Abstract

Blindness is a medical disease characterised by the partial or complete loss of vision, known as visual impairment or absolute blindness, respectively. The phenomenon of blindness is also mentioned in the Qur'an in several words, including: Al-A'maa, al-Akmah, and Ibyadhadh al-'Ain. This research intends to analyze the differences between al-A'maa, al-Akmah, and Ibyadhadh al-'Ain linguistically and scientifically. This study employs a library research methodology that utilises a descriptive and analytical technique to examine the linguistic and scientific distinctions among the three terms for blindness in the Qur'an. Several linguistic and scientific distinctions may be seen between the three terms of blindness that are found in the Qur'an, as shown by the findings of this research.: First, al-A'maa has two meanings, namely the ultimate meaning and majazi meaning. The connotation of the essential meaning of al-A'maa means total blindness, while the majazi meaning is related to disbelief and misguidance. Second, al-Akmah has three connotations of meanings: ophthalmic genetic, epiphora, and nyctalopia. Third, Ibyadhadh al-'Ain, which happened to the prophet Jacob As, is a cataract disease caused by traumatic and senile cataracts.

Abstract

The order of the verses and their coherence has been debated among orientalists in qur’anic structure studies. This article aims to reveal the coherence of the surah Adz-Dzariyat questioned by Richard Bell regarding the correlation between the verses in the surah. The method of analyzing this surah is Semitic Rhetorical Analysis (SRA), utilizing the verses’ symmetry explanations from Muslim scholars’ interpretations. This library research adopts descriptive and content analysis methods for analyzing data. As a result of the study, Surah adz-Dzariyat consists of two passages and seven parts in mirror construction based on Semitic Rhetoric principles. The relationship between the verses shows their coherence and excellent verse order without jumpy arrangements. Several groups of verses that at first appeared to be irregular became orderly and had a specific connection that could be understood through Semitic Rhetoric principles. This analysis strengthens the miracles of the Qur’an and refutes various opinions that doubt how good the order of the verses of the Qur’an is.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of technology has resulted in a significant decline in the quality of tadabbur (deep contemplation) of the Qur'an, particularly among the younger generation. This decline is predominantly influenced by technological developments and the pervasive use of social media, which frequently divert children's attention from reflective and spiritual activities. These challenges are compounded by a lack of proficiency in classical Arabic and insufficient guidance in contextualizing Qur'anic messages within contemporary issues. In response to these issues, this community service initiative employs a Semitic rhetorical approach aimed at enhancing tadabbur skills at the Qur'anic Learning Center of Taman Pendidikan Al-Qur’an (TPA) Al-Kholifah Sekaran, Ponorogo, with a focus on QS. Al-'Alaq. The methodological framework for this program includes stages of preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The evaluation outcomes reveal a substantial improvement in students' comprehension of both tadabbur and Semitic rhetoric, with the average score increasing from 34% to 84%. These results demonstrate that the integration of a Semitic rhetorical approach not only deepens students' understanding of QS. Al-'Alaq but also strengthens their spiritual engagement with the Qur'an, providing a more solid foundation for addressing life's challenges. This program underscores the critical importance of incorporating comprehensive learning methodologies within Islamic education to effectively internalize Qur'anic values.

Abstract

The Quran contains verses and letters that are systematically and coherently structured, as supported by al-Zarkashi and al-Suyuti. But Richard Bell took a different view. For example, according to him, the letter Al-Hijr needed to be more systematic, and there were some errors in laying verses. Meanwhile, Michel Cuypers is serious about the Semitic Rhetorical Analysis (SRA) approach in analyzing the structure of the Qur'anic text to find a concentric, mirror, and parallel symmetrical patterns in the form of the Qur'anic text. Even this approach is Considered a modern methodology with a new type of dialogue. It is interesting to look for bright spots in the structure of surat al-Hijr from the perspective of SRA. So that raises the question of what is the form of the text of surat al-Hijr from the standpoint of SRA. A Semitic Rhetorical Analysis (SRA) approach is used to answer this question. That is by analyzing the pairing pattern of the text of surat al-Hijr so that it forms groups of text at the bottom level. The bottom level has reanalyzed the design to get groups of text at the level above it, and so on, until the top level is obtained, namely surat al-Hijr. This article concludes that SRA, according to surat al-Hijr, is a Book consisting of 13 Sections arranged in a concentric symmetrical pattern (A-B-C-B*-A*). Richard Bell's opinion is refuted because each verse in surah al-Hijr is capable of symmetry with other poems from the lowest level of the text to the top level, so this conclusion indicates that surat al-Hijr is systematically and Coherently arranged.

