Dari Ummatan Wasathan Menuju Ukhuwah: Konstruksi Keseimbangan dan Persatuan Umat dalam Tafsir Nusantara Muhammadiyah, Nahdlatul Ulama, dan Persatuan Islam

Nusantara Qur’anic exegesis reflects the development of Islamic thought in Indonesia and its relationship with sociocultural contexts and the religious orientations of Islamic organizations. This study examines how Tafsir Nusantara articulates and strengthens the orientations of Muhammadiyah, Nahdlatul Ulama, and Persatuan Islam through Tafsir At-Tanwir, Tafsir Al-Ibriz, and Tafsir Al-Furqan, while identifying their similarities and differences. Employing qualitative library research, the study uses these three exegetical works as primary sources, supported by books, journal articles, theses, dissertations, and relevant online materials. Five selected Qur’anic verses are examined using descriptive, analytical, and comparative methods. The findings reveal that Tafsir At-Tanwir reflects Muhammadiyah’s emphasis on tajdid, ijtihad, and Progressive Islam. Tafsir Al-Ibriz represents Nahdlatul Ulama’s orientation through pesantren traditions, Javanese sociocultural values, and social harmony. Meanwhile, Tafsir Al-Furqan expresses Persatuan Islam’s commitment to returning to the Qur’an and Sunnah, strengthening religious arguments, renewal, and purification. Although these works share a commitment to explaining Qur’anic teachings, they differ in interpretive emphasis and engagement with religious traditions and local culture. These differences demonstrate how Qur’anic interpretation develops within distinct organizational intellectual frameworks. The study concludes that Tafsir Nusantara functions not merely as an interpretive product but also as a medium for articulating, differentiating, and reinforcing organizational religious orientations through contextual engagement with Qur’anic messages. This comparative perspective highlights the diversity of Indonesian Islamic exegetical traditions and their contributions to contemporary Islamic thought.
