| Summary: | This paper discusses the general historical development of Qur’ānic exegesis in Malaysia since
its independence until today via two perspectives, namely the historical development of Qur’ānic exegesis
and recent improvements of Qur’ānic exegesis. It applies two methodologies, historical to collect
relevant data and analysis to scrutinize the collected data. The paper concludes that the Qur’ānic exegesis
in Malaysia owes its birth and development from earlier Muslim exegesis, particularly those written in
Arabic. The contributions of Indonesian scholars has continued until today through writings and public
lectures. Although most of the work is primarily translations which developed from prior exegetical
pioneers, they offered innovative additions especially through tafsīrs that apply a more wholesome
societal approach. |
