Abstract
This study investigates the influence of al-Isrā'īliyyāt (Jewish and Christian narratives) in Tafsīr Tarjumān al-Mustafīd, focusing on the first juz' of the Quran. Using a genetic approach, it examines how these narratives were transmitted and integrated into Quranic exegesis, analysing their origins and the impact on interpretations. The study highlights the epistemological significance of these traditions within Islamic scholarship and their role in the development of Quranic interpretation, particularly in the Malay world. The findings offer fresh insights into the synthesis of Jewish and Christian traditions in Islamic exegesis in Southeast Asia.
