Relevansi Pemaknaan Hijrah pada QS: An-Nisa’ (4): 100: Studi atas Mufassir Abad Modern

Abstract

Hijrah as one of the phenomena recorded in the history of Islam during the time of the Prophet 
Muhammad Saw, is again associated by a number of Islamic preachers on social media. The 
conversation was prompted by the recent "humanitarian" tragedy between Israel and Palestine. At the 
same time, these preachers base their argument on QS an-Nisa' (4): 100 in addition to the historical 
context that is the background of the Prophet's hijrah. On this basis, this research aims to review the 
meaning of hijrah contained in QS an-Nisa' (4):100 through modern mufassirs. In this case, researchers 
try to place Tafsir al-Azhar and Tafsir al-Misbah as a representation of modern interpretation. 
Researchers used qualitative methods with content analysis of the two interpretations above. As a 
result, the two commentaries show an emphasis on the historical aspect of the hijrah carried out by the 
Prophet. On the other hand, both have different tendencies in seeing modern phenomena as a basis for 
historical significance to interpret the context of the Prophet's time. Hamka shows more assertiveness 
to "consider" the decision to hijrah which is interpreted by moving to a certain place or region, as the 
conditions experienced by the Prophet. In contrast to Quraish Shihab who plays a more descriptive role 
by not emphasizing the hijrah that occurred in the post-Nabian context.
