Abstract

The study of epistemology belongs not only to philosophy but also to all sciences, including interpretation (tafsir). Research on the epistemology of interpretation has several applications, including determining the development of interpretation in each era so that an evaluation can be performed. The purpose of this research is to reveal the epistemology of Hamim Ilyas’ interpretation in his book Fikih Akbar. Although this book is not a book of commentaries written specifically for the Quran, it does contain the author’s interpretation of the Quran. Therefore, the researchers attempted to investigate the epistemology of Hamim Ilyas’ interpretation. This research aims to determine the method of interpretation and the validity of Hamim Ilyas’ interpretation. The following conclusions were drawn from this research. Hamim Ilyas interpreted the Qur’an using six methods: bil ma’tsur/manhaj al-naqli, bil ra’yi/al-manhaj al-’aqli, pure interpretation/al-manhaj al-lughawi, scientific interpretation/al-manhaj al-’ilmi, sufistic interpretation/al-manhaj al-isyari, and comparative interpretation/al-manhaj al-muqarin. However, not all of the aforementioned methods were used in his interpretation at all times. He only used an interpretation method that supported his interpretation’s purpose. In terms of the interpretation’s validity, Hamim Ilyas adhered to three truth theories in his interpretation: coherence theory, correspondence theory, and pragmatism theory.
