Abstract

This article discusses the controversy of Muhammad Shahrur’s reform ideas documented in media. Shahrur’s proposal of modern Qur’anic hermeneutics which mainly falls on two points, documented off and online attracts different responses. Shahrur believes that there is no synonymise words in Arabic language of the Qur’an, and the second, Muhammad (S{) has roles and positions either as ordinary, prophet or as the messenger. Using descriptive-analytic method, this study discusses how scholars responed over Shahrur’s proposal of religious reform which are circulated in media. Shahrur also utilizes information technology by opening a question and answer column at www.shahrur.org as medium to discuss different kinds of issues. The study find that reader of Shahrur’s works can be grouped into two mind groups; those who appreciate Shahrur’s reform and the other are those who decline his modern hermeneutic reading of the Qur’an and the Sunnah.
