Abstract
This article examines the profound influence of Indonesian history on the interpretation of the Qur'an within the Indonesian context, employing a Gadamerian hermeneutical framework. Through a detailed analysis of historical events, cultural evolutions, and religious discourse in Indonesia, we explore how Gadamer's concepts of "fusion of horizons" and "historical consciousness" provide insightful lenses for understanding the dynamic interplay between the Qur'an's sacred texts and Indonesian societal norms and values. The study highlights the role of historical experiences, including colonialism, nationalism, and modernization, in shaping the interpretative approaches adopted by Indonesian Muslims. Using qualitative research methods, we delve into case studies that illustrate the localized interpretations of the Qur'an, revealing a unique blend of Islamic teachings with indigenous traditions and contemporary issues. The findings underscore the significance of historical context in Qur'anic interpretation, suggesting that Indonesian Islam exemplifies a distinctive model of religious understanding that bridges the gap between tradition and modernity. This investigation not only contributes to the broader discourse on Islamic hermeneutics but also offers a critical perspective on the interrelation between history and religious interpretation in a Gadamerian framework, emphasizing the dialogical process of understanding that transcends temporal and cultural boundaries.
