The results of this study reveal that Ahmad Musthafa al-Maraghi has at least eight unique methods in compiling the book of tafsir, with special procedures that have been designed by al-Maraghi to make this book acceptable and in demand by the public and popular, especially in the modern century.

This research used descriptive analysis methods based on library research. In the study of the tafsir, it was found that al-Maraghi deliberately omitted unimportant discussions, such as the grammatical aspect, so that the reader would not get caught up in the text but the context of the interpreter. This research needs to be done considering that tafsir al-Maraghi is quite in demand by many tafsir researchers because it uses the technique of tafsir adab al-ijtimā'ī, a short writing style, and terms that are easy to understand. This research seeks to explain the systematics of tafsir al-Maraghi, which includes the background of interpreters, sources, and patterns of interpreters, especially in the particular aspect of Ahmad Musthafa al-Maraghi's method of compiling his tafsir. This reformist or renewal is considered a breath of fresh air for Muslims to be more modernist, technological, and not lagging behind western progress. Also, their thoughts which are still shackled by customs, have become sharp criticisms of the reformists against traditionalists.

Bisri Musthofa, Mahmud Yunus, and Quraish Shihab, the reformists, also criticized the traditionalists who were considered too blind to taqlid towards the ulama. The commentators are Oemar Bakri, Buya Hamka, KH. Its development has progressed rapidly, such as various new styles and methods coming afterward. Tafsir in this century was heavily influenced by the thoughts of Egyptian reformers such as Muhammad Abduh and others.

The presence of this ideology also affects science, especially in the field of interpretation. This paper concludes that reformists took place in the 20th century due to European expansion. This study uses qualitative methods with descriptive analysis sourced from literature studies.

This study aims to explain the interpretation of the reformist era, in terms of ideology, influence, commentators who existed at that time, and criticisms of their commentators on traditional Islam.
