INCLUSIVE SPIRIT IN THE HOLY QURAN
(Critical Study on Inclusive Verses in Tafsir al-Mizan by Thabathaba'i)
ABSTRAC
Key word : Inclusiveness,Exclusiveness, Religion
Inclusiveness is interpreted as an
understanding meaning which is said that a truth is owned by his religion , but
truth
also can be existed in another religion. So safety is not only in a certain
group, but it can be reached by another group with only faith in God,the doomsday followed by good working. In the three criteria ,it could build a
process of life peacefully without any justification to the other group that caould create a process of peaceful life without justification against other
groups which is assumed that they are really wrong. Due to the fact, Allah does not
need the name of some groups, such as Islam, Christians, or Jews.
In
this research, the author uses Thabathaba’i interpretation and the question
research is what inclusive spirit according to Thabathaba’i in Tafsir
Al-Mizan is and what the
relevance of inclusive spirit in the Holy Qur’an
to create an ideal society is. The method that the author uses is
qualitative method and the studies to be conducted are library
research.
Thabathaba’i gave limitation about term of “Good Work”, it has showed that he
is exclusive. Because it was related with faith and believe in religion aspect. But
in social aspect, he has still kept peacful life in social interaction among
religionist. So this is inclusive spirit that Thabathaba’i showed in Al-Mīzān fī Tafsīr al-Qur`an.
There
are two possiblity that the author founds in analyzing Thabathaba’i
interpretation. First, the beginning he was inclusive and then he will be
exclusive. Second, the beginning he was exclusive itself. But in his self,
he want to make a peaceful in religionist life with interpreting inclusive
verses and support it.
What has been
expalined above was a few explanation about inclusive spirit in Thabathaba’i’s
view in order to create a peace life inter-religionist. Because, in fact, most
of a war and a conflict is happened caused by religion problem.
