| Summary: | Objectives: This study seeks to draw scholarly attention to an important exegetical approach —value-based — which, despite being implicitly recognized by several exegetes, has not been systematically explored as an independent field. It applies the value-based approach to the Qur’anic address (al-nidāᵓ al-qurᵓānī) to humanity in two specific verses from the chapters of Luqman and Al-Ḥujurāt (The Private Apartments).
Methodology: The study employs a deductive method to derive and reconstruct ethical values embedded in the Qur’anic address within select verses in these two surahs. Additionally, it adopts a descriptive-analytical approach to categorize, analyze, and contextualize the derived values in relation to contemporary realities.
Findings: This research defines a value-based in Qur’anic tafsīr as the exegetes’ inclination to interpret verses based on the values they, explicitly or implicitly, convey. It argues that this approach facilitates internalizing Qur’anic teachings and actualizing them in practice. Furthermore, this study identifies 13 key values in the two examined verses of al-nidā within surahs Luqman and Al-Hujurat, eight are considered positive values and five are negative.
Originality: Investigating the value-based approach underscores its relevance in fostering ethical education and shaping human behavior. The study is expected to opens new avenues for further exploration of value-based interpretations in the Qur’an.
