Saat Muṣḥaf al-Qur’ān menjadi Komoditas

Abstract

Can the Qur'ān be traded? Is it allowable and lawful to do commodification of the holy scripture? In view of the fact that Muslim communities mostly require the Qur'ān, an effort for commercialization of it directly emerges, and this article concerns on such Qur'ānic commodification. The concern is completed from by analyzing theological, Islamic jurisprudence, and ethical perspectives, to the using of material for the Qur'ānic publication (environmental conscience) and the involvement of the state as well, by proposing standard of commodification. Abstrak: Apakah al-Qur'ān bisa diperjualbelikan? Apakah dibenarkan melakukan komodifikasi terhadap kitab suci? Sejak masyarakat Muslim membutuhkan al-Qur'ān maka muncullah upaya komersialisasi al-Qur'ān, dan artikel ini menyoroti persoalan komodifikasi al-Qur'ān tersebut. Sorotan ini dilakukan baik dari sisi teologis, fiqh, etis, penggunaan bahan-bahan percetakan (kesadaran lingkungan), hingga keterlibatan negara, dengan mengusulkan standar komodifikasi.
