used as research sources. This study found that the use of the taḥlīlī method in interpreting the Qur'ān began after the ijmālī method, or before the muqaran and maudhu'i methods were commonly used. The taḥlīlī method assists the Mufassir in studying and making interpretations of the Qur'anic texts based on the order of the Qur'anic verses in the mushaf viewed from various angles. The taḥlīlī method is divided by scholars into several types, namely the interpretation of bi al-ma'tsūr, bi al-ra'yi, shūfī, fiqhī, falsafī, 'ilmī, and adabī al-ijtimā'ī. All forms of this method have their own characteristics. As a method of interpretation, the taḥlīlī method has a broad scope of discussion and contains various ideas, making it superior. Nevertheless, the taḥlīlī method is not without its drawbacks such as making the Qur'anic instructions partial, its interpretation sometimes considered subjective, and the inclusion of israiliyat thinking
