Abstract

Interpretation of the cause of calamity in the Qur'an based on QS Ash-Shura verse 30, focusing on the historical study of Suleyman Ates' thought. Mufassir scholars interpret Ash-Shura verse 30 with the cause and effect of calamity. However, Suleyman Ates comes with a new context, namely about reincarnation, where the mufassir scholars do not believe in reincarnation. This research method uses a qualitative approach with content analysis of Suleyman Ates. Suleyman Ates, one of the contemporary interpreters, makes a valuable contribution to this understanding by taking a psychological approach to several verses in his tafsir book. This study will present and analyze an example of his approach in the framework of Surah Ash-Shura.
