Al-Qur’ān (ejaan KBBI: Alquran, Arab: القرآن) adalah kitab suci agama Islam. Umat Islam memercayai bahwa Al-Qur'an merupakan puncak dan penutup wahyu Allah yang diperuntukkan bagi manusia, yang disampaikan kepada Nabi Muhammad SAW melalui perantaraan Malaikat Jibril.
Etimologi
Ditinjau dari segi kebahasaan, Al-Qur’an berasal dari bahasa Arab yang berarti "bacaan" atau "sesuatu yang dibaca berulang-ulang". Kata Al-Qur’an adalah bentuk kata benda (masdar) dari kata kerja qara'a yang artinya membaca. Konsep pemakaian kata ini dapat juga dijumpai pada salah satu surat Al-Qur'an sendiri yakni pada ayat 17 dan 18 Surah Al-Qiyamah yang artinya:
“Sesungguhnya mengumpulkan Al-Qur’an (di dalam dadamu) dan (menetapkan) bacaannya (pada lidahmu) itu adalah tanggungan Kami. (Karena itu,) jika Kami telah membacakannya, hendaklah kamu ikuti {amalkan} bacaannya”.
Terminologi
Sebuah cover dari mushaf Al-Qur'an
Dr. Subhi Al Salih mendefinisikan Al-Qur'an sebagai berikut:
“Kalam Allah SWT yang merupakan mukjizat yang diturunkan kepada Nabi Muhammad SAW dan ditulis di mushaf serta diriwayatkan dengan mutawatir, membacanya termasuk ibadah”.
Adapun Muhammad Ali ash-Shabuni mendefinisikan Al-Qur'an sebagai berikut:
"Al-Qur'an adalah firman Allah yang tiada tandingannya, diturunkan kepada Nabi Muhammad SAW penutup para Nabi dan Rasul, dengan perantaraan Malaikat Jibril a.s. dan ditulis pada mushaf-mushaf yang kemudian disampaikan kepada kita secara mutawatir, serta membaca dan mempelajarinya merupakan ibadah, yang dimulai dengan surat Al-Fatihah dan ditutup dengan surat An-Nas"
Dengan definisi tersebut di atas sebagaimana dipercayai Muslim, firman Allah yang diturunkan kepada Nabi selain Nabi Muhammad SAW, tidak dinamakan Al-Qur’an seperti Kitab Taurat yang diturunkan kepada umat Nabi Musa AS atau Kitab Injil yang diturunkan kepada umat Nabi Isa AS. Demikian pula firman Allah yang diturunkan kepada Nabi Muhammad SAW yang membacanya tidak dianggap sebagai ibadah, seperti Hadits Qudsi, tidak termasuk Al-Qur’an.
Jaminan Tentang Kemurnian Al-Quran dan Bukti-Buktinya
Kemurnian Kitab Al-Quran ini dijamin langsung oleh Allah, yaitu Dzat yang menciptakan dan menurunkan Al-Quran itu sendiri. Dan pada kenyataannya kita bisa melihat, satu-satu kitab yang mudah dipelajari bahkan sampai dihafal oleh beribu-ribu umat Islam.

Struktur dan pembagian Al-Qur'an
Surat, ayat dan ruku'
Al-Qur'an terdiri atas 114 bagian yang dikenal dengan nama surah (surat). Setiap surat akan terdiri atas beberapa ayat, di mana surat terpanjang dengan 286 ayat adalah surat Al Baqarah dan yang terpendek hanya memiliki 3 ayat yakni surat Al Kautsar dan Al-‘Așr. Surat-surat yang panjang terbagi lagi atas sub bagian lagi yang disebut ruku' yang membahas tema atau topik tertentu.
Makkiyah dan Madaniyah
Sedangkan menurut tempat diturunkannya, setiap surat dapat dibagi atas surat-surat Makkiyah (surat Mekkah) dan Madaniyah (surat Madinah). Pembagian ini berdasarkan tempat dan waktu penurunan surat dan ayat tertentu di mana surat-surat yang turun sebelum Rasulullah SAW hijrah ke Madinah digolongkan surat Makkiyah sedangkan setelahnya tergolong surat Madaniyah. Pembagian berdasar fase sebelum dan sesudah hijrah ini lebih tepat, sebab ada surat Madaniyah yang turun di Mekkah.
