Abstract	This study investigates the hermeneutical strategies of the Bābīyah and Bahā‘īyah, focusing on their symbolic and esoteric reinterpretations of the Qurʾān in legitimizing new religious authority. Employing a qualitative librarybased approach, the research examines primary texts alongside classical tafsīr traditions and modern hermeneutical theories. The analysis demonstrates that the Bābīyah and Bahā‘īyah shifted from the linguistic-philological hermeneutics of classical mufassirūn such as al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr, and al-Dhahabī toward charismatic-symbolic readings, where the authority of the interpreter overrides transmitted knowledge. Comparative engagement with contemporary hermeneutical models, including Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd‘s cultural-linguistic paradigm, Abdullah Saeed‘s contextualist approach, and Sahiron Syamsuddin‘s maʿnā-cum-maghzā method, highlights both divergences and resonances. The study concludes that al-Dakhīl [interpolation] fī al-Tafsīr should not merely be viewed as deviation, but as a distinct hermeneutical logic mobilized in constructing theological legitimacy and communal identity. [Per Moojan Momen: "Most articles on the Bahá'í Faith from Islamic Universities in Indonesia are just regurgitated refutations. This article is much more sophisticated and even-handed."
