QURANIC INTERTEXTUALITY AND YOUTH LIFESTYLE: A TEXTUAL ANALYSIS OF THE TWO GARDENERS IN SURAH AL-KAHF
Abstract
The interpretation of the Qur'an is an effort to explain the meaning of its verses. In the context of Qur'an interpretation, literary criticism, particularly the approach of intertextuality, plays a crucial role in the development of Qur'an Studies. Intertextuality examines the relationship between one text and another by discovering meaningful connections between them. This research focuses on Surah al-Kahf (QS 18) verses 32-44, which narrates the story of two gardeners (Ashâbul Jannatain) and its relevance to the realities of contemporary youth life. The study aims to provide a thematic exegesis (tafsir maudu'i) of the story through the lens of Qur'anic intertextuality, as well as a rational interpretation (tafsir ma'quli) regarding the concept of youth lifestyle depicted in these verses. This study used qualitative research with a descriptive-analytical method. The result concluded that 13 verses in Surah al-Kahf are interconnected with 18 verses within the same surah and 38 verses from other surahs in the Qur'an. The findings reveal that youth lifestyles can be expressed through their activities, interests, and opinions, as portrayed in the Ashâbul Jannatain story. This verse includes a hedonistic or worldly lifestyle and a religious or spiritual one