Abstract

AbstractUsing Western methods to study the Qur'an raises several problems and concerns. This article discusses the Islamization of the Semitic Rhetorical Analysis (SRA) method pioneered by Michel Cuypers in Qur’anic Studies. The main goal of this research is to Islamicize the SRA method to make it more harmonious with Islamic values in understanding the Quran. This qualitative case study adopts the Islamization of knowledge approach, as introduced by Syed M. Naquib Al-Attas and Ismail Raji Al-Faruqi. The findings of this study reveal that Cuypers' application of SRA in analysing Quranic texts raises concerns due to inconsistencies with the principles of interpretation within Islamic scholarship, including the neglect of sabab al-nuzūl, the absence of the hadith, the potential reduction of the meanings of Quranic verses, and occasionally arbitrary division of texts. In efforts to Islamize this method, this research recommends removing them and integrating the elements from the sciences of the Quran, such as sabab al-Nuzūl, s hadith, and the science of waqf (stopping in recitation), to fortify the analytical framework of SRA without altering its fundamental principles, including the examination of textual particle levels and various text structures like parallelism, concentric, and mirror structure. This article significantly contributes to developing Western methods to align them with Islamic principles. It addresses concerns and disagreements surrounding the application of Western methods in Quranic studies. Furthermore, it enriches Quranic studies with a more Islamic perspective, ultimately leading to enhanced and thorough comprehension of the Quran and enhancing academic insights.Keywords: Islamisation, Semitic Rhetorical Analysis (SRA)Abstrak  Penggunaan metode Barat dalam studi Al-Qur’an menimbulkan beberapa permasalahan dan kekhawatiran. Artikel ini membahas Islamisasi metode Barat dalam kajian Al-Quran, terutama pada metode Semitic Retorical Analysis (SRA) yang dipelopori oleh Michel Cuypers. Tujuan utama penelitian ini adalah mengislamkan metode SRA agar lebih selaras dengan nilai-nilai Islam dalam memahami Al-Quran. Penelitian studi kasus kualitatif ini mengadopsi pendekatan Islamisasi ilmu pengetahuan seperti yang diperkenalkan oleh Syed M. Naquib Al-Attas dan Isma’il Raji Al-Faruqi. Temuan penelitian ini mengungkapkan bahwa penerapan SRA oleh Cuypers dalam menganalisis teks Alquran menimbulkan kekhawatiran karena ketidaksesuaian dengan prinsip penafsiran dalam keilmuan Islam. Kritik terhadapnya meliputi pengabaian sabab al-Nuzūl, tidak merujuk pada hadis Nabi, reduksi makna ayat, dan partisi teks secara sewenang-wenang. Dalam upaya mengislamkan metode tersebut, penelitian ini menyarankan untuk menghilangkan hal-hal tersebut dan mengintegrasikan unsur-unsur ilmu Al-Quran, seperti sabab al-Nuzūl, riwayat hadis Nabi, dan ilmu waqf tanpa mengubah prinsip fundamentalnya, termasuk penentuan tingkat partikel teks dan struktur teks seperti paralelisme, konsentris, dan struktur cermin. Artikel ini memberikan kontribusi signifikan terhadap pengembangan metode Barat untuk menyelaraskannya dengan prinsip-prinsip Islam. Artikel ini menjawab kekhawatiran dan ketidaksetujuan seputar penerapan metode Barat dalam studi Al-Quran. Lebih jauh lagi, memperkaya kajian Al-Quran dengan perspektif yang lebih Islami, yang pada akhirnya mengarah pada pemahaman Al-Quran yang lebih dalam dan komprehensif serta meningkatkan wawasan akademis.Kata Kunci: Islamisasi, Semitic Rhetorical Analysis (SRA)

