FORGIVENESS IN THE QUR’ĀN ACCORDING TO WAHBAH AL-ZUḤAYLĪ IN TAFSĪR AL-MUNĪR (A THEMATIC STUDY)
Abstract
The term forgiveness is carries the meaning of obtaining something, referring to
both requesting and granting forgiveness with the intent of acquiring something from the
other party. In a religious context, forgiveness also signifies absolution of sins, the removal
of punishment, and the act of pardoning mistakes. However, a debate arises when some
scholars equate forgiveness with the concept of sincerity or letting go of grievances.
Therefore, this study an objective to examine the concept of forgiveness in the Qur’an from
the perspective of Wahbah al-Zuḥaylī in Tafsīr al-Munīr, which is known for its Sufi
oriented approach.
This research adopts a thematic approach to analyzing Qur’anic verses related to
forgiveness. It is a library research study, with Tafsīr al-Munīr serving as the primary data
source. The study employs a descriptive method to explain the interpretation of the
relevant verses in detail, and an analytical method to break down the data for clearer
comprehension.
The findings reveal that, according to Wahbah al-Zuḥaylī , the concept of
forgiveness in the Qur’an extends beyond mere absolution of mistakes; it also embodies
compassion and spiritual closeness to Allah. His interpretation highlights that forgiveness
in Islam is transformative, fostering positive change for both individuals and society.
Furthermore, the study identifies a strong correlation between the Qur’anic concept of
forgiveness and Sufi values, such as patience, sincerity, and benevolence.
However, this study is far from perfect and has certain limitations in its scope and
depth of analysis. Further research is needed to explore this topic more comprehensively,
incorporating different exegetical perspectives and contemporary interpretations.
The researcher hopes that this research can contributes to the treasures of Islamic
scholarship, especially in understanding the concept of forgiveness in the Qur'an, and
become a reference for further research in the future for Muslims and all mankind.
