Kajian Tafsir Ayat-Ayat Al-Qur’an tentang Sholat dalam Perspektif Kontemporer: Pendekatan Mixed Methods

Abstract

This study investigates the contemporary interpretation of Qur’anic verses related to ṣalāh (Islamic prayer) using a mixed-methods approach combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. The Qur’an positions ṣalāh as a central ritual in Islamic devotion and social ethics, yet modern dynamics—technological, socio-political, and educational—necessitate a renewed interpretative framework. Through thematic content analysis of major classical and modern tafsīr works and field surveys among Islamic scholars and university students in Indonesia, this study explores how contemporary contexts influence the understanding and application of verses on ṣalāh. Findings reveal a shift toward contextualized interpretations emphasizing spirituality, adaptability in practice (e.g., online congregational prayers during pandemics), and moral integrity over ritual formality. The research contributes to the discourse on Qur’anic hermeneutics by demonstrating how dynamic interpretative methodologies can preserve the sacred essence of worship while responding to current realities. The study concludes by proposing a hybrid hermeneutical model integrating maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah with socio-cultural realities to ensure the relevance of Qur’anic guidance for Muslim life today.
