مفهوم القراءة التفسيرية وأثرها في فقه لغة القرآن: The Concept of al-Qirāʾat al-Tafsīriyyah and its Effect on Comprehending the Quranic Language
No full textتناولت هذه الدراسة مسألة مفهوم القراءة التفسيرية وأثرها في اللغة، فبيّنت مفهوم القراءة التفسيرية، وعالج هذا البحث أثر القراءة التفسيرية بيان تعدد اللغات وتعدد وجوه النحو، وتصريف الكلمات، وتقوية مذهب نحوي ضعيف، وخلص البحث إلى أنّ القراءة التفسيرية هي كل قراءة خالفت رسم المصحف الإمام أفادت معنى في التفسير، وأنّ القراءة التفسيرية تثري مفردات النصّ القرآني بمرادفات تُعد لغات متعددة للكلمة الواحدة، ومما زاد هذه المذاهب الإعرابية للنصّ الواحد جلاء ووضوحاً القراءات التفسيرية، وبعض القراءات التفسيرية ترجح وجه تصريف كلمة على آخر، وتبين الأصح منها والأرجح، وقد تكون في قضية نحوية مذاهب مختلفة عند النحويين، وأحد هذه المذاهب ضعيف، فربما تأتي القراءة التفسيرية لتقوي هذا المذهب الضعيفThis study explains the concept of al-airāʾat al-tafsīriyyah (the explanatory Reading) of the Qurʾan and its effect on comprehending the Quranic language. It focuses primarily on the consequences of accepting a certain variant Reading of the Quranic words and verses as an explanatory reading. The findings point to the multiplicity of linguistic features, grammatical forms, conjugations, etc. The research defines al-qirāʾat al-tafsīriyyah as every Reading that contradicts the conventional Reading of the ʿUthmānī muṣḥafs, yet it has been acknowledged as the explanatory Readings of the Qurʾan. It also explores otherauxiliary functions and roles of al-qirāʾat al-tafsīriyyah
الوحدة البنائية للقرآن الكريم وأثرها في الاستنباط: رؤية أصولية : The Structural Unity of the Glorious Qurʾan and its Impact on Deductive-Exegesis: A Perspective Based on the Uṣūlī Paradigm
No full textفيهما وفي أحكامهما وتدبُّر ما فيهما أهم عوامل نمو الفكر الإسلامي وتجدده عبر العصور والأزمان؛ من هنا نتناول إحدى خصائص الكتاب المجيد وهي الوحدة البنائية كمحدد منهاجي للنظر الأصولي والتصور الفقهي عند طه جابر العلواني، حيث اهتم بعدة قضايا قرآنية منها النسخ والوحدة البنائية والمنهجية المعرفية القرآنية ودور القرآن في أزمة الإنسانية المعاصرة. وإشكالية هذا البحث تُعنى ببيان رؤية طه العلواني لقضية الوحدة البنائية للقرآن الكريم وأثرها في معالجة الرؤية الجزئية للوحي وبناء الرؤية الكلية في الفكر الإسلامي عامة والاستنباط الفقهي خاصة، ومن ثَمَّ معالجة قصور التصور الاستدلالي عند التعامل مع النص الشرعي (القرآن الكريم) باعتباره مصادر للأحكام وليس منشئا للأحكام وعندئذ نحلل كثيرا من مشكلات الاستنباط القاصر عند أصحاب الفكر التعضيضي للنص القرآني. وقد اتبعنا المنهج الوصفي التحليلي؛ حيث يقدم البحث رؤية طه العلواني للوحدة البنائية للقرآن بداية من تعريفها وأهميتها ودورها في استنباط الأحكام وذلك من خلال استقراء وتحليل أقوال العلماء قديما وحديثا عنها، وأبرز النتائج التي توصلنا إليها هي: أن بذور الوحدة البنائية لم تظهر أول ما ظهرت تحت هذا المصطلح ولكن تحت مسمي آخر وهو (النظم) الذي اعتبره البلاغيون نظرية مستقلة قامت عليها فلسفة التحدي الذي وجهه القرآن الكريم للجن والإنس، ومن يراجع مقالة الرازي وابن العربي والجرجاني عبد القاهر وابن هشام النحوي يدرك ذلك، أن رؤية طه جابر العلواني للوحدة البنائية باعتبارها محدداً منهاجياً من محددات منهجية القرآن الكريم في بيان الحكام والمثال على جانب من الأهمية ليس في علم أصول الفقه فحسب، بل في سائر العلوم الإسلامية، والمعارف النقلية، التي يعتبر القرآن الكريم سر نشأتها وتطورها، ومنها علم التفسير، والفقه، والحديث، وعلم التوحيد، إلي جانب علم أصول الفقه موضوع دراستنا.The Glorious Qurʾan and the Sunnah of the Prophet are regarded as the supreme reference for the nation of Prophet Muhammad PBUH for all of them contained of doctrines, laws, and morality. Therefore, understanding and reflecting on the laws therein is the most important factor for