شبهات المستشرقين في طعن التفسير بالمأثور والرد عليها: جولد زيهر أُنموذجاً

This study seeks to examine the ambiguity of orientalist, specifically the Jewish-Hungarian Ignaz Goldziher’s Schools of Koranic Commentators challenging the tafsir bi-al-ma’thur (tradition-based commentary). Through descriptive analytical approach, this study presents the ambiguity of Goldziher and offers critics on the arguments demonstrated by him. The discourse of orientalism focuses on the selection of certain books which are mostly ulum al-Quran (sciences of the Quran) university books which required further scrutiny in term of validity and critique. As a result, orientalism is a study on Islam and Muslims concentrated to their literatures, cultures, and traditions in academic sense by researchers specializing in all related fields. This notion about the Islamic Orient has had an abstraction based upon Western perspective and more precisely, Quranic exegesis needs to be more studied as more than just an ambiguity but out of a meditation on the Quranic or Islamic sciences themselves into a Muslim system of belief.
