Abstract

This study examines the epistemological construction of Qur’anic interpretation in the thought of Ibn Rushd, focusing on the relationship between revelation, reason, burhān, language, and ta’wīl. The study addresses an epistemological problem concerning how revealed texts should be understood when their apparent meanings seem to conflict with demonstratively established rational conclusions. Employing a qualitative approach and library research, the study analyzes Ibn Rushd’s major works, particularly Faṣl al-Maqāl and Tahāfut al-Tahāfut, alongside relevant studies on his epistemology and hermeneutics. The findings indicate that Ibn Rushd’s epistemology of interpretation is grounded in the principle of the unity of truth: revelation and valid demonstrative reasoning cannot ultimately contradict one another. Reason functions as an instrument for understanding revelation, while burhān serves to assess the validity of rational conclusions. When an apparent textual meaning cannot be maintained in light of demonstrative reasoning, ta’wīl provides a mechanism for seeking a metaphorical meaning that remains linguistically legitimate. This mechanism can be illustrated through the Qur’anic expressions yad Allāh fawqa aydīhim and al-Raḥmān ‘alā al-‘Arsh istawā. Thus, Ibn Rushd’s epistemology of Qur’anic interpretation offers an integrative model that brings together the authority of revelation and demonstrative rationality without subordinating either one to the other.
