This study examines the contextual interpretation method developed by Abdullah Saeed, a progressive Muslim scholar who embraces a modern approach to understanding the Qur'an. This approach was created in response to textual interpretation methods in understanding the meaning of Qur'anic verses. Saeed emphasizes the importance of understanding revelation in its social and historical context so that Islamic teachings remain relevant to the times. One of the main concepts in this interpretation method is the hierarchy of values, which distinguishes between immutable and mutable teachings. This research uses a qualitative approach with a focus on literature, analyzing the works of Abdullah Saeed and previous research. The results of the research show that Saeed's Contextual Exegesis method is able to provide a more flexible understanding of the Qur'anic text, especially in verses related to law and ethics. One example of its application is the interpretation of the verse on the hijab in QS. Al-Ahzab: 59, where Saeed emphasizes that the command to wear the hijab has a specific social context that must be understood before being applied in modern life. This approach has broad implications for contemporary Islamic studies, particularly in addressing various social and legal challenges. However, this method has also faced criticism from conservative circles who argue that contextualization may obscure the original meaning of the Qur'an. Therefore, further research is still needed to explore its application in various aspects of Islamic life.

Q.S. Luqman verse 27 is one of the Qur’anic verses that employs tashbih (simile) to illustrate the vastness of Allah’s knowledge and His divine majesty. The verse states that if all the trees on earth were pens and the seas were ink, they would not suffice to write the words of Allah. This study aims to analyze the structure of the simile in this verse and uncover its spiritual dimension through a Sufi interpretive approach. Using a qualitative library research method, primary sources include Sufi Qur’anic commentaries such as those of Al-Qushayri. The analysis reveals that the symbols of pens, ink, and the sea not only represent the boundlessness of divine knowledge but also convey esoteric meanings about the relationship between the servant and the Divine. Sufi interpretation emphasizes that Allah’s majesty cannot be grasped by reason alone, but rather through spiritual unveiling (kashf) and ma‘rifah (gnosis). Thus, the Sufi perspective enriches the understanding of this verse—not only literally, but also as a spiritual call toward deeper awareness of Allah’s infinite power and presence.

Corruption is an issue that has received attention in the Qur'an, although it has not been studied in depth in terms of legal aspects and scientific research. Some verses of the Qur'an contain concepts related to corruption, but have not yet become the main reference in Islamic legal studies. This study aims to reveal the meaning of corruption in the Qur'an through the analysis of relevant verses and the interpretations of the mufassirs in various books of interpretation. The focus of this study is to explore the Qur'anic perspective on corrupt practices by referring to the interpretations of the scholars of tafsir. In the Qur'an, some terms that approach the meaning of corruption include robbery (hirabah), theft (as-sariqah), treason (al-ghulul), and bribery (as-suht).

This study reveals a significant correlation between the phenomenon of underwater rivers discussed in modern oceanographic studies and the scientific signs contained in Surah Al-Furqan verse 53. This verse not only illustrates the difference between two types of water, but also represents physical phenomena that can be explained scientifically, such as the existence of halocline layers and hydrogen sulfide compounds that appear in the transition area between fresh water and sea water. Both classical and contemporary interpretations show that the Qur'an implicitly conveys instructions regarding natural realities that can only be understood through a contemporary scientific approach. The scientific interpretation approach opens up integrative opportunities between divine revelation and empirical knowledge, which not only strengthens the dimension of faith but also stimulates rational, scientific, and spiritual thinking in exploring the meaning of the kauniyah verses. Thus, this study emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in understanding the Qur'an in a way that is relevant to the dynamics of science and the challenges of the times.  

The Book of Psalms is an important part of the Old Testament worship and theology tradition, reflecting the dynamics of human emotions in their relationship with God. Psalms 146-150 specifically highlight aspects of prayer and praise as expressions of joyful and hopeful faith.

With an exegetical and biblical theological approach, this study finds that Psalms 146-150 form a climax in the structure of the Book of Psalms, emphasizing the supremacy of praise as the primary form of worship. In addition, this study highlights how the emotional aspects of these psalms function not only as a reflection of individual faith experiences but also as a collective appeal for the community of believers. Thus, Psalms 146-150 emphasize that prayer and praise are the primary means of expressing the relationship between humans and God, while inspiring a spiritual life centered on worship.

The phenomenon of online gambling has become a serious concern in Indonesia, as it provides very easy access for all groups, including teenagers and underage children, to engage in gambling practices. This study aims to examine and analyze the punishment for online gambling offenders from two perspectives: Indonesian positive law and Islamic law. Under national law, Article 303 of the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP) regulates criminal sanctions for gambling in any form, including digital formats. Meanwhile, Islamic law strictly prohibits all forms of gambling due to elements of speculation (gharar), one-sided loss, and its contradiction with moral values.
