Hermeneutics Of Social Interaction Relations In Islam

Abstract

This study examines how social interaction in Islam is then able to give an attitude of
tolerance among religious people, especially contained in Q.S Al-Baqarah/2:120 and
Q.S Al-Fath/48:29.The methodology used in this study is Hans Georg Gadamer's
hermeneutics with Tashihiko's semantic approach. The aim is to "get a different
understanding of the monotonous and textual interpretation as is the understanding
of most Muslims of the two verses so that these two verses can be understood as
verses of religious moderation. The results of the study stated that: First, Islam as a
religion of mercy always invites its people to build an attitude of tolerance toward
anyone and remain vigilant, firm, and courageous. Second, in the hermeneuticsemantic view, these two verses are better understood as motivational verses so that
they cannot be interpreted as verses that legalize violence and hatred against other
than Islam. Third, lafadz asyidda in Q.S. Al-Fath/48:29 contains other meanings
besides meaning violence, in this research lafadz asyidda also has its own meaning,
including firmness, firmness here is certainly measured by how much tolerance level
a person has, the environment and globally. Fourth, the two verses above contain the
meaning as a form of consistency and upholding "the value of justice in social
society. Therefore, the researcher understands that the two verses above are a reinterpretation of the understanding of "most people that the two verses above are
verses inciting hatred and hostility towards "other than Islam".
