| description | <strong>Abstract:</strong> This article aims to describe the amount of attention that the Qur’ân has given to the problems of caring for the elderly. The author examined this topic using thematic interpretation methods by collecting <em>âyah</em>s that are closely related to keywords in the study, according to the induction (<em>istiqrâ</em>') method. Among the main conclusions in this paper, there were many words used in the Qur'ân which refer meaning of elderly such as <em>al-</em><em>k</em><em>ibar, ‘ajûz, syeikh, arzal al-‘</em><em>u</em><em>mr, wahana al-‘azhm, dha</em><em>‘</em><em>f, </em>and<em> syaibah</em> and their derivations. Al-Qur’ân suggests that old age is an extended period; there are ordinary elderly and late elderly, each has different characteristics. In caring for the elderly, several Qur’ânic principles should always be considered, among them; glorifying and honouring the elderly is one of the main characteristics of Islamic society. It is hoped that through these qur’ânic principles, care and respect for the elderly will be better among the Muslim community, especially in Indonesia.<br /> <br /><strong>Abstrak: </strong>Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan besarnya perhatian yang diberikan al-Qur’ân terhadap permasalahan pemeliharaan lansia. Penulis mengkaji topik ini dengan menggunakan metode tafsir tematis, dengan menghimpun ayat–ayat yang berkaitan erat dengan kata – kata kunci dalam kajian, sesuai dengan metode <em>istiqrâ’</em> (induksi). Di antara kesimpulan pokok dalam tulisan ini, ada begitu banyak kata yang digunakan al-Qur’ân untuk menunjukkan makna lansia seperti <em>al-kibar, ‘ajûz, syeikh, arzal al-‘umr, wahana al-‘azhm, dha‘f</em>, dan <em>syaibah</em>. Al-Qur’ân mengisyaratkan bahwa usia tua adalah masa yang panjang; ada lansia biasa dan lansia akhir, masing-masing memiliki karakteristik yang berbeda. Dalam merawat lansia, beberapa prinsip al-Qur’an harus selalu diperhatikan, di antaranya; memuliakan dan menghormati orang yang lebih tua merupakan salah satu ciri utama masyarakat Islam. Diharapkan melalui prinsip-prinsip al-Qur’ân ini, kepedulian dan penghormatan terhadap orang tua akan semakin baik di kalangan umat Islam, khususnya di Indonesia.<br /> <br /><strong>Keywords:</strong> elderly, Qur’ânic principles, Qur’ânic exegesis |
