The Concept of Submission is Based on the Term Mukhbitīn and its Derivation in the Qur’an: An Analysis of the Interpretation of Maudū’ī

Abstrak

This abstract examines the concept of submission reflected in the term mukhbitīn in the Qur’an using a Maudū’ī (thematic) exegesis approach. The main focus of this research is to explore the profound meaning of submission in physical, mental, and spiritual aspects, which is reflected in the attitude of humility and total acceptance of Allah’s will. The methods used include the analysis of verses related to mukhbitīn and their application in the daily lives of Muslims, both in ritual worship and social life. A semantic approach and the theory of antisinonymy are employed to understand the different meanings of similar terms in the Qur’an, such as muslimīn and qānitīn, in order to provide a deeper understanding. The results of the study show that submission in the Qur’an is not only reflected in physical worship but also in profound mental and spiritual attitudes, involving a balance between faith, righteous deeds, and humility. This research concludes that true submission to Allah has a significant impact on both the personal and social lives of Muslims, strengthening their faith and helping them achieve happiness in both this world and the Hereafter.
