THE CONCEPT OF HUMAN NATURE FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF IMAM AL-QURTHUBI IN TAFSIR AL-JAMI' LI AHKAM AL-QUR'AN (Study of Analysis of Q.S Ar-Rum Verse 30)

Abstract

This research discusses the concept of human fitrah from the perspective of Imam Al-Qurthubi as described in his monumental tafsir, Al-Jami' li Ahkam Al-Qur'an, with a special focus on the interpretation of Q.S Ar-Rum verse 30. This verse emphasizes the importance of fitrah as a fundamental aspect of human creation that reflects the spiritual purity and natural tendency of humans to know and worship Allah SWT. This research uses thelibrary research method, an analytical study of the tafsir work, with the aim of understanding more deeply how Imam Al-Qurthubi interprets the concept of fitrah in relation to human life in general. The results show that Imam Al-Qurthubi sees human fitrah as an innate condition that is pure and straight, but can be influenced by external factors such as environment and education. The factors that cause humans to turn away from their Fitrah are not remembering their covenant with Allah SWT. Disobeying Allah SWT. and Not using his mind properly. Then the way to maintain Fitrah is by returning to the religion of Allah SWT and Purifying the soul (Tazkiyah an-Nafs). Therefore, maintaining fitrah in Islam means keeping the heart and mind clean from deviations that can keep humans away from the truth. The findings provide a deeper insight into the importance of fitrah maintenance in the spiritual life of a Muslim.
