Abstract

The concept of the Prophet Muḥammad’s (peace be upon him) infallibility (ʿiṣmah) represents a fundamental doctrine within Islamic theology and has been the focus of extensive scholarly debate, particularly in relation to the Qur’ānic verses of ʿitāb (divine admonition), notably Sūrah ʿAbasa (1–10). Diverse interpretations of these verses have produced varying perspectives concerning the interplay between prophetic infallibility and Allah’s admonition in the Qur’ān. This study seeks to examine the notion of prophetic infallibility in Sūrah ʿAbasa (1–10) through the exegesis of Muḥammad al-Amīn al-Shinqīṭī as presented in Tafsīr Aḍwāʾ al-Bayān. Employing a library research methodology with a descriptive-analytical approach, the research utilises primary data from Tafsīr Aḍwāʾ al-Bayān alongside secondary sources encompassing works on Qur’ānic exegesis, ʿUlūm al-Qurʾān, and pertinent studies in Islamic theology. The findings reveal that al-Shinqīṭī interprets the admonition in Sūrah ʿAbasa not as indicative of the Prophet’s sin or error, but rather as a form of taʾdīb rabbānī (divine instruction) aimed at refining the Prophet’s method of daʿwah, without contravening the principle of prophetic infallibility. Furthermore, the admonition underscores the principle of human equality before divine revelation, emphasising that the orientation of daʿwah should be determined by receptivity to divine guidance (hidāyah) rather than social status. This study contributes to the field of theological Qur’ānic exegesis by demonstrating that al-Shinqīṭī’s interpretation offers a coherent synthesis between the doctrine of prophetic infallibility and the verses of ʿitāb, thereby providing a more nuanced understanding of the relationship between divine revelation, divine instruction, and prophetic authority.

Abstract

Richard Bell is a well-known English orientalist who focuses his research on the Qur'an with a critical academic approach. Bell's approach involves methods of historical, linguistic, and critical analysis to understand the Quran in historical and cultural contexts. However, this approach raises rejection from Muslim scholars who believe that the Bell method is inadequate to understanding the true meaning of the Quran as divine revelation. this study is to study the rejection of the approach of Richard Bell in the interpretation of the Qur'an by Muslim scholars and scientists. The main objective is to understand the basics of the arguments used in this denial and to evaluate its compatibility with the basic principles in interpreting the Quran according to the Islamic tradition. This research methodology uses a qualitative approach with methods of document analysis. Data is obtained from literature that deals with the works and approaches of Richard Bell, as well as texts that explain the views of Muslim scholars and academics on the interpretation of the Qur'an. The analysis was conducted to identify points of rejection of the Bell method and to evaluate the underlying arguments. Muslim scholars reject Richard Bell's approach to the Quran because they believe it doesn't fully respect the Quran as divine revelation. They think his methods are too focused on history and criticism, not capturing the Quran's true meaning. They prefer interpretations that consider the context of revelation, Prophet Muhammad's explanations, and see the Quran as a unified whole. They also doubt Bell's historical criticism and say Western academic methods have limits in understanding religious texts. Overall, they find Bell's approach doesn't fit Islamic principles of Quran interpretation.The rejection of Richard Bell's approach to the interpretation of the Qur'an is based on the belief that its historical and critical methods are insufficient to understand the true meaning of this sacred text.
