Pemaknaan Ghulul Dalam Al-Qur’an Menurut Pandangan Tafsir Klasik Dan Modern
Abstract
Interpretation as a tool for understanding the Qur'an has developed and progressed in every period. Interpretation born according to the needs of the times. In this modern era, interpretation as an interpretation of the verses of the Qur'an is used by Muslim scholars to relate it to current issues. One of the interesting discussions is the meaning of ghulul and relation to corruption. In language, ghulul comes from the word ghalla-yaghullu-ghallan-waghulûlan which has the basic meaning of khâna (betrayal). In the Qur'an ghulul with its various deviations is repeated 13 times. All of them are in the form of verbs and root words, 9 times in the form of masdhar and 2 times in the form of fi'il mudhari` and 2 times in the form of fi`il madhi. Today, the form of betrayal is so severe that it occurs in society in various ways and patterns. This study uses a qualitative method with a literary approach by rarely comparing both classical and modern interpreters in order to understand the meaning of ghulul from both. So that it can be understood that the meaning of ghulul, according to classical and modern commentators, is not only related to spoils of war but can also be interpreted as corruption nowadays because they have betrayed the country or abused their position.
