- Abstract
This study focused on Syamsuddin’s interpretation of aqidah (theology) verses from an esoteric perspective. The term “esoteric approach” resurfaced in contemporary times, as Syamsuddin as-Sumatrani, a 16th-century Sufi scholar and a student of Hamzah Fansuri from Aceh, was known for his Sufistic inclinations. The objective of this study was to delve into the esoteric meaning of a specific verse in Surah Al-Hadid, verse 3, as understood by Syamsuddin and other prominent Indonesian Sufi figures of his era, utilizing an esoteric approach to Quranic interpretation. The research methodology employed was documentation, specifically library-based research. A qualitative approach was adopted, with data collection involving document analysis. The data was subsequently analyzed through content analysis, leading to the formulation of the esoteric concepts found within the verse. This study aimed to uncover essential aspects of the theological meaning within an esoteric framework, employing descriptive rules to ensure the generation of universal outcomes.
