Abstract

The phenomenon of Munafik is one of the important issues in religious life that not only threatens the spiritual integrity, but also the social stability of the ummah. In this context, the Qur'an pays serious attention to the behavior and position of Munafik, especially through Qur'an An-Nisa verses 142–147. These verses reveal the internal characteristics of Munafik who appear to be outwardly faithful but harbor disbelief in their hearts, and describe the reward they will receive from Allah. This research aims to answer two main problems, namely how to interpret QS An-Nisa verses 142–144 in Tafsir Al-Mahfuzh by Dr. Ahmad Sarwat, Lc. regarding the character of Munafik, and how to interpret QS An-Nisa verses 145–147 in the same interpretation regarding their position in the sight of Allah?
This study uses a qualitative method with an analytical descriptive method. The primary source used is Tafsir Al-Mahfuzh by Dr. Ahmad Sarwat, Lc., a contemporary mufasir who combines the approach of naqli postulates and modern social analysis. He also always studies his interpretation on his youtube channel. The results of the study show that according to Dr. Ahmad Sarwat, the character of Munafik as described in QS An-Nisa verses 142-144 includes inconsistencies in worship, deceitful nature towards Allah and believers, and double loyalty that endangers the unity of the ummah. As for the Qur'an An-Nisa verses 145–147, it is explained that Munafik are placed in the lowest level of Hell because of bad intentions and hidden disobedience, except for those who repent sincerely. This interpretation emphasizes that Munafik is not only a theological problem, but also has an impact on the destruction of the social structure of Muslims. Therefore, understanding these verses is important in maintaining the purity of faith and social cohesion of the ummah.
