SOCIAL APPROACH IN TAFSIR AL-QUR’AN PERSPECTIVE OF HASAN HANAFI

Abstract

The aim of this article is to discuss the social approach in interpreting the Qur’an by Hasan Hanafi. As a result, Hanafi gave a new interpretation theory in interpreting the Quran which he formulated through a social approach called “social hermeneutics”, or more precisely the method of thematic interpretation (at-Tafsir al-maudhû’î). Hanafi also added by using this method that a mufassir who wants to close to the meaning of the Quran not only deduce the meaning of the text, but also induce the meaning of reality into the text.
