Telaah Linguistik Saintifik Penciptaan Manusia Dalam Q.S Al-Infithar: 6-8 Perspektif Ibnu ‘Asyur

Abstract

The study of human creation in the Qur'an is essential for understanding the relationship between theological messages, linguistic dimensions, and scientific developments. This research aims to analyze Muhammad Tahir Ibn Ashur’s interpretation of Qur'an Surah Al-Infithar verses 6–8 through a linguistic approach and to examine its relevance to scientific perspectives. This study employs a qualitative method using linguistic analysis and a descriptive-analytical approach based on library research. Primary data were obtained from Tafsir al-Tahrir wa al-Tanwir, while secondary data were collected from books, academic journals, and related scholarly sources. The findings reveal that the term gharraka reflects human deception caused by external factors, whereas fasawwāka and ‘adalaka indicate the perfection and balance of human creation. Linguistically, the verses establish an argumentative relationship between the perfection of creation and human negligence. Furthermore, the concepts of taswiyah and ta‘dil are relevant to modern biological principles such as bodily symmetry and homeostasis. The study concludes that Qur'an Surah Al-Infithar verses 6–8 contain profound linguistic insights and scientific relevance while maintaining the Qur'an’s primary function as divine guidance.
