Abstract

Islamic thought has produced many intellectual and scientific schools, within which many personalities in different scientific fields have emerged. Al-Zamakhshari (d. 538H) is regarded as one of the most influential figures from the Mu’tazila school of thought in the history of Arab and Islamic culture. This study aims to reveal the direction and impact of Mu'tazila thought on the interpretation of verses related to Istiwa through Zamakhshari's book "Al-Kashaf" to expand the definition of the linguistic meanings presented by Al-Zamakhshari and analyze the contexts in which he dealt with this concept. The significance of this article lies in understanding the mechanisms of interpretation upon which Al-Zamakhshari relied in defending his belief by using reasoning and language to disassociate and free the Almighty from being similar or resembling the creature. The research used the descriptive-analytical approach to highlight the aspects used in al-Zamakhshari's interpretation of the concept of Istiwa. The study finds that the interpretations of the verses related to al-Istiwa Zamakhshari are purely linguistic-based interpretations, which he employs and links to the significance and context meaning according to what supports his Mu’tazili doctrine.

Abstract

Since the advent of secularism in the middle-ages there exist a strong debate among Muslim scholars and thinkers on its compatibility with Islam. The proponents of secularism popularly known as secular Muslims upheld that Islam and secularism are two sides of the same coin because of their shared aspects while its opponents (the Islamists) uphold otherwise. This paper depends on convergence theory to argue that there are some similarities as well as differences between the two concepts. The study suitably adopted descriptive and comparative approaches of qualitative research to generate and analyses data. The study found that there are two types of secularism namely: the radical and moderate secularism. The radical secularism which is usually translated as “extremist” is characterized by hostile approaches to religion while the moderate secularism known as soft secularism acknowledges religious freedom, tolerance and pluralism which are all inherent in the Islamic world views. The major differences between the Islamic world views and that of the moderate secular views lie in the fact that Islam calls for humanity to embrace its faith (Da’awa) in spite its strong position on religious freedom and the Islamic concept of moderation (Wasatiyyah) which advocates upholding balance stance between two opposing extremes. On a final note the research recommends that Muslims should strongly uphold the Islamic teachings in their individual and societal lives alike.

Abstract

Technological advances have transformed the presentation of tafsir (Qur’an commentary) across various media, from oral traditions to manuscripts, printed books, and now digital platforms. This study explores whether these platforms merely serve as vessels or actively influence a mufassir’s (Qur’an interpreter’s) approach. Focusing on Tafsir al-Qur’an Aktual, published on Bangsaonline.com, it examines how the medium affects interpretative processes. Written by Ahmad Musta’in Syafi’i, a prominent pesantren leader in East Java, this tafsir has appeared in Harian Bangsa newspaper since March 2000, marking the first Indonesian tahlīli tafsir in a newspaper. Employing Howard Giles’ Communication Accommodation Theory, the study reveals that the newspaper medium shaped Musta’in’s interpretations to accommodate lay readers. This influence is reflected in his language style, word choice, and the inclusion of Javanese terms. He also links verses to everyday events to ensure relevance for his audience. However, the study identifies instances of “overaccommodation,” where Musta’in connects verses to contemporary sociopolitical issues, occasionally deviating from their original meanings. This phenomenon, termed “obsessiveactualization,” underscores the media’s role in shaping a mufassir’s interpretative process.

Abstract

The trend of Qur’anic recitation competitions, popularly known as Musabaqah, has grown rapidly across the Muslim globe since its inception at the international level in Malaysia in 1961 as a way to display the importance and value of Quranic recitation and memorization and inspire Muslims to do their best to understand and cherish the divine message of the Quran. This study examines Musabaqah's contribution to promoting Arabic in northern Nigeria, with a focus on Kaduna State. The research uses a qualitative method to collect data through observation and interviews with selected individuals within the state. The findings indicate that Musabaqah has a positive impact on Arabic language learning and use in the state, as it creates a competitive spirit among Muslims to learn more about the Arabic language in order to have a better understanding of the Quran and its sciences and increases community interest in learning Arabic. Therefore, the study recommends that the Nigerian Ministry of Education, in collaboration with the bodies regulating Musabaqah and teaching Arabic and Islamic studies, organize seminars and workshops that promote Arabic and preserve its cultural heritage. Finally, offering incentives, awards, and scholarships will motivate the competitors and enhance their capacity to participate favourably with any of their counterparts globally.