the growth and revival of Islamic thought throughout history. In this paper, we utilized one of the exceptional features of the glorious book, namely structural uniformity, as a principle of jurisprudence methodology propagated by Tāhā Jābir al-Alwāni, who was interested in several Qurʾanic issues, including abrogation, structural uniformity, Qurʾanic epistemological methodology and the role of the Qurʾan in contemporary humanity. The problem of this research is concerned with Tāhā Alwāni’s views on the structural uniformity of the noble Qurʾan and its impact in addressing the specific vision of revelation and developing the holistic vision in Islamic thought in general, and jurisprudential deduction thus, addressing the shortcomings of the inferential perception in dealing with the Sharīʿah texts (the Qurʾan and Sunnah) especially in terms of accepting the laws, rather than initiating them. This clarifies most of the problems of Qurʾanic text deduction among other schools of thought. Using the descriptive and analytical approach, the research presents Tāhā Alwāni’s views regarding structural uniformity of the Qurʾan starting from its definition, importance, and its role in deducing rulings through the extrapolation and analysis of the opinions of classical and modern scholars. The key findings revealed that ‘structural unity’ is a new terminology that was long known as ‘al-naẓm’, which the rhetoricians (balāgiyyūn) considered as an independent theory that embroiled the philosophy of the challenge directed at the jinn and the mankind to produce the similitude of the Glorious Qurʾan. Whosoever reviews the ideas of al-Rāzī, Ibn al-ʿArabī, al-Jurjānī, ʿAbd al-Qāhir and Ibn Hishām the Grammarian, would discover this fact. Moreover, Tāhā Jābir al-Alwāni’s views on structural unity as a methodology of deducing rulings from the Noble Qurʾan, is not only part of the knowledge of the fundamentals of jurisprudence. Rather it is part other Islamic sciences, and knowledge, of which the Qurʾan is considered the basis of its origin and development such as exegesis, jurisprudence, ḥadīth, and tawḥīd, along with the principles of jurisprudence, that is our subject matter
TOWARDS EXPLORING MATHEMATICAL FACTS OF SURAH AL-KAWTHAR, THE SMALLEST CHAPTER OF THE HOLY QUR’AN
Full text linkIn this study an attempt for understanding a few mathematical facts of a Qur’anic Chapter (i.e. sūrah) is made. The attempt is the combination of both Abjad and Non-abjad approach. For the purpose of this paper, the 108th sūrah of the holy Qur’an- sūrah Al-Kawthar is selected. This is the shortest of the 114 sūrahs of the Qur’an. The main aim is to see whether there is any mathematical patterns in the sūrah that reveals uniqueness of the holy book. A possible analysis is done based on very simple and common mathematical operations such as ‘addition’, ‘subtraction’, ‘multiplication’, and ‘division’. Some astonishing outcomes have been discovered which indicates not only the singularity of the sūrah but also proves the impossibility of any human intervention in the Qur’an. These amazing conclusions are derived by human efforts, which are not conclusive, and the Qur’an al-Karim is not in need of such discoveries to prove that it is a divine sacred text. The main purpose of the Qur’an is to guide all mankind towards a blessed and blissful life in this worldly life and also eternal life in hereafter
THE PROPHET YŪSUF (AS): THE ARCHETYPE OF CHASTITY
