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

القرآن هو وحدة متينة، كهيكل بناء قوي لا يمكن فصله، ومترابط بشكل وثيق بين الآيات وبين السور فيه. ولكنّ يرى ريتشارد بيل خلاف ذلك، على سبيل المثال يعتقد أن سورة نوح ليست بشكل منهجي وهناك عدة أخطاء وأغلاط في وضع الآيات، خاصّة في الآية الخامسة فهي ليست في وحدة واحدة. فيهدف هذا البحث إلى كشف بنية سورة نوح بتطبيق أساس التحليلي البلاغي السامي على تلك السورة مطابقة بالبنية المتوازية أو المحورية أو المعكوسة. وذلك باستخدام الأسلوب التحليلي لمعالجة البيانات والإجابة على مشكلة البحث، مع المنهج التحليل البلاغي السامي لإيجاد البنية النصية من سورة نوح والمناسبة لإيجاد الارتباط بين الآيات فيها. ونتائج هذا البحث هي على حسب التحليلي البلاغي السامي تنكشف بنية سورة نوح حيث أنها مقطع واحد يحتوي على 3 أجزاء و7 أقسام وتشكل بنية محورية متوازية (أ ب /ₓ/ أ′ ب′). وكل قسم وجزء له علاقة بالأقسام والأجزاء الأخرى التي تدل على حسن المناسبة، حتى لم يكن هناك ترتيب آيات غير مرتبط بين الآيات السابقة والآيات اللاحقة، كما في الآيات 5-7 الذي يشرح دعوة نوح المكثفة ورفض قومه لدعوته. وهذا الاكتشاف يفنّد رأي رتشارد بيل، لأن كل آية في سورة نوح قادرة على أن تكون متماثلة مع آية أخرى من مستوي الأدنى إلى مستوى أعلى. وخلاصة هذا البحث أن سورة نوح منظمة بشكل منهجي ومرتبة بين آياتها.

Abstract

This study discusses the concept of wasa?iyyah concerning religious moderation campaigned by the Indonesian government. This study is critical because several studies state that the two have similar meanings. Still, each has distinct identities and characteristics that need to be discussed academically as further consideration of the concepts presented. Wasa?iyyah is a middle way of thinking and acting in Islam, not merely referring to a standing position between the two, but is associated with the best and foremost balance. This study uses discourse analysis to understand the conceptual definition of both wasatiyyah and moderation. This study concludes that the meaning of Wassatiyah contains several different elements, whereas Wasatiyyah is mainly built on theological constructions based on the Al-Qur'an. Wasa?iyyah, on the other hand, is an offer made from an Islamic point of view to engage in efforts to deradicalize religion with several characteristics and traits found in the Qur'an and formulated by Islamic scholars.

Abstract

Some people only know the general form of tasniyah, even though there is another form, namely Deuteronomy of taghlib. Therefore, this research aims to discuss in detail the Deuteronomy of taghlib, especially in the three words as al-abawani, al-masyriqani, and al-bahrani. The novelty in the research is discussing the Deuteronomy of taghlib with Thosihiko Izutsu's Semantic Approach. Based on the literature reviewed, there has been limited in-depth discussion of the deuteronomy of taghlib. Therefore, this study argues that a detailed examination of the deuteronomy of taghlib in the Quran is essential. This research employed a library research. Followed by an analysis of the meanings of these three words based on Quranic semantics according to Thosihiko Izutsu, a Japanese linguist. The findings of this research indicate that the word al-abawani is the dual form of al-abu (father). In the Quran, al-abawani refers to both parents (father and mother) and is related to inheritance. In other verses, it refers to the two grandfathers of Prophet Yusuf: Prophet Ibrahim and Ishaq. In another context, al-abawani is interpreted as Adam and Eve in relation to their expulsion from Paradise. The word al-masyriqani is the dual form of masyriq, meaning "place of sunrise." In the Quran, al-masyriqani refers to the place of sunrise and sunset. In other verses, it is interpreted as the place of sunrise during summer and winter. Finally, the word al-bahrani is the dual form of al-bahru, meaning "sea." In the Quran, al-bahrani is interpreted as the meeting point of two seas.

