Abstract

This paper presents a proposal for a modern curriculum for Arabic that includes answers to questions related to its syntax, inflection, and derivation. To introduce the proposal, the paper discusses a problem related to theoretical linguistic research conducted on Arabic, which is that most of these studies aim only to refine the linguistic theories and improve the theoretical frameworks, rather than serving the Arabic language. This paper, therefore, presents a proposal related to the future investigations of Arabic within modern theoretical frameworks, to be implemented within a cultural scheme or an intellectual initiative that utilizes the efforts, knowledge, and interests of the Arab scholars and students of Arabic for the purpose of finding new answers to various questions related to the constructions and properties of Arabic. The paper then provides examples of the linguistic questions and cultural issues that may be investigated using the modern linguistic theories and frameworks, so that new answers may be reached. The paper illustrates the advantages of such a program in terms of enhancing the interests of the new generations in investigating Arabic and studying it using the effective methods, as well as developing the students’ analysis, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities at all stages.

Abstract

Background and Objectives: This study emerges from the need to understand semantic shifts in the Qurʾān more comprehensively, particularly for the terms “qāʾil” and “al-Amānah,”. The main objective is to show that the words of the Holy Qurʾān may acquire new meanings or usages, based on various factors, and that the expanded meanings of Qurʾānic words have implications for the overall understanding of the respective verses. The methodology involves reference to classical and modern lexicons, as well as contextual inquiries grounded in tafsīr literature. The data were analyzed qualitatively by integrating different perspectives.  The main results: “qāʾil,” commonly understood as “one who speaks,” may also refer to “one at midday,” while “al-Amānah” does not necessarily refer to “material trusts or religious rites," but also to the "human intellect and the obligation to exercise it to find God" based on the evidence for the existence of God. These semantic developments pave the way for a richer and more responsive understanding of the Qurʾān, resonating with current scholarly discourse. Contribution, this research proposes an integrative “textual-contextual” approach that highlights semantic, historical, and scientific elements. Such a framework can enrich scholars’ efforts in interpreting Qurʾānic verses and relating them to social realities and advances in knowledge. Conclusion, the expanded meanings of these two terms affirm that Qurʾānic interpretation is dynamic. By considering linguistic, historical, and modern contexts, this study offers fresh insights that bring the Qurʾān closer to contemporary understanding, without dismissing the enduring value of classical tafsīr.
