ABSTRAK

Riza Saputra. 2011. Children of Israel’s Covenant in the Qur’ān. Thesis, Tafsir Hadith Department, Ushuluddin Faculty. Supervisors: (I) Dr. Mujiburrahman, M.A, (II) Dr. Wardani, M.Ag. This research reveals some perspectives of Children of Israel in the Qur’ān concerning their covenant. The covenant is the great responsibility: the responsibility to uphold and abide by the law and guidance of God. The Qur'ān mentions that covenant is not confined to the particular nation and ethnicity, although the covenant was revealed to Children of Israel, it contains a series of universal laws for the whole human race throughout the world. And these instructions, in some forms are comprehensively found in every religion. This research aims at finding the interpretations of key terms of Children of Israel’s covenant in the Qur’ān, the contents of Children of Israel’s covenant mentioned in the Qur’ān, and their responses to this covenant. The method of this research is thematic, with the following steps: defining Children of Israel’s covenant as a research theme, collecting verses of the Qur’ān which refers to Children of Israel’s covenant, arranging verses chronologically within a discussion framework based on contexts of revelation, constructing discussions of the themes within the precise framework systematically, completing the discussion with the relevant ḥadīth (if any) relating to Children of Israel’s covenant in the Qur’ān, and describing the conclusion of Children of Israel’s covenant formulations in the Qur’ān. Having discussed the Children of israel’s covenant in the Qur’ān, this thesis found that: Firstly, the term mīthāq is closely related to the contents of the covenant, and guaranteed by an oath and confession, the term 'ahd is used as a sense of responsibility to keep and maintain the covenant and to remind God’s blessing on them. Secondly, the contents of Children of Israel’s covenant is to act according to what is in the Torah contents, this covenant was made at Sinai at the time of Moses. The Qur’ān recalls this covenant at the time of Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H.) to criticize the Jews living in Medina. These commandments namely: do not worship any but Allah, do kindness to parents, to the kinsfolk and to the orphans, and the needies, speak kind words to people, keep up the prayer and pay the charity, do not shed your blood, and nor expel one another from your dwellings, believe in the divine prophets and help them respectfully. Thirdly, the responses of Children of Israel to the covenant described in the Qur’ān are ambivalent. On the one hand, they are described as true believers, while on the other, they are presented as infidels.
