Tabarruj dalam Al-Qur’an: Pendekatan Semantik dan Tafsir Kontekstual Al-Misbah

Abstract

A qualitative approach, literature study, and interdisciplinary focus on Tafsir Al-Misbah by Quraish Shihab. In the context of contemporary socio-religious settings, understanding the concept of tabarruj has important implications for religious practices and the social construction of women. This study employs lexical semantic analysis and contextual interpretation within thematic exegesis. The findings indicate that tabarruj in the verse does not merely refer to flashy dressing but points to the act of excessively displaying the aurat (intimate parts) or attractiveness in public spaces, which invites attention and violates social norms of decency. Tafsir Al-Misbah offers a moderate, contextual, and relevant interpretation in line with the dynamics of modern society. This research contributes to the development of thematic exegesis studies based on linguistics and opens space for interdisciplinary dialogue between Islamic studies and gender studies. The study uses a qualitative approach with a library research method. Primary data consist of the Qur’anic text and Tafsir Al-Misbah, while secondary data include classical tafsir literature, semantics books, and relevant scientific articles.
