It aims to explore the epistemological structure of tafsīr (interpretation), ta'wīl (explanation of inner meaning), and hermeneutics, dissect the strengths and weaknesses of each, and propose a creative synthesis between these three elements. By using the comparative method, this research found that tafsīr tends to have an objective ethic guided by a linguistic approach (dalālah luġawiyah). On the other hand, ta'wīl tends to prioritize subjective personalities based on an intuitive and rational approach. Meanwhile, hermeneutics prioritizes intersubjectivity using historical, sociological, and psychological approaches. The argument based on the source of knowledge of tafsīr is text, while according to ta'wīl it is the "inner experience". However, the source of knowledge for hermeneutics is the world of the text, author, and the reader. Due to their advantages and disadvantages, this research recommends using an integrated approach for understanding the text (al-Quran). Tafsīr is used to explore external aspects of the text (language). Hermeneutics helps to understand the reader's contemporary situation with all the prejudices, assessments, and traditions surrounding it. At the same time, ta'wīl is necessary to relate the results obtained to the methods of interpretation and hermeneutics. In this case, the task of ta'wīl is to find the "deepest meaning" that connects the objectivity of tafsīr and the subjectivity of hermeneutics. This "deepest meaning" can be a moral idea ʿillat al-ḥukm (ratio legit) or Sharia goals (maqāshid al-sharīʿah).

According to Nasr’s thought human is not dealing with the concept of any other creation of god like animal, thress or miniral. For human developing in the world, human being is ceated deferrently of any aspects of things. By using the comparison method analysis of ideas contained in the literature this article aims to direct the human will for actions in their life and with the method of interpreting of the hermeneutics ways of these ideas the researcher entrenched searching for sources relevant to the topic of this study. From the results of this study it was concluded that humans do not merely exist based on their material form or physical form, but humans who exist consciously of their existence are human nature according to the flows of existentialism. The human existence surely determinated by go...

Ian G Barber describes this relationship between science and religion in terms of conflict, independence, dialogue, and integration. The theme of the relationship between science and religion is not only a hot topic in the Western world, but it has also attracted the attention of several contemporary Muslim thinkers. Unfortunately, in the discourse of Islamic sciences, the object of debate is more on criticism of secular science so that it needs to be Islamized, whereas, at the same time, Islamic sciences also have serious internal problems. Using qualitative research methods by exploring authoritative text sources, this paper aims to offer a balanced perspective in viewing Western science and Islamic science. This research shows that both Western science and Islamic science have weaknesses. Western science is seen as secular science so that it loses its divine vision, while Islamic science is ...

One of the leading exponents of philosophical hermeneutics is Hans-Georg Gadamer. Gadamer explained that the prejudice and historical aspects that accept the dialectics of the past, the present and the future are crucial in understanding religious language related to COVID-19. This concept then underlies Gadamer’s thoughts on the idea of the fusion of horizon. This idea indicates that understanding religious texts must be done by bringing together the text’s horizon, author and reader to reach a meaningful knowledge in interpreting a text. Suppose this view applies in understanding religious language related to the COVID-19 pandemic protocol. In that case, interpreter must consider all dimensions associated with the social situation to find a substantive meaning and a complete understanding of all dimensions related to the interpreter’s current position to apply th...
