Abstract

This study examines the exegetical methodology of Hasan al-Turabi in al-Tafsīr al-Tawḥīdī, a work distinguished by its tawḥīdī (unificationist) and ḥarakī (activist) framework. Using content analysis and ideological critique, this study dissects its epistemological foundations and interpretive strategies. The findings reveal several key characteristics. First, the concept of tawḥīd is not merely interpreted theologically but is operationalized as an epistemological principle and methodological foundation for a socio-political reform project. Second, his method selectively combines traditional sources (tafsīr bi al-riwāyah) with a dominant rational reasoning (tafsīr bi al-dirāyah), aligning with his ideological framework. Third, its structure employs a tahlīlī (analytical-sequential) method yet with a strong thematic touch through its tripartite systematics: a preface (khulāṣah hadī al-sūrah), a structural summary (tartīl al-ma‘ānī), and a detailed contemporary analysis (‘umūm al-ma‘ānī). Fourth, its interpretive flow is analytic-inductive, moving from a holistic overview of the sūrah to specific meanings, thereby building an action-oriented systemic paradigm. However, the analysis also reveals several fundamental weaknesses. A heavy reliance on ra'y, while sidelining the corpus of Hadith, creates space for the instrumentalization of the text for ideological purposes. Furthermore, his work is criticized for its limited methodological originality and inconsistent application of his method, suggesting a potential selective bias. This study offers a structured methodological assessment, sharply highlighting the dynamics and limitations of the tafsīr ḥarakī genre within contemporary Islamic discourse.

Abstract

This study revisits the prohibition of khamr through a multidisciplinary lens to address the challenges of modern addictive substance abuse. Its objective is to test the compatibility of the Qur'anic prohibition with evidence from neuroscience and toxicology, while simultaneously formulating a contextual Islamic legal framework. This study develops an epistemological convergence matrix that maps neurobiological and toxicological indicators as the ‘illah (effective cause) of law within the framework of Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah. The methodology combines a thematic exegesis (tafsīr mawḍū‘ī) of verses on khamr, a comparative analysis of five schools of jurisprudence (madhāhib), and a synthesis of laboratory data on the neurological, physiological, and social damage caused by alcohol, cocaine, heroin, and synthetic psychoactive substances. Validity is maintained through triangulation with experts in exegesis, neurology, and toxicology. The findings indicate an expansion of the definition of khamr from fermented beverages to the functional category of “any substance that envelops the intellect.” Brain imaging reveals a reduction in dopamine receptors and hypofunction of the prefrontal cortex; toxicological data show a narrow margin of exposure and systemic organ damage. A matrix based on Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah affirms that addictive substances simultaneously threaten the preservation of intellect (ḥifẓ al-‘aql), life (ḥifẓ al-nafs), property (ḥifẓ al-māl), progeny (ḥifẓ al-nasl), and religion (ḥifẓ al-dīn). The convergence of exegesis and science yields an integrated policy model: legal prohibition, neuroscience-based education, and spiritual rehabilitation proven to reduce relapse rates. This study concludes that the Qur'anic prohibition of khamr possesses strong empirical rationality, while also providing an ethical foundation for narcotics regulation in contemporary Muslim societies. The findings underscore the importance of sustained transdisciplinary dialogue to respond to the emergence of new synthetic substances and to evaluate the effectiveness of Maqāṣid-based policies.
