TAFSIR SURAH YUSUF DALAM ALQURAN DENGAN PENDEKATAN SASTRA MUSTANSIR MIR

Abstract

The literary approach to the interpretation of the Koran is rarely used by commentators. One of the interpreters who used literary approach to analyze the Koran is Mustansir Mir. Using the library method and content analysis, this paper aims to explain Mir's thought in interpreting the Koran using literary approach. This paper focuses on Mir's article entitled Irony in the Quran: a study of the story of Yusuf. In the article Mir opened a new discourse for Muslims to understand the Koran that focus not only to stagnant or theological understanding but also to be able to enjoy the beauty of the literature contained in the Koran. In Surah Yusuf according to Mir, there are many irony or backward expectations with results. In his article, He explained that there were two kinds of irony, first, the irony of events and second, the irony of words. According to Mir‟s article, the teaching can be taken that God's will is the most appropriate. What humans want does not necessarily happen without God's will
