Abstract

The exegetical approaches that Muhammad Abduh and Fazlur Rahman used to study the Qur’ān are this
study’s main focus of discussion. The research is essential to enrich the literature of contemporary Islamic
studies by contesting the two scholars’ interpretation approaches. This article will answer whether or not the
contextualized interpretation model is still relevant today by comparing and contrasting Abduh and
Rahman’s respective interpretive approaches and providing examples of the verses mentioned. Hence, this
study is a qualitative-library research, whereas data processing relies on content analysis and comparative
methods. Nevertheless, reading Abduh and Rahman’s ideas within contemporary situations is still necessary
because of its rational-contextual interpretation compatible with modern society and needs. This study
significantly contributes to contemporary Islamic studies by offering new perspectives on the relevance and
application of contextualized interpretive models in the modern era.
