Abstract

This article, Rethinking Moral Ambiguity in the Qur’an: A Descriptive–Interpretive Meta-Ethical Analysis, examines how the Qur’an constructs moral value and moral knowledge in ways that generate, rather than eliminate, ethical ambiguity. The study aims (1) to explore the ontological status of moral value in the Qur’an, (2) to analyse the epistemic relationship between reason and revelation in Qur’anic ethics, and (3) to conceptualise moral ambiguity as a hermeneutical resource for ethical deliberation. Methodologically, this research is library-based and employs a descriptive–interpretive reading of selected Qur’anic verses related to key ethical concepts such as khayr, birr, maʿrūf, ʿaql, and shukr, combined with an analytical–comparative dialogue with classical and contemporary Islamic ethical thought and meta-ethical debates on divine command theory and moral realism. The analysis shows, first, that the Qur’an affirms an objective and purposive moral order while simultaneously grounding it in divine will and teleology. Second, the Qur’an attributes a significant epistemic role to human reason and moral intuition, yet subjects them to continuous correction and guidance by revelation. Third, the Qur’an deliberately maintains moral tensions and antinomies, which function as an apparatus for moral transformation rather than a defect to be theologically resolved. The article, therefore, proposes a meta-ethical framework that understands Qur’anic moral ambiguity as intrinsic to scriptural ethics and argues that preserving rather than suppressing this ambiguity opens a productive space for contemporary Islamic ethical reasoning.

Abstract

This study aims to examine Mohammad Mojtahed Shabestari’s intellectual reform in post-revolutionary Iran by investigating how the qerā’at-e rasmī (official reading) becomes plausible and how it can be theologically dismantled. Using a qualitative conceptual-textual analysis of Shabestari’s major works, supported by selected secondary literature, the article reconstructs his shift from a dictation model of waḥy to revelation as dialogical prophetic experience (blick) and the Qur’an as the Prophet’s historically mediated reading of the world. It then explicates a dual-layer hermeneutics (prophetic and communal) and argues that hermeneutics functions as a foundational epistemic framework for tafsīr, fiqh, and kalām. The findings indicate that Shabestari’s project delegitimizes interpretive monopoly, enables contextual ijtihād, and supports interpretive pluralism and political minimalism centered on freedom of faith. A procedural reading of qiṣāṣ illustrates how the model can yield restorative, dignity-oriented normative outputs. The novelty lies in integrating Shabestari’s revelation theory and authority critique into a single hermeneutical canvas with demonstrable ethical, legal, and political consequences.

Abstract

This paper critically examines the construction of modern subjectivity within Islamic discourse, particularly through modern Qur’anic commentaries, and its implications for understanding the concept of “khalīfah.” Modern interpretations often reinforce anthropocentric essentialism, Cartesian dualism, and individual metaphysics, which situate humans as dominators over nonhuman creation, separate the spiritual from the material, and isolate individuals from other subjects. Through an analysis of hermeneutical engagement of prominent modern Muslim exegetes on the Qur’anic concept of khalīfah, this study identifies patterns of anthropocentric essentialism, dualistic thinking, and individual metaphysics in modern understanding of khalīfah. The research then explores how these frameworks limit ecological and relational understandings of khalīfah. In response, this paper proposes a posthumanist and performative reimagining of khalīfah based on relational metaphysics by drawing on contemporary philosophical perspectives. This reinterpretation shifts from human-centered dominion toward a recognition of the dynamic intra-action between human and nonhuman agents, offering a more holistic and ethically responsible interpretation aligned with the Qur’anic vision of interconnected creation