Abstract

Too often, eco-theological readings of Qur’anic water verses outrun the text—because structural claims are made without a disciplined, transparent, and auditable method. This article examines whether Semitic Rhetorical Analysis (SRA) can serve as an audit-able tool for reading Qur’anic water passages in a way that disciplines ecological inference. Focusing on Q 23:18–19 and Q 25:48–49, it asks how rhetorical segmentation and parallelism clarify the internal logic of the verses beyond atomistic citation. Using qualitative library-based research, the study applies Meynet’s SRA procedure (segmenting the text, identifying correspondences, and mapping inter-unit relations) and then compares the resulting structure with thematic Qur’anic-ecological readings on water, balance (mīzān), and stewardship (khalīfah). The analysis shows that SRA makes visible a coherent argumentative sequence—sending down water, settling it, and directing its benefits—that frames water as an entrusted measure rather than a merely descriptive sign. It also constrains interpretive overreach by requiring each ecological claim to be traceable to a demonstrable textual relation, while still supporting an ethic of restraint and care. Overall, the article indicates that rhetorical-structural analysis can strengthen eco-tafsīr by providing a replicable pathway from textual structure to ethical inference.

Abstract

This study investigates the integration of Semitic Rhetorical Analysis (SRA) and scientific exegesis to enhance the interpretation of Surah Al-Thariq (Q. 86). Drawing on Michel Cuypers’ SRA framework, the research explores how the Surah’s rhetorical structure reveals thematic coherence and theological depth, particularly in its engagement with cosmological and natural phenomena. Focusing on key verses—such as verse 3 (the piercing star), verses 6–7 (human creation), verse 11 (atmospheric layers), and verse 12 (geological foundations)—the analysis demonstrates how SRA contextualizes scientific interpretations within the Surah’s parallel structure. Analyses of scientific insights, including pulsars, embryological development, atmospheric regulation, and tectonic dynamics, reveal a significant consonance with Qur’anic descriptions, suggesting a close correspondence between scripture and modern scientific perspectives. SRA enriches this alignment by framing these phenomena as rhetorical devices that support the Surah’s central eschatological themes—resurrection, divine omnipotence, and cosmic order. The synthesis of SRA and scientific exegesis thus bridges revelation with modern knowledge, affirming the Qur’an’s layered communicative strategy and its enduring capacity to convey spiritual and intellectual meaning.

Abstract

The era of digital disruption poses serious challenges for the world of education, particularly in shaping the character of students based on Islamic values. This study aims to analyze strategies for internalizing Islamic values in character education, with an emphasis on curriculum integration, the use of Islamic technology, role models (uswah hasanah), and the habit of religious activities. The research uses a qualitative approach with a literature study from various primary and secondary sources, including relevant empirical research results. The results of the study show that, first, the integration of Islamic values into all subjects has been proven to be able to foster students' spiritual awareness without being instructional in nature. Second, the use of Islamic technology and Sharia-based digital literacy can be effective means of increasing learning motivation while instilling ethical awareness, with teacher competence being a key factor for success. Third, the example set by teachers and parents (uswah hasanah) is an important strategy in fostering Islamic character, in line with social learning theory which emphasizes the role of behavioral models. Fourth, the habit of religious activities such as congregational prayers, tadarus, and other spiritual activities serve as a moral filter that protects students from the negative influences of digital information. Thus, the strategy of internalizing Islamic values in character education must be carried out comprehensively through

Abstract

The relationship between the Qur'an and mathematics remains theoretically contested between two dominant approaches: historical-empirical studies that attribute mathematical development in Islamic civilization to intercultural transmission, and contemporary analyses focusing on numerical patterns within the Qur'anic text. While the former emphasizes external influences, the latter often risks numerological overinterpretation without a clear epistemological foundation. This study addresses this gap by reconstructing Afzalur Rahman's interpretation of the Qur'an-mathematics relationship within a tawḥīdic epistemological framework. Using qualitative library research and content analysis, this study examines Rahman's works in dialogue with Seyyed Hossein Nasr and Bediüzzaman Said Nursi. The findings show that Rahman conceptualizes mathematics as an expression of divine unity, where the number one symbolizes the origin and return of multiplicity. Mathematics is thus understood not merely as a quantitative discipline, but as an ethical and contemplative science integrating rational precision with spiritual consciousness. Furthermore, this framework contributes to contemporary Islamic education by fostering moral formation, strengthening epistemological coherence, and encouraging scientific creativity. However, Rahman's paradigm operates primarily as a normative-philosophical model rather than an empirical explanation of scientific development. This study contributes to debates on religion and science by clarifying the epistemological role of tawḥīd in knowledge integration.
