Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Death is a universal event that all living beings will face. For humans, death is a mysterious thing, because it is certain to happen but cannot be known when and to whom it will come. People's views on death vary; some believe in it, while others deny it. In this regard, it is important for us to understand the nature of death so that we can prepare ourselves adequately to face it. This discussion focuses on comparing the interpretations of the nature of death in the Qur’an according to M. Quraish Shihab, a contemporary exegete with a social sciences approach, and al-Alusi, a classical exegete with a philosophical approach in his interpretations. The research questions of this study are: 1) What is the nature of death according to the perspectives of M. Quraish Shihab and al-Alusi? 2) What are the similarities and differences in the nature of death according to the perspectives of M. Quraish Shihab and al-Alusi? The research method used is a descriptive research method. The results of this study indicate that, first, death is not the end of life. Second, death is inevitable. Third, the condition of humans before and after death. Fourth, the purpose of death is a test to determine who has done good deeds. Fifth, severe punishment for those who are disobedient at the moment of death. Sixth, unimaginable blessings for those who are pious.
