Narasi Palsu: Double Movement Terhadap Tafsir Al-Qurthubi Tentang Sifat Munafik Dalam Surah Al-Baqarah Ayat 9 Dan Relevansinya Dengan Epidemi Hoaks Kontemporer

The digital age has brought about an unprecedented spread of false narratives, known as hoaxes, which threaten social cohesion and public trust. This presentation explores the concept of hypocrisy (nifāq) as described in Surah Al-Baqarah, particularly in Ayat 9, and its relevance to contemporary digital hoaxes. By applying Fazlur Rahman's Double Movement hermeneutic method, we bridge classical Islamic exegesis with modern digital communication challenges, offering insights into the psychological and ethical dimensions of deception in both historical and contemporary contexts.

Analyzing False Narratives in the Qur'an

• The Qur'an uses various terms for deception, including kadzaba (lying), makr (deceit), and khada'a (trickery), each with distinct nuances
• Surah Al-Baqarah 2:9 describes hypocrites as deceiving Allah and believers, ultimately deceiving themselves without realizing it
• Imam Al-Qurthubi's tafsir emphasizes the self-deception aspect, highlighting the hypocrites' lack of awareness of their own actions
• The Qur'anic terms for deception appear 397 times across 114 surahs, underscoring its significance in Islamic ethics
• Historical examples, like the ifk (slander) against Aisha, illustrate the destructive power of false narratives

Al-Qurthubi's Interpretation of Hypocrisy

• Al-Qurthubi focuses on the term khada'a (trickery) in Surah Al-Baqarah 2:9, emphasizing its dual deception against Allah and believers
• He explains that hypocrites' deception ultimately backfires, harming themselves more than their intended targets
• The tafsir highlights the hypocrites' lack of self-awareness (ghaflah) in their deceptive actions
• Al-Qurthubi's analysis provides a psychological and moral framework for understanding deception
• His interpretation serves as a foundation for applying these principles to modern digital deception

Fazlur Rahman's Double Movement Method

• The first movement involves extracting universal ethical principles from specific Qur'anic interpretations
• The second movement applies these principles to contemporary contexts, such as digital hoaxes
• This method bridges historical religious texts with modern communication challenges
• It allows for dynamic interpretation that remains relevant across different eras
• The approach provides a framework for ethical analysis of digital communication

Contemporary Digital Hoaxes

• TikTok and other social media platforms have become breeding grounds for digital hoaxes
• Deepfake technology and AI-generated content have amplified the spread of false narratives
• Financial scams, health misinformation, and political disinformation are common hoax categories
• Algorithmic amplification of sensational content accelerates the spread of hoaxes
• The psychological appeal of hoaxes often overrides rational fact-checking

Relevance of Qur'anic Principles to Digital Hoaxes

• The principle of self-deception applies to digital hoax creators who often harm themselves
• The ethical principle of truthful communication challenges the viral nature of hoaxes
• The Qur'anic emphasis on social responsibility applies to platform algorithms that spread misinformation
• The concept of ghaflah (unawareness) explains why people share hoaxes without verifying facts
• These principles provide a framework for ethical digital communication and hoax prevention

The analysis of hypocrisy in Surah Al-Baqarah and its application to contemporary digital hoaxes reveals striking parallels between historical and modern deception. By using Fazlur Rahman's Double Movement method, we've demonstrated how classical Islamic principles can inform ethical approaches to digital communication. The findings suggest that addressing digital hoaxes requires both individual ethical awareness and systemic reforms in digital platforms, emphasizing the timeless relevance of Qur'anic teachings in the digital age.
