Abstract

The story of Prophet Ibrahim is one of the most frequently told stories in the Qur'an. This article aims to analyze Gabriel Said Reynolds' interpretation that highlights the aspect of Prophet Ibrahim's wife's laughter found in the Qur'an. This study uses a qualitative approach to the literature review type. This study found that1) Reynolds shows that the laughter of Prophet Abraham's wife, Siti Sarah, can be understood in two ways: as an expression of joy or astonishment. From Reynolds’s perspective, laughter also shows Sarah's disbelief in the good news delivered by the angels. Reynolds offers an interpretation that differs from the perspectives of most Islamic scholars. Reynolds is a linguist and historian of Christianity, so he provides an outsider's view of the Qur'ān. Nevertheless, Reynolds’s interpretation still provides an interesting insight into the story of Prophet Abraham and how interpretations can vary depending on the perspective used. 2) The story of Prophet Abraham shows the importance of trust in and loyalty to God. However, through Reynolds’s interpretation, we can also understand that trust itself can sometimes be questioned and understood in different ways. In this case, the laughter of Prophet Ibrahim's wife reminds us that trust in God can be expressed in many ways, including through expressions of joy or disbelief. Contribution: This study enriches Qur'anic interpretation by showing that Sarah's laughter has diverse meanings based on linguistic and historical perspectives.

Abstract

This article explores the application of the theories of al-Inâyah (Providence) and al-Ikhtirâ’ (Creation) as a Quranic approach. The analysis is based on Ibn Rushd’s Manâhij al-Adillah fî Aqâ’id al-Millah, highlighting how he integrates Greek philosophy with Islam to explain God as the First Cause and the Organizer of the universe. The method used is library research with a content analysis approach. The results show that Ibn Rushd views the order of the universe as a manifestation of God's will, where creation itself serves as evidence of a Creator with a divine purpose. The theories of al-Inâyah and al-Ikhtirâ’ are employed to argue that the universe’s order and complexity are the results of divine intention, in line with Quranic teachings about God as Creator and Organizer. This study finds that Ibn Rushd combines Aristotelian philosophy with Quranic teachings to provide a more comprehensive understanding of God. Using both reason and revelation, he portrays God as an essence that transcends the physical realm. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding on Islamic theology by showing the compatibility between rational inquiry and divine revelation. This study also demonstrates Ibn Rushd’s significant influence on both Islamic and Western philosophical traditions, reflecting a profound integration of philosophy and theology in conceptualizing the divine.
