Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explain the concept of jewelry in the Quran as reflected in the term ?ilyah. This research is qualitative in nature and employs a thematic analysis method. The author specifically adopts an approach from Quranic exegesis (tafsir) that is directly related to textual interpretation and aims to uncover textual meaning by examining each detail of the interpretive process. The results of this study indicate that, in general, jewelry in the Quran as denoted by the term ?ilyah refers to adornments in the form of clothing or items worn by humans to appear beautiful and attractive, usually made of gold and silver. Jewelry in the Quran associated with the term ?ilyah also represents various human attitudes, such as love of worldly life to the extent of idolizing it, covering the awrah (parts of the body that should be concealed), and expressing gratitude. This research is important to obtain Quranic guidance regarding ?ilyah as a form of adornment.