Juz dan manzil
Dalam skema pembagian lain, Al-Qur'an juga terbagi menjadi 30 bagian dengan panjang sama yang dikenal dengan nama juz. Pembagian ini untuk memudahkan mereka yang ingin menuntaskan bacaan Al-Qur'an dalam 30 hari (satu bulan). Pembagian lain yakni manzil memecah Al-Qur'an menjadi 7 bagian dengan tujuan penyelesaian bacaan dalam 7 hari (satu minggu). Kedua jenis pembagian ini tidak memiliki hubungan dengan pembagian subyek bahasan tertentu.
Menurut ukuran surat
Kemudian dari segi panjang-pendeknya, surat-surat yang ada didalam Al-Qur’an terbagi menjadi empat bagian, yaitu:
* As Sab’uththiwaal (tujuh surat yang panjang). Yaitu Surat Al-Baqarah, Ali Imran, An-Nisaa’, Al-A’raaf, Al-An’aam, Al Maa-idah dan Yunus
* Al Miuun (seratus ayat lebih), seperti Hud, Yusuf, Mu'min dan sebagainya
* Al Matsaani (kurang sedikit dari seratus ayat), seperti Al-Anfaal, Al-Hijr dan sebagainya
* Al Mufashshal (surat-surat pendek), seperti Adh-Dhuha, Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, An-Nas dan sebagainya
Sejarah Al-Qur'an hingga berbentuk mushaf
Manuskrip dari Al-Andalus abad ke-12
Penurunan Al-Qur'an
Al-Qur'an tidak turun sekaligus. Al-Qur'an turun secara berangsur-angsur selama 22 tahun 2 bulan 22 hari. Oleh para ulama membagi masa turun ini dibagi menjadi 2 periode, yaitu periode Mekkah dan periode Madinah. Periode Mekkah berlangsung selama 12 tahun masa kenabian Rasulullah SAW dan surat-surat yang turun pada waktu ini tergolong surat Makkiyyah. Sedangkan periode Madinah yang dimulai sejak peristiwa hijrah berlangsung selama 10 tahun dan surat yang turun pada kurun waktu ini disebut surat Madaniyah.
Penulisan Al-Qur'an dan perkembangannya
Penulisan (pencatatan dalam bentuk teks) Al-Qur'an sudah dimulai sejak zaman Nabi Muhammad SAW. Kemudian transformasinya menjadi teks yang dijumpai saat ini selesai dilakukan pada zaman khalifah Utsman bin Affan.
Pengumpulan Al-Qur'an di masa Rasullulah SAW
Pada masa ketika Nabi Muhammad SAW masih hidup, terdapat beberapa orang yang ditunjuk untuk menuliskan Al Qur'an yakni Zaid bin Tsabit, Ali bin Abi Talib, Muawiyah bin Abu Sufyan dan Ubay bin Kaab. Sahabat yang lain juga kerap menuliskan wahyu tersebut walau tidak diperintahkan. Media penulisan yang digunakan saat itu berupa pelepah kurma, lempengan batu, daun lontar, kulit atau daun kayu, pelana, potongan tulang belulang binatang. Di samping itu banyak juga sahabat-sahabat langsung menghafalkan ayat-ayat Al-Qur'an setelah wahyu diturunkan.
Pengumpulan Al-Qur'an di masa Khulafaur Rasyidin
Pada masa pemerintahan Abu Bakar
Pada masa kekhalifahan Abu Bakar, terjadi beberapa pertempuran (dalam perang yang dikenal dengan nama perang Ridda) yang mengakibatkan tewasnya beberapa penghafal Al-Qur'an dalam jumlah yang signifikan. Umar bin Khattab yang saat itu merasa sangat khawatir akan keadaan tersebut lantas meminta kepada Abu Bakar untuk mengumpulkan seluruh tulisan Al-Qur'an yang saat itu tersebar di antara para sahabat. Abu Bakar lantas memerintahkan Zaid bin Tsabit sebagai koordinator pelaksaan tugas tersebut. Setelah pekerjaan tersebut selesai dan Al-Qur'an tersusun secara rapi dalam satu mushaf, hasilnya diserahkan kepada Abu Bakar. Abu Bakar menyimpan mushaf tersebut hingga wafatnya kemudian mushaf tersebut berpindah kepada Umar sebagai khalifah penerusnya, selanjutnya mushaf dipegang oleh anaknya yakni Hafsah yang juga istri Nabi Muhammad SAW.
