Endonezya’nın Şerif Hidayetullah Devlet İslam Üniversitesi’nde Tefsir Alanında Hazırlanan Doktora Tezlerinin Tasnif ve Analizi
Classification and Analysis of Doctoral Theses Prepared in the Field of Tafsīr at Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University Jakarta

Summary/Abstract: Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University Jakarta is one of Indonesia’s oldest and the most well-known universities. It is considered as the “Islamic Window of Indonesia”. It is a contemporary institution that has made significant contributions to science, culture, and the arts for a half century and aspires to improve social welfare and national progress. Through several historical stages, the university has reached its current level of effectiveness and quality. In this study, PhD theses on tafsir from the time the university was founded until the present were categorized and examined. It is seen that the first period of tafsir studies have parallels with the cultural codes and historical past of Indonesia. With the beginning of the democratic and reform movements in the early 2000s, the university has started to train students again actively. Accordingly, it is observed that the studies of tafsīr are getting more prosperous and more diversified. According to our findings, 185 doctoral theses were conducted between 1988 and 2021. While most of these are directly related to tafsīr, a few of them are included in tafsīr studies because they have serious links with tafsir, although they are conducted in fields such as Arabic language and kalām. In terms of content, it is possible to categorize the theses under six headings: person, work, concept, history, language, and qira‘at. The university, which adopted the four principles which are Islam (Keislaman), knowledge-ingenuity (Keilmuan), Indonesianism (Keindonesiaan), and universalism (Globalisme), is thought to continue to add to the literature of Indonesian tafsir. It is believed that the academic tafsīr research carried out in the Ph.D. program of Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University, the foremost higher education institution in Indonesia, will contribute to the field by being acknowledged and promoted in Turkey.
