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 article addresses the apparent paradox in Ibn Taymiyyah's thought: his reputation for rigid literalism in theology contrasted with his flexibility and contextualism in socio-political law. This study aims to demonstrate that this distinction represents not an inconsistency, but rather a conscious and coherent strategy of epistemological demarcation. Employing a qualitative library research method, the study utilizes socio-historical readings and content analysis of Ibn Taymiyyah's key concepts within the realms of creed (aqidah) and jurisprudence/politics (fiqh/siyasah). The findings indicate that Ibn Taymiyyah distinguishes revelatory texts based on the character of their objects: theological verses are positioned as a tawqifi domain demanding submission (taslim) without philosophical speculation, whereas legal verses are understood through a maqashidi lens, opening space for independent reasoning (ijtihad) to achieve public benefit (maslahah). This pattern is consistent in his reading of divine attribute verses (e.g., Q.S. Ṭāhā: 5), which tends to be affirmative without metaphorical interpretation (ta'wil), and in his contextual approach to public law issues, such as limiting the application of war verses (e.g., Q.S. At-Taubah: 5) through historical context and legal objectives. These findings correct simplistic binary labelings of Ibn Taymiyyah and help explain the error of certain contemporary groups who inappropriately transpose theological rigidity into the public legal sphere, which ought to remain responsive.
