This study aims to examine the Quranic exegesis of the Three Ulama or Ulama Tiga Serangkai—Sheikh Abdul Halim Hasan, Sheikh Zainal Arifin Abbas, and Sheikh Abdurrahim Haitami—focusing specifically on verses related to the Bani Israil (Children of Israel), and to evaluate their intellectual legacy within Indonesia’s socio-political context. The research employs a tafsir tahlili approach with an adabi ijtima‘i orientation, complemented by social-political hermeneutic theory, to explore how this exegesis engages with historical and social contexts. The author argues that despite using the tahlili method, the exegesis demonstrates a dynamic approach that integrates science, history, and social movements to challenge colonial hegemony and propose the liberation of the Muslim community. The findings reveal that this exegesis not only conveys textual meanings but also reflects profound social struggles, drawing upon Max Weber’s theory of authority and Antonio Gramsci’s theory of hegemony as analytical frameworks. The Quranic interpretations of the Three Ulama played a crucial role in advocating for independence and offering critical insights into the dominant ideologies of the time.