Pada masa pemerintahan Utsman bin Affan
Pada masa pemerintahan khalifah ke-3 yakni Utsman bin Affan, terdapat keragaman dalam cara pembacaan Al-Qur'an (qira'at) yang disebabkan oleh adanya perbedaan dialek (lahjah) antar suku yang berasal dari daerah berbeda-beda. Hal ini menimbulkan kekhawatiran Utsman sehingga ia mengambil kebijakan untuk membuat sebuah mushaf standar (menyalin mushaf yang dipegang Hafsah) yang ditulis dengan sebuah jenis penulisan yang baku. Standar tersebut, yang kemudian dikenal dengan istilah cara penulisan (rasam) Utsmani yang digunakan hingga saat ini. Bersamaan dengan standarisasi ini, seluruh mushaf yang berbeda dengan standar yang dihasilkan diperintahkan untuk dimusnahkan (dibakar). Dengan proses ini Utsman berhasil mencegah bahaya laten terjadinya perselisihan di antara umat Islam di masa depan dalam penulisan dan pembacaan Al-Qur'an.
Mengutip hadist riwayat Ibnu Abi Dawud dalam Al-Mashahif, dengan sanad yang shahih:
Suwaid bin Ghaflah berkata, "Ali mengatakan: Katakanlah segala yang baik tentang Utsman. Demi Allah, apa yang telah dilakukannya mengenai mushaf-mushaf Al Qur'an sudah atas persetujuan kami. Utsman berkata, 'Bagaimana pendapatmu tentang isu qira'at ini? Saya mendapat berita bahwa sebagian mereka mengatakan bahwa qira'atnya lebih baik dari qira'at orang lain. Ini hampir menjadi suatu kekufuran'. Kami berkata, 'Bagaimana pendapatmu?' Ia menjawab, 'Aku berpendapat agar umat bersatu pada satu mushaf, sehingga tidak terjadi lagi perpecahan dan perselisihan.' Kami berkata, 'Pendapatmu sangat baik'."
Menurut Syaikh Manna' Al-Qaththan dalam Mahabits fi 'Ulum Al Qur'an, keterangan ini menunjukkan bahwa apa yang dilakukan Utsman telah disepakati oleh para sahabat. Demikianlah selanjutnya Utsman mengirim utusan kepada Hafsah untuk meminjam mushaf Abu Bakar yang ada padanya. Lalu Utsman memanggil Zaid bin Tsabit Al-Anshari dan tiga orang Quraish, yaitu Abdullah bin Az-Zubair, Said bin Al-Ash dan Abdurrahman bin Al-Harits bin Hisyam. Ia memerintahkan mereka agar menyalin dan memperbanyak mushaf, dan jika ada perbedaan antara Zaid dengan ketiga orang Quraish tersebut, hendaklah ditulis dalam bahasa Quraish karena Al Qur'an turun dalam dialek bahasa mereka. Setelah mengembalikan lembaran-lembaran asli kepada Hafsah, ia mengirimkan tujuh buah mushaf, yaitu ke Mekkah, Syam, Yaman, Bahrain, Bashrah, Kufah, dan sebuah ditahan di Madinah (mushaf al-Imam).
Upaya penerjemahan dan penafsiran Al Qur'an
Upaya-upaya untuk mengetahui isi dan maksud Al Qur'an telah menghasilkan proses penerjemahan (literal) dan penafsiran (lebih dalam, mengupas makna) dalam berbagai bahasa. Namun demikian hasil usaha tersebut dianggap sebatas usaha manusia dan bukan usaha untuk menduplikasi atau menggantikan teks yang asli dalam bahasa Arab. Kedudukan terjemahan dan tafsir yang dihasilkan tidak sama dengan Al-Qur'an itu sendiri.