No full textWhen Prophet Muḥammad (PBUH) was asked about the noblest person on earth, he responded: “The noble, son of the noble, son of the noble, son of the noble, Yūsuf bin Yaʿqūb bin Isḥāq bin Ibrāhīm.” Born into a house of prophets and messengers—Yūsuf (AS) was destined to carry on the blessed legacy of his noble forefathers. Unlike any other sūrah in the Qurʾān, Sūrah Yūsuf contains the longest sustained story revolving around one personality—Yūsuf (AS). Stories of prophets and messengers are found throughout the Qurʾān, but the story Yūsuf (AS) is concentrated entirely in this sūrah. In addition, the story is presented in a chronological manner highlighting major events in Yūsuf’s (AS) life—from youthhood to prophethood to government. It is important to note that the sūrah contains timeless lessons for all age groups and dynamics. The research presents Yūsuf (AS) as the archetype of chastity and further presents practical lessons for contemporary youth from his noble example.
 
دعاوى المستشرقين بوجود الأخطاء النحويّة في بعض الآيات القرآنية وردودها: دراسة نقديّة: A Rebuttal on the Orientalists Claim of Grammatical Errors in Some Verses of the Qurʾān
No full textيدّعي بعضُ المستشرقين أنّ بعض الآيات القرآنية مكتوبة مخالفة القواعد النحويّة. لقد تحدّى الله تعالى أولاً الأدباءَ، والشعراءَ، والبلغاء العرب بالقرآن العظيم على الإتيان بمثله. فلمّا عَجَزُوا عن الإتيان بمثله تحدّى إلى الإتيان بعشر سور، حتى تحدّى إلى الإتيان بسورة واحدة. فلمّا عَجَزُوا عن الإتيان بها افتروا على القرآن الكريم. وهذا التحدّي باقٍ إلى يوم القيامة. لقد بدأتِ المؤامراتُ حول القرآن الكريم من بداية نزوله إلى العصر الراهن. إنّ بعضَ المستشرقين يدّعون بوجود الأخطاء النحويّة في بعض الآيات القرآنية. قمتُ بدراسة عميقة حول دعاوى المستشرقين ومزاعمهم فوجدتُ أنّ القرآن الكريم محفوظ من كلّ الأخطاء النحويّة، وأنّ القرآن لا يتّبع القواعد النحويّة، بل القواعد تتّبعُه وتتّخذُه مصدرًا أصليّا للاستشهاد. وأنّهم يزعمون ذلك لجهلهم بالقواعد النحويّة وباللهجات المتنوّعة للعرب، ويدّعون بوجود الأخطاء بغير أدلة قاطعة، وأنّ أهدافهم لدراسة القرآن الكريم: هي التشويه في القرآن الكريم، والتشكيك في قلوب المسلمين والتشتيت بين الأمة الإسلامية، وحقدهم على الإسلام، وصدّهم أبناء الإسلام عن دينهم. يتمّ هذا البحث وفق مناهج البحث العلمي من المنهج الوصفي، والتحليلي، والمقارن، والتاريخي، والجدلي، والنقدي لتفنيد مزاعمهم وآراءهم وإزالة شبهاتهم، ويكشف هذا البحثُ الحقائقَ الساطعةَ بالأدلةِ القاطعةِ. ونتمنّى أنّ الأمة الإسلامية، وأهل اللسان العربي ينتفعون بهذا البحث، ويعلمون أنّ دعاوي المستشرقين حول وجود الأخطاء النحويّة في بعض الآيات القرآنية دعاوي باطلة.Some western grammarians claim that several verses of the Holy Qurʾān are written in violation of the grammatical rules of the Arabic language. Allah SWT challenges the Arabs who were fluent in their language to produce the like of the Qurʾān, and they failed. This paper adopts the methods of literature critiques, emphasizing descriptive, historical, analytical, and comparative, dialectic methods to explore the base of suspicion of the oriental scholars. The paper argues that the claims of these orientalists are very false which prove they are not deeply concerned about the high definition of the Qurʾanic language. In this paper we analysed the Qurʾanic verses which they claimed to have violated grammatical rule
Dealing with Mukhtalaf al-Hadīth: Between the Prohibition and the Instruction of Writing Hadīths
