KONSEP TAUBAT PADA AYAT–AYAT HUDUD DALAM KITAB TAFSIR AL-MISHBAH

THE CONCEPT OF REPENTANCE IN HUDUD VERSES IN THE TAFSIR AL-MISHBAH

Abstract

This research is motivated by the lack of discussion about the concept of repentance in a special theme, namely the theme of hudud. Then another reason, namely, because there are still many people who want to repent for sins and mistakes that violate this hudud, but they do not know how to repent for their sins. Thus, it is important for Muslims to know the nature of the concept of repentance in the hudud verses, so that it is expected to become a means in the process of self-improvement to become servants who are always straight on His guidance. Then it is also hoped that this research will become a means to change the bad stigma of society towards one of Allah’s commands, namely the hudud law. Where the majority of people consider the implementation of the hudud law they consider cruelty and inhumanity.

The method used in this research is the library research method with the maudlu’i (thematic) approach. In collecting verses with the hudud theme, the author refers to the Minhajul Muslim book by Abu Bakar Jabir Al-Jazairi, then after collecting the verses about hudud, then explains the interpretation of the hudud verses as mentioned by Quraish Shihab in his commentary book, then analyze the verses in which discuss the concept of repentance and its wisdom.

The results of the research can explain that, the core concept of repentance contained in these hudud verses is the conditions of repentance itself. Thus, this research conï¬rms the explanation of the scholars regarding the conditions of repentance in their work, which of course refers to the Al-Quran and Al-Hadith. Then on the implementation side of repentance in these hudud verses, the researcher concludes that the implementation of the concept of repentance is the application of the 4 conditions for repenting as described in the previous concept of repentance. And there is an explanation that someone has a sign that he is serious in implementing repentance. Then, there is also a discussion about the existence of the hudud law, namely as a form of ta’dib and tarbiyyah (discipline and education), not cruelty or revenge from God.
