Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan is a book in the field of Quranic exegesis written by Syeikh Muhammad Sa’id bin Umar. The Muslim community has used this book as a reference to understand the meaning of the al-Quran. However, there is a tremendous amount of denunciation done towards the book by the community due to the lack of clear resources in translating verses of al-Quran, which has confused the community on the legality of the translation done in the book. Therefore, this study is important to reveal the reference sources used by the author of the work. This can eliminate public confusion about this work. The research design used is documentation and fieldwork using the subjective approach that employs descriptive and qualitative data. The main objective of this research is to study and detect the original resources of the writer in the Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan, and expressing how the sources are taken from the Quranic verses. The analysis of Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan used the genetic approach which Goldman publicized in studying the origin of the resources. While carrying out the research, the researcher referred to the text from Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan and Tafsir Ibn Kathir and compared both texts to detect the similarities and differences. The result of the analysis proved that Syeikh Muhammad Sa’id successfully strengthens his interpretation because the contents of the text in Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan are parallel to the references. This study suggests that thorough research be done by the next researcher on all the works referred to by Sheikh Muhammad Said when writing Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan. This is to completely remove the public's doubts about this work.
