Abstract

This article will discuss contemporary Indonesian commentator Bisri Mustofa and his book entitled al-Ibrīz li maʿrifati tafsīr al-Qurʾān al-Azīz. The opus is a Javanese interpretation of the Qur’ān, as Javanese is Indonesia’s most widely spoken regional language. Bisri Mustofa is one of the most prolific commentators among Indonesian theologians. Numerous opuses were composed in the tens, and some are being studied now. Bisri Mustofa’s opuses include several disciplines, including the Qur’ān, Hadith, Arabic Language Science, Jurisprudence, Ethics, and History. al-Ibrīz is one of his works researched extensively in interpretation. It is widely studied in different places of Java, both by the average community and by scholars. The opus of al-Ibrīz is a significant commentary opus as it aims to explain the sacred verses of the Qur’ān to the Indonesian people in Javanese using Arabic script. By examining al-Ibrīz, we hope to learn about the description of the progression of contemporary interpretation in Southeast Asia, particularly in Indonesia and Java. This research will focus primarily on Bisri Mustofa's al-Ibriz in terms of methods. To gain a general understanding of the author and his thought tendencies, the author's biography, as well as details about his works, will be provided. In addition, al-Ibriz will be analyzed in terms of its historical background, sources of tafsir, characteristics of interpretation, as well as the various methods of interpretation, and interpretation examples it includes.
