PENAFSIRAN AL-QUR’AN DENGAN FILSAFAT: TELAAH KITAB MAFĀTĪḤ AL-GHAYB FAKHRUDDĪN AL-RĀZĪ

Qur’anic exegesis has existed since the life of the Prophet Muhammad. It is divided into two forms, i.e. bi alma’thūr and bi al-ra’y. Tafsir Falsafi is part of tafsir bil ra’y, which is built upon reasoning when interpreting the Qur’an. Some scholars reject this interpretation, but some accept it. Tafsir Falsafi is to interpret the Qur’anby using philosophical approaches. Among the scholars are al-Farābī, Ibn Sīnā, Ikhwān al-Ṣafā, and Fakhruddīn al-Rāzī. This paper will study Fakhruddīn al-Rāzī, one of the most leading scholars in the subject, by focusing on his great work the Mafātīḥ al-Ghayb. This paper will examine a method of interpretation of al-Rāzī, which is taḥlīlī.Keywords: Tafsir Falsafi, Mafātīḥ al-Ghayb, Fakhruddīn al-Rāzī
