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.

Abstract

This Article examines the concept of rahmatan lil-‘alamin in the Qur’an as an ethical foundation in responding to the humanitarian conflict in Palestine. Amid ongoing oppression, violence, and human rights violations, Qur’anic values such as compassion, justice, forgiveness, and respect for human dignity are often marginalized by political and power interests. The main problem addressed in this research is how the concept of rahmatan lil-‘alamin can be understood through a maqāṣid al-Qur’an approach and its relevance to the Palestine–Israel conflict. This study employs a qualitative approach using library research methods. The primary data consist of QS. Ali Imran [3]:159, Az-Zumar [39]:53, Al-Anbiya [21]:107, and Luqman [31]:18, analyzed through a maqāṣid al-Qur’an perspective with Ibn ‘Āshūr’s At-Taḥrīr wa At-Tanwīr as the main exegetical reference. Secondary data are drawn from academic journals, books, and international human rights reports. The findings indicate that these verses emphasize gentleness, consultation, forgiveness, hope in divine mercy, and the rejection of arrogance and violence in social relations. These values align with the principles of human rights protection, particularly for vulnerable groups such as women and children in Palestine. Therefore, rahmatan lil-‘alamin is not merely a theological concept but also carries social, cultural, and humanitarian implications as a foundation for establishing justice, peace, and human dignity in a prolonged conflict situation Palestine-Israel.
