The Problem of Al-muddassir verses 26-31 Interpretation in the Book "Quran a Reformist Translation"

Abstract

This research seeks to uncover their criteria in interpreting the Koran as well as understanding and reviewing the results of interpretation, especially in the case of QS. Al-Muddassir verses 26-30. There are two major themes taken from these verses, namely Saqar and On it Nineteen. Regarding the controversy over this interpretation, the research that the authors used was library research using analytical descriptive methods. The results of the research show that some of the interpretation criteria used are based on the five principles mentioned briefly at the beginning of his work. The common thread of these five principles is to seek the true truth of religious understanding without any tendency towards the understanding of a certain group based on reasonable reasons, not blind faith, then the main goal is peace in human relations and relationship with God. Furthermore, Saqar which is conventionally understood as one of the names or doors of hell and On It Nineteen is understood as the number of 19 angels who live in hell, is no longer understood that way by Edip and his colleagues. They reinterpret Saqar as a miracle that is directly related to the number 19. This meaning is also based on QS. Al Muddassir verses 28-29 which are understood differently from the general. Then, according to him, the number 19 is one of the numbers in the Mathematical system which has become the design of the Koran. The initial inspiration for understanding the miracle of this number was the influence of Rashad Khalifa's desert on the discovery he had completed in 1974. The assumption was that the miracle of the Koran could no longer be felt in terms of language by the general public, but could felt through numbers, "Mathematical Evidence for God's existence".
