Perilaku Flexing dalam Surah Al-Takatsur Perspektif Hamka dalam Tafsir Al-Azhar

Abstract

This journal discusses Hamka’s views on the concept of flexing behaviour as reflected in his tafsir work, Tafsir Al-Azhar. Flexing is a concept used to describe an attitude that emphasizes one's strengths or superiority within a certain context, and in this context, we analyze how Hamka demonstrates this attitude in his interpretation of the Quranic text. The research methodology employed is textual and content analysis of Tafsir Al-Azhar, with a specific focus on how Hamka portrays Quranic verses related to human behavior. Findings from this study indicate that Hamka tends to highlight Islamic teachings that encourage individuals to demonstrate resilience and excellence in behavior, while still maintaining simplicity and balance. The topic of flexing is intersting to study because it is representative of current social trends. This paper is relevant to understanding the concept and impact of religious show-off behaviour.
