Abstract

This study examines the epistemological role of qirāʾāt in Qurʾānic interpretation, focusing on the maxim “baʿḍ al-qirāʾāt tuʾaththiru fī ikhtilāf al-tafsīr.” Unlike prior studies that mainly situate qirāʾāt within historical and transmission-based frameworks, this research adopts an integrative approach by repositioning qirāʾāt as an analytical instrument in tafsīr and legal derivation. The study employs a descriptive-analytical method on selected Qurʾānic verses. The findings reveal that qirāʾāt variations operate within a functional spectrum: some directly affect meaning and generate differences in legal, theological, and narrative interpretations, while others remain purely phonetic without interpretive impact. The main contribution of this study lies in conceptualizing qirāʾāt as a selective epistemological system, in which only certain variants produce interpretive differentiation. A limited “coding” analogy is employed to illustrate how micro-level changes in recitation may influence interpretive outcomes, although not all variations yield semantic effects. Thus, qirāʾāt is understood as a dynamic framework that preserves textual precision while enabling measured interpretive plurality.

Abstract

This study explores the humanistic and social values of Surah al-Hujurat through a phenomenological interpretation of the Qur’an. The phenomenological approach aims to understand the Qur’an not merely as a normative text, but as a lived reality that reveals human consciousness within social life. Surah al-Hujurat contains essential ethical principles of Islamic society such as tabayyun (verification of information), ukhuwah (brotherhood), the prohibition of mockery and backbiting, and human equality based on taqwa (piety). Through phenomenological analysis, these values are shown to represent existential awareness that connects human beings with divine and social realities. They constitute what is known as Qur’anic humanism a form of humanity rooted in monotheism (tawhid) and manifested in social ethics. The study concludes that a phenomenological reading of Surah al-Hujurat is relevant for fostering moral and social consciousness amid disinformation and ethical crises in the modern digital era. The main contribution of this study lies in offering a phenomenological reading model of Surah al-Hujurat that remains underexplored in prior tafsir scholarship, while proposing the conceptual framework of Qur’anic humanism as an alternative to the predominantly normative approaches that have characterized studies of its social verses.
