Abstract:
School of Tafsir Haraki is one of the systematic Quranic interpretation processes called “Madrasah
al-Tafsir al-Haraki” that many scholars have moved towards renewal (tajdid) in their interpretation
of the Quran at the end of the twentieth century. They directed their attention towards the message
of the Quran and became more concerned about contemporary issues as well as the perceptions of
the diverse groups of readers. Through a qualitative method, this study, attempts to introduce the
concept and its origin, systematically gathered information on trends in the Quranic commentary in
the nineteenth and twentieth century and the historical emergence of Islamic movement were
measured. Several sources of prevailing established outputs of the Quranic studies with
characteristics of the Islamic Dawa movements were studied. Based on the information gathered,
descriptive analysis was done by viewing at the appropriate clarification of term ‘Manhaj Haraki’
in interpretation of the Quran. The study concludes that the ‘School of Tafsir Haraki’ is not
completely a new method in the Quranic explanations, but it is a reproducing task occupied by the
modern Islamic thinkers to the contemporary world which had been applied by the prophet
Muhammad, his companions and the salaf al-saliheen in dealing with the Quran. The recognition
for the formation of the haraki schools of tafsir spirits to the Muslim Brotherhood, however
essentially it is the combined efforts of the men of reformation and renewal, the most popular of
them all are Sayed Qutub, al-Mawdudi , Abd al-Hamid bin Badis, Mustafa Al- Maraghy, Badiu al-
Zaman Sa’id al-Nursi, and of course, in addition to Imam Hasan Al-Banna.