Abstract

Shadows as observable natural phenomena are described in the Qur’an, particularly in Surah al-Furqān (25:45–46), which portrays their extension, movement, and relation to the sun. This study aims to analyze the concept of al-ẓill (shadow) in these verses through a semantic-based approach to tafsīr ‘ilmī and to examine its conceptual correlation with principles of geometric optics. The research employs a qualitative textual method using a three-layered analytical framework consisting of semantic deconstruction, exegetical mapping, and conceptual correlation. The first stage analyzes key Qur’anic terms—madda, ẓill, dalīlan, and qabḍnāhu—through classical Arabic lexicons and semantic field analysis. The second stage examines interpretations from classical and modern exegetical works to trace the historical understanding of the verses. The third stage explores the conceptual alignment between the Qur’anic description of shadows and established principles of geometric optics concerning shadow formation and solar geometry. The findings indicate that the Qur’an describes shadows as dynamic and orderly phenomena governed by the position of the sun, reflecting a coherent observational pattern compatible with scientific explanations of shadow formation and variation. Rather than presenting scientific predictions, the Qur’anic narrative offers a phenomenological description of natural processes that invites reflection on cosmic order and divine wisdom. This study contributes a methodological model for interdisciplinary research that integrates semantic analysis of Qur’anic language with responsible engagement with scientific knowledge.
How Does the Qur'anic Concept of Sunlight, Interpreted by Fakhr al-Din al-Razi, Integrate Theological Wisdom and Scientific Understanding in Sustaining Life? Ali Mahfuz Munawar; H Halimatussadiah; R Rochmad; Ahmad Suharto; Muhamad Shofwan Muttaqin

Abstract

Studies of the sun in Qur'anic scholarship have largely been fragmented and reductionist, focusing mainly on astronomical calculations or physical characteristics while neglecting the broader influence of sunlight on living beings and its theological significance. Existing research often treats the sun as a cosmic object or a temporal marker, without integrating classical Qur'anic exegesis with contemporary scientific knowledge. This condition reveals an epistemological gap between traditional tafsīr studies and modern scientific discourse, particularly within thematic Qur'anic interpretation rooted in the intellectual legacy of Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī. This study aims to examine the Qur'anic concept of sunlight through the exegetical framework of Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī, analyze its influence on humans, animals, and plants, and explore the divine wisdom behind its creation by engaging with modern scientific perspectives. Methodologically, this research employs a qualitative library-based design using a thematic (tafsīr mawdhū‘ī) approach combined with descriptive-analytical analysis. The primary source is al-Rāzī's Mafātīḥ al-Ghayb, which is critically contextualized with contemporary scientific literature in ecology, health sciences, and natural sciences. The findings indicate that al-Rāzī conceptualizes sunlight not merely as a physical source of illumination, but as a multidimensional divine sign. Sunlight functions as a source of life energy, a regulator of biological rhythms, a determinant of time, a contributor to human health, a driver of animal ecosystems, and a fundamental factor in photosynthesis and plant growth. These insights demonstrate a strong conceptual resonance between al-Rāzī's rational-philosophical exegesis and modern scientific principles, despite differing epistemological foundations. At the global level, this study contributes to strengthening religion-science dialogue, promoting ecological consciousness, supporting environmental sustainability, and advancing a holistic ethical framework for understanding the interconnected relationship between humanity, nature, and the Divine.

Abstract

Research on scientific signs can provide a deeper understanding of the scientific content of the Quran, but the lack of integration between Quranic scholarly studies and modern scientific studies has led to a gap in the understanding of Muslims regarding the Quran. Based on this issue, the researcher aims to uncover the scientific signs behind Surah Ash-Shams verses 1-5, such as the sun, moon, day, night, and the sky. This research refers to the commentary of Zaghloul An-Najjar due to his expertise in the field of earth sciences, making the study more effective in revealing the truth of the Quran. The research method used is qualitative with a scientific-themed maudhui commentary approach. This study is a literature review using descriptive analysis methods. The results obtained from this research are: Firstly, the immense benefits and materials of sunlight cannot be replaced by human-made alternatives. Secondly, the natural phenomena called solar and lunar eclipses. Thirdly, sunlight influences the production of serotonin hormone during the day, while the increasing darkness of the night helps the production of melatonin hormone. Fourthly, behind the visible sunlight, there is a daytime layer surrounding the earth above the Earth's atmospheric layer, allowing solar energy to reach the Earth. Finally, the vastness of the sky in outer space is discussed, leading to various galaxies and clusters of galaxies.
