Viral Surah Ad-Duha, Gus Baha Explains the Tafsir of Allah's Love for the Prophet
Surah Ad-Duha is currently in the spotlight after a video promoting alcoholic drinks with a challenge to memorize the surah went viral on social media. Amid the controversy, Gus Baha's or KH Ahmad Bahauddin Nursalim's study on the tafsir of Surah Ad-Duha is relevant to understand the message of the surah.
In a study session in Rembang, Gus Baha explained the context of the surah's revelation, when revelation temporarily stopped, making Prophet Muhammad SAW sad and slandered by the disbelievers that Allah had abandoned him. Surah Ad-Duha was revealed to affirm that Allah did not abandon nor hate the Prophet.
Gus Baha also explained the meaning of dhalal in the verse 'wa wajadaka dhallan fahada' as a state of not knowing the sharia before revelation, not misguidance. He reminded that the verse 'wa amma bini'mati rabbika fahaddits' should be interpreted as an encouragement to spread the blessing of the Quran, not to talk about worldly pleasures that could trigger envy.
This explanation is not a direct statement from Gus Baha about the Newport case, but it's relevant amid public outcry against the promotion that used Quranic recitation in exchange for alcoholic drinks. The MUI Fatwa Chairman considered the act unjustifiable religiously, morally, ethically, and legally.
