An Exploratory Examination of the Misprint of the Verses of The Qur'an in Tafsir Nur Al-Ihsan

Abstract

Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan is the second Tafsir after Tarjuman al-Mustafid, which was written in Malay in the 19th century AD by Sheikh Muhammad Sa'id bin Umar. The main objective of this study is to study and show the status of the text of the verses of the Quran printed in Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan, published by Percetakan al-Muarif Sdn. Bhd., Penang, and Matba'ah bin Halabi, Thailand, in 1970. Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan from this publication is widely circulated in the community, where it is used as teaching and learning material as well as a community reference for understanding the content of the verses of the Quran. The process of analyzing the text of Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan will use a content analysis method in the form of a full literature study that uses a subjective approach to view data descriptively and qualitatively. The results of the study found that there were 19 errors in the printing of the verses of the Quran found in the work. Therefore, efforts to purify this work should be made immediately so that this error can be corrected and at the same time ensure that the community refers to the true verses of the Qur'an as they have been revealed.
