This research discusses the concept of happiness and peace of life in surah Al-Insyirah
according to the views of Quraish Shihab and Buya Hamka. Life in the modern era
today has experienced rapid progress which presents competition and challenges that
are so difficult, not a few people experience anxiety, stress, and inner pressure in facing
life's problems. As a guide for life for Muslims, the Qur'an contains one of the surahs
that can be an antidote to calm in facing life's problems, which is found in the 94th
surah Al-Insyirah in the Qur'an. In Tafsir Al-Misbah, Quraish Shihab emphasizes that
the essence of happiness does not only come from the external or material aspect, but
from a heart that is sincere, calm, and close to Allah SWT. Meanwhile, in Tafsir Al
Azhar Buya Hamka emphasizes the importance of solid faith and spiritual struggle.
Hamka argues that difficulties are part of Sunnatullah and the path to glory, while bad
experiences can be a source of spiritual wealth if faced and addressed with gratitude.
Quraish Shihab and Buya Hamka agree that surah Al-Insyirah is used as a spiritual
guideline that strengthens humans to continue to try, be confident, and not give up in
facing life's problems, especially in today's era. Through a library research approach,
this article can analyze the content of each verse in the surah and conclude that the
values in surah Al-Insyirah are very relevant to be used as a guideline in achieving
happiness and peace of life in the modern era.
