Abstract

Zikr is one of the fundamental concepts in the Qur’an, holding a significant place in the development of humanity’s spiritual, intellectual and social consciousness. This article examines the term zikr and its derivatives in the Qur’an from the perspectives of semantics, exegesis and Sufism. Using the mawdhu’i (thematic) exegesis method and semantic analysis, this study finds that the word zikr, in its various morphological forms, is mentioned no fewer than 292 times in the Qur’an and encompasses a very broad spectrum of meanings: from remembering Allah, referring to the Qur’an itself, signifying a reminder or lesson, honour or glory, the act of prayer, divine revelation in general, to the dimension of spiritual therapy. This diversity of meanings demonstrates just how central the concept of zikir is to the structure of Islamic theology, spirituality, and epistemology. This study also examines the practical dimensions of zikr within the Sufi tradition and its connection to the health of the soul (nafs) based on contemporary Islamic psychological studies. The main conclusion of this article affirms that zikr is not merely a verbal ritual, but rather an existential orientation that permeates every dimension of a Muslim’s life. Abstrak Zikr merupakan salah satu konsep fundamental dalam Al-Qur’an yang memiliki kedudukan penting dalam pembentukan kesadaran spiritual, intelektual, dan sosial umat manusia. Artikel ini mengkaji term zikir (ذِكْر) beserta derivasinya dalam Al-Qur’an dari perspektif semantik, tafsir, dan tasawuf. Dengan menggunakan metode tafsir mawdhu’i (tematik) dan analisis semantik, kajian ini menemukan bahwa kata zikir dengan berbagai bentuk morfologisnya muncul sebanyak 292 kali dalam Al-Qur’an — tersebar pada lebih dari 280 ayat, dengan beberapa ayat mengandung lebih dari satu kemunculan derivasi akar ر-ك-ذ — dan mencakup spektrum makna yang sangat luas: dari mengingat Allah, merujuk kepada Al-Qur’an itu sendiri, bermakna peringatan/pelajaran, kehormatan/kemuliaan, ibadah shalat, wahyu ilahi secara umum, hingga dimensi terapi spiritual. Keberagaman makna ini menunjukkan betapa sentralnya konsep zikir dalam bangunan teologi, spiritualitas, dan epistemologi Islam. Penelitian ini juga menelaah dimensi praktis zikir dalam tradisi sufisme dan kaitannya dengan kesehatan jiwa (nafs) berdasarkan kajian psikologi Islam kontemporer. Kesimpulan utama artikel ini menegaskan bahwa zikir bukan sekadar ritual verbal, melainkan sebuah orientasi eksistensial yang menembus seluruh dimensi kehidupan seorang Muslim.

Review

The article, "ZIKR SEBAGAI KONSEP MULTIDIMENSIONAL DALAM AL-QURAN: STUDI TAFSIR TEMATIK," presents a compelling and comprehensive exploration of *zikr* within the Qur'an. The authors effectively establish *zikr* as a foundational concept vital for the development of human spiritual, intellectual, and social consciousness. Employing a rigorous methodology that combines *tafsir mawdhu'i* (thematic exegesis) with semantic analysis, the study meticulously investigates the term and its derivatives. A salient initial finding is the remarkable frequency of *zikr* and its morphological forms, appearing an impressive 292 times, which immediately highlights its pervasive significance in the Islamic holy text. The primary contribution of this research lies in its meticulous elucidation of the diverse meanings encompassed by *zikr*. The abstract reveals a broad semantic spectrum, from the remembrance of Allah and referring to the Qur'an itself, to signifying a reminder, honor, the act of prayer, divine revelation, and even spiritual therapy. This detailed semantic mapping robustly demonstrates the central role *zikr* occupies within the core frameworks of Islamic theology, spirituality, and epistemology. Furthermore, the article commendably extends its scope beyond textual analysis by delving into the practical dimensions of *zikr* within the Sufi tradition and its profound connection to soul health (*nafs*), drawing insights from contemporary Islamic psychological studies, thereby offering a valuable interdisciplinary perspective. The study culminates in a powerful affirmation that *zikr* transcends its common perception as merely a verbal ritual, instead representing a deep "existential orientation" that permeates every facet of a Muslim's life. This conclusion is strongly substantiated by the extensive range of meanings and practical applications uncovered throughout the research. Overall, this article appears to be a highly significant and timely contribution to Qur'anic studies, Sufism, and potentially Islamic psychology. Its rigorous methodological approach and the depth of its analysis promise to offer invaluable insights into a concept often narrowly understood, thereby enriching academic discourse and informing spiritual practice.
