Abstract

This study examined the interpretive and formative approach of Tafsir Mini Surah al-Fatihah, published by Telaga Biru, as a model of children’s tafsīr in early Islamic education. Employing a qualitative interpretive design through document analysis and triangulated interviews, five core features were identified: (i) use of the Quran and hadith as primary references, (ii) enrichment of understanding through Qaṣaṣ al-Anbiyāʾ (prophetic narratives), (iii) use of the qiṣṣah (storytelling) genre, (iv) focus on moral and spiritual values, and (v) exclusion of superstition and myth. These features collectively demonstrate the integration of Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jamāʿah theology with a child-centred formative approach in conveying Quranic meanings. The findings also highlighted challenges in simplification and parental dependency, emphasising the need for reflective parental guides to support accurate theological comprehension.

Contribution: This study highlights the significant contribution of Tafsir Mini Surah al-Fatihah in advancing children-oriented Quranic interpretation within the Malaysian context. While a similar initiative was undertaken in Indonesia by Afif Muhammad (2002), this work represents a crucial methodological development that contextualises children’s tafsīr within Malaysia’s socio-cultural and educational landscape. This study contributes to the growing field of Quranic studies that integrates classical tafsīr with contemporary approaches to faith formation and early Islamic education, enriching discourse on Quranic transmission in Southeast Asia.