Terjemahan
Terjemahan Al-Qur'an adalah hasil usaha penerjemahan secara literal teks Al-Qur'an yang tidak dibarengi dengan usaha interpretasi lebih jauh. Terjemahan secara literal tidak boleh dianggap sebagai arti sesungguhnya dari Al-Qur'an. Sebab Al-Qur'an menggunakan suatu lafazh dengan berbagai gaya dan untuk suatu maksud yang bervariasi; terkadang untuk arti hakiki, terkadang pula untuk arti majazi (kiasan) atau arti dan maksud lainnya.

6. Al-Amin (bahasa Sunda)
Tafsir
Upaya penafsiran Al-Qur'an telah berkembang sejak semasa hidupnya Nabi Muhammad, saat itu para sahabat tinggal menanyakan kepada sang Nabi jika memerlukan penjelasan atas ayat tertentu. Kemudian setelah wafatnya Nabi Muhammad hingga saat ini usaha menggali lebih dalam ayat-ayat Al-Qur'an terus berlanjut. Pendekatan (metodologi) yang digunakan juga beragam, mulai dari metode analitik, tematik, hingga perbandingan antar ayat. Corak yang dihasilkan juga beragam, terdapat tafsir dengan corak sastra-bahasa, sastra-budaya, filsafat dan teologis bahkan corak ilmiah.
Adab Terhadap Al-Qur'an
Sebelum menyentuh sebuah mushaf Al-Qur'an, seorang Muslim dianjurkan untuk menyucikan dirinya terlebih dahulu dengan berwudhu. Hal ini berdasarkan tradisi dan interpretasi secara literal dari surat Al Waaqi'ah ayat 77 hingga 79.
Terjemahannya antara lain:56-77. Sesungguhnya Al-Qur'an ini adalah bacaan yang sangat mulia, 56-78. pada kitab yang terpelihara (Lauhul Mahfuzh), 56-79. tidak menyentuhnya kecuali orang-orang yang disucikan. (56:77-56:79)
Penghormatan terhadap teks tertulis Al-Qur'an adalah salah satu unsur penting kepercayaan bagi sebagian besar Muslim. Mereka memercayai bahwa penghinaan secara sengaja terhadap Al Qur'an adalah sebuah bentuk penghinaan serius terhadap sesuatu yang suci. Berdasarkan hukum pada beberapa negara berpenduduk mayoritas Muslim, hukuman untuk hal ini dapat berupa penjara kurungan dalam waktu yang lama dan bahkan ada yang menerapkan hukuman mati.
Hubungan dengan kitab-kitab lain
!Artikel utama untuk bagian ini adalah: Hubungan Al-Qur'an dengan kitab lain
Berkaitan dengan adanya kitab-kitab yang dipercayai diturunkan kepada nabi-nabi sebelum Muhammad SAW dalam agama Islam (Taurat, Zabur, Injil, lembaran Ibrahim), Al-Qur'an dalam beberapa ayatnya menegaskan posisinya terhadap kitab-kitab tersebut. Berikut adalah pernyataan Al-Qur'an yang tentunya menjadi doktrin bagi ummat Islam mengenai hubungan Al-Qur'an dengan kitab-kitab tersebut:
* Bahwa Al-Qur'an menuntut kepercayaan ummat Islam terhadap eksistensi kitab-kitab tersebut. QS(2:4)
* Bahwa Al-Qur'an diposisikan sebagai pembenar dan batu ujian (verifikator) bagi kitab-kitab sebelumnya. QS(5:48)
* Bahwa Al-Qur'an menjadi referensi untuk menghilangkan perselisihan pendapat antara ummat-ummat rasul yang berbeda. QS(16:63-64)
* Bahwa Al-Qur'an meluruskan sejarah. Dalam Al-Qur'an terdapat cerita-cerita mengenai kaum dari rasul-rasul terdahulu, juga mengenai beberapa bagian mengenai kehidupan para rasul tersebut. Cerita tersebut pada beberapa aspek penting berbeda dengan versi yang terdapat pada teks-teks lain yang dimiliki baik oleh Yahudi dan Kristen.
