Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan is a book in the field of Quranic exegesis written by Umar, M. S. 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, the main objective of this research is to study and detect the original resources of the writer in the Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan, and express 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 Lubab al-Takwil fi Ma’ani al-Tanzil and compared both texts to detect the similarities and differences. The result of the analysis proved that Umar implemented five methods; the text was referenced from Lubab al-Takwil fi Ma’ani al-Tanzil while finishing his work which is quoting the text, writing an abstract, removal of some of the words, adding explanation, and refuting part of the text. The research showed that Umar refers to the Lubab al-Takwil fi Ma’ani al-Tanzil while creating his work to strengthen the translations written. Thus, he successfully strengthens translation when the contents of the text are parallel to the reference. However, in certain places existed a text from the Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan, which contradicts Lubab al-Takwil fi Ma’ani al-Tanzil's content, which failed to strengthen the translation in a particular part of the text. 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.
