Konsep Menutup Aurat dalam Al-Quran (Analisis Tafsir Klasik dan Kontemporer)
Abstract
The commandment to cover the awrah in Islam is a fundamental element of Islamic law that encompasses not only a ritual dimension but also profound social and spiritual values. This article comprehensively examines the concept of awrah in the Qur’an by analyzing the interpretation of related verses—QS. An-Nur verse 31, QS. Al-A’raf verse 26, and QS. Al-Ahzab verse 59—from the perspectives of classical and contemporary tafsir (exegesis), as well as elaborating on the social wisdom behind this obligation. This research is a library study employing a descriptive-analytical method. Primary data were gathered from classical tafsir works, such as Jalalain and Ibn Kathir, and contemporary tafsir works, such as Al-Azhar and Al-Mishbah. The findings indicate that awrah is not merely about body parts that must be covered; rather, it is a representation of a Muslim's honor, identity, and obedience. Although there are differences of opinion (ikhtilaf) among scholars regarding the specific boundaries of women's awrah, all schools of thought (madhhab) unanimously agree on the obligation to cover it. This study concludes that covering the awrah holds multidimensional wisdom, serving as a moral fortress to avoid sin and fitnah (temptation/social discord), a deterrent against the arousal of lust, an elevator of status and dignity, a marker of Islamic identity, and a concrete manifestation of piety (taqwa), which serves as the ultimate garment for a believer.
