Kuriositas dalam Al-Qur’an: Studi Qur’an Tematik dengan Pendekatan Grounded Theory

Introduction

Kuriositas dalam al-qur’an: studi qur’an tematik dengan pendekatan grounded theory. Studi ini menganalisis kuriositas dalam Al-Qur'an menggunakan Grounded Theory. Mengungkap tujuh bentuk rasa ingin tahu yang mengilhami pencarian ilmu, pengetahuan, keimanan, dan pemahaman diri.

Abstract

Salah satu komponen penting dalam pencarian ilmu adalah rasa ingin tahu, yang terkadang dikenal sebagai keinginan untuk belajar. Gagasan bahwa manusia terdorong untuk bertanya, berpikir, mengamati, dan mencari pemahaman benar-benar hadir dalam banyak kisah Al-Qur'an, meskipun hal itu jarang menjadi subjek studi tafsir Al-Qur'an. Melalui pendekatan tematik (maud'i) dengan menggunakan metodologi Grounded theory, studi ini meneliti berbagai cara rasa ingin tahu diekspresikan dalam Al-Qur'an. Ayat-ayat Al-Qur'an yang berisi arahan untuk berpikir, membaca, dan bertanya, serta peristiwa yang memiliki makna pencarian, seperti kisah para malaikat dan Nabi Adam, perenungan tentang penciptaan, dan perjalanan spiritual Nabi Musa dengan Khidr, merupakan sumber data utama. Prosedur analisis terdiri dari tiga fase: pengkodean terbuka, pengkodean aksial, dan pengkodean selektif. Menurut studi ini, ada tujuh bentuk utama rasa ingin tahu dalam Al-Qur'an: eksistensial, observasional, empiris, ilmiah, akademis, spiritual, dan ketekunan optimis. Menurut penemuan ini, Al-Qur'an tidak hanya memberikan arahan normatif, tetapi juga mengilhami manusia untuk secara aktif mencari makna melalui akal, indra, dan dimensi spiritual. Rasa ingin tahu dalam Al-Qur'an bukanlah indikasi kebingungan; sebaliknya, itu adalah cara untuk memperoleh pengetahuan, keimanan, dan pemahaman yang lebih dalam tentang diri sendiri.

Review

The submitted manuscript, "Kuriositas dalam Al-Qur’an: Studi Qur’an Tematik dengan Pendekatan Grounded Theory," presents a highly engaging and timely investigation into a crucial yet under-explored aspect of Islamic thought: curiosity (rasa ingin tahu). The abstract effectively highlights the foundational role of curiosity in the pursuit of knowledge, a concept often implicitly present but rarely explicitly scrutinized within Qur'anic exegesis. This study's thematic approach to an often-overlooked dimension of human cognition within the sacred text promises to offer significant new insights, moving beyond traditional normative interpretations to explore the epistemological and spiritual drivers embedded within the Qur'an itself. Methodologically, the paper proposes an innovative combination of a thematic (maud'i) Qur'anic study with Grounded Theory, a particularly apt choice for developing a conceptual framework from the Qur'anic text without imposing a priori categories. The abstract clearly outlines the rigorous analytical process, including open, axial, and selective coding, applied to a rich dataset comprising verses on thinking, reading, and questioning, alongside illustrative narratives such as those of Adam and the angels, reflections on creation, and the spiritual journey of Moses with Khidr. The identification of seven distinct forms of curiosity—existential, observational, empirical, scientific, academic, spiritual, and optimistic perseverance—is a compelling and original finding. This detailed categorization demonstrates the depth of analysis and offers a nuanced understanding of how the Qur'an not only directs but also actively inspires intellectual and spiritual inquiry. The findings of this study significantly advance our understanding of the Qur'an's pedagogical and inspirational dimensions, portraying curiosity not as confusion but as a vital conduit for acquiring knowledge, strengthening faith, and fostering self-awareness. The implications extend beyond academic tafsir, offering valuable insights for Islamic education, character development, and contemporary discussions on science and religion. While the abstract provides a robust overview of the study's scope and methodology, further elaboration on the unique contributions of each of the seven forms identified could enrich the discussion. Overall, this manuscript represents a commendable scholarly endeavor that makes a substantial contribution to Qur'anic studies, meriting publication and further engagement from the academic community.