No full textHadīth is one of the two sources of law in Islam whose existence is irreplaceable for the Muslim community. Apart from being an explanation of the Qurʾān, there are instances where ḥadīths establish laws that are not specified in the Qurʾān. Realizing the importance of ḥadīth, there are those who attempt to cast doubts on the validity and authenticity of ḥadīth by arguing that the writing of ḥadīth was only done hundreds of years after the demise of the Prophet ﷺ. This argument is built upon ḥadīths in which the Prophet ﷺ warned against writing down ḥadīth. However, on the other hand, a number of ḥadīths indicate the opposite, in which the Prophet ﷺ ordered writing down ḥadīth. The contradiction between these two categories of ḥadīths falls under the the mukhtalaf al-ḥadīth. This contradiction provides a massive confusion regarding the documentation of ḥadīth. This study focuses mostly on the ḥadīth of prohibition by analysing the sanad (chain of narration) andmatn (text) of the ḥadīth, and the methodology to resolve this contradiction. The study discovered that the ḥadīth of prohibition is ṣaḥīḥ (authentic), and indeed contradiction exists between the ḥadīth of prohibition and the ḥadīth of instruction of writing down ḥadīth. However, the ruling inferred from the ḥadīth of prohibition was replaced by the ḥadīth of instruction of writing down ḥadīth
Issues in Scientific Approach to Ḥadīth Commentary: A Critical Study of Selected Ḥadīths on Prophetic Medicine
No full textThis research studies the concept of scientific commentary (al-sharḥ al-ʿilmī), which recently gained considerable significance, especially in dealing with ḥadīths of al-Ṭibb al-Nabawī (Prophetic medicine) and understanding them. In the beginning, the study defines the concept of scientific commentary, shedding light on its history in terms of its emergence, context, scholars and their arguments. Later, the study identifies and discusses the following theoretical and practical issues of scientific commentary in selected ḥadīths of Prophetic medicine. The historical, descriptive, and analytical methods are utilised in the entire study. The finding of this study indicates that there have been numerous commentaries that adopt the scientific approach in dealing with the subject of Prophetic medicine. This has posed significant methodological issues that led to the non-traditional understanding of Prophetic ḥadīths. The issue requires further investigation to shed better light on this problem
Women’s Role as Mufassir and Their Contributions to Qurʾanic Exegesis
No full textThe role of the Qurʾan as the primary legal source in Islam is inevitable among Muslims. Previous and present scholars have discussed the study of the Qurʾan in various fields, and many efforts have been done to understand its content from multiple languages. In addition, Qurʾanic exegesis or tafsīr is another important branch that contributes a lot in understanding the Qurʾan. However, it has been long debated that Qurʾanic exegesis was dominated by men since the seventh century. Due to the challenge debated by feminists, women began to question males’ interpretation and gradually produce their own interpretation by affirming the concept of ‘women-friendly’. Therefore, this study aims to analyse their arguments and to discover the contributions of women in Qurʾanic exegesis from the eighteenth century to the present day. By applying the qualitative method, this study found that all tafsīr written by female mufassirs have different formats, purposes, methods, and approaches. There is also need and demands of women scholars in Qurʾanic exegesis, because undeniably, there are differences found in the interpretations of male and female scholars. However, it is vital to highlight that the main responsibility to understand the Qurʾan and apply its content in daily life should not be determined by gender, but it lies within an individual’s obligation
