Yesus dalam Al-Quran

Refleksi 1 Minute

Jejak Pemikiran dan Refleksi

Nama Yesus banyak disebutkan dalam Al-Quran, tentu tidak secara harfiah tetapi dalam padanan Arabnya yaitu Isa. Kitab Suci ini mencantumkan nama Isa AS secara eksplisit sebanyak 27 kali dalam 26 ayat. Ini fakta qurani yang menarik karena penyebutan Muhammad SAW secara eksplisit jauh lebih jarang: 4 kali dalam 4 ayat. Yang mungkin lebih menarik, penyebutan nama Maryam RA jauh lebih sering lagi: 34 kali dalam 31 ayat[1]. Tulisan ini membahas secara singkat ayat-ayat yang terkait dengan Isa AS dan Maryam RA.

Konteks

Statistics and religion. This is perhaps an unusual combination for many. The first is dealing with the empirical world, the second with that beyond that world. However, that is my reflection regarding myself. As a statistician, I spent 30 years (1981-2011) serving BPS-Statistics Indonesia. After that my professional services were dedicated to TNP2K office (an office under the vice president office) for a few months and to ILO-ROAP as a senior statistician for half a year. Since 2012 most of my time is dedicated as an independent consultant on statistics-related work, mostly for ILO and on some occasions for some government offices Indonesia. My recent work (2019) was on estimating child labour in Indonesia for ILO Country Office Jakarta. As for personal interest, since young, I've been fascinated with the basic principles of religious thought, especially on its esoteric dimensions, essentiality, and universality. Sufism and perennial philosophy are of my special interest. On this subject, I have posted a number of short articles in my personal blog: https://uzairsuhaimi.blog.
