Pemaknaan al Din dan al Islam dalam Quran aA Reformist Translation

This paper highlights the ideas on the meaning of religion within Quran: A Reformist Translation, a contemporary work that promotes a reformist paradigm of Quranic interpretation. On the methodological framework, their exegesis lies on the Qur’an alone, which means to let the Qur’anexplainstheir self within their logic and linguistic features. They refuse the hierarchical and epistemic authority of the clergy in interpreting the Qur’an. Further, they have also rejected the authority of hadis. With this theoretical framework, they do not interpret al-dînas religion, but as a system. They also do not interpret Islam as a proper name related to the religion of Muhammad, but as a mindset and action which lies on the system of peacemaking and peaceful surrendering. This kind of interpretation theoretically makes a shifting orientation of the verse which generally tends to theology, dogmatic, and exclusive become humanist, dialogue and inclusive.
