Abstract

This paper examines Gabriel Said Reynolds’s view of the variety of reading in the Quran, both canonical and non-canonical qiraah, authenticity and its function in the Quranic intrepretation. The majority of Muslim Scholars believe that qiraat in Ottoman Manuscripts are mutawatir and sourced from the Prophet Muhammad saw, while the other qiraat than qiraat contained in Ibn Masud’s Manuscripts, Ubay bin Kaab’s Manuscripts are considered qiraah syazah and are not recognized by Muslim authorities because the chain of sanad is considered problematic. But Gabriel Said Reynolds’s opinion says that the existence of a variety of readings in Ottoman Manuscripts is due to reading speculations carriead out by ancient quran readers due to the absence of dots and diacritical marks in the available texts, making the reader free to sound the word according to his wishes. Reynolds also claimed many qiraat outside the Ottoman Manuscripts which were used by the commentators as justification for his interpretation. Through this study, the authors concluded that Gabriel Said Reynolds doubted the authenticity of qiraat in Ottoman Manuscripts. Reynolds’s view is interesting to study, because it contradicts the general view of Muslim scholars who consider that the existing qiraat is a variety of quran reading which is believed to be sourced directly from the Prophet Muhammad saw.

Abstract

The growing emphasis on historical context in contemporary Quranic studies has stimulated the development of various interpretive approaches, including Fazlur Rahman’s double movement hermeneutics. This article aims to compare the interpretation of Quranic verses with and without Asbab al-Nuzul through the lens of Fazlur Rahman’s hermeneutical framework. The article is written using a qualitative approach with content analysis as its primary method. The data are drawn from Fazlur Rahman’s major works, classical and contemporary tafsir literature, and relevant academic publications. The analysis employs a descriptive-comparative approach by examining the historical context of revelation, identifying universal moral principles, and exploring their relevance to contemporary issues. The analytical findings reveal that both categories of verses are interpreted through the same methodological process, namely moving from the socio-historical context of revelation to the extraction of universal Quranic values and their application to present-day realities. However, verses accompanied by Asbab al-Nuzul provide a clearer historical foundation for interpretation, whereas verses without Asbab al-Nuzul require a more comprehensive and critical socio-historical reconstruction. This study demonstrates that Fazlur Rahman’s hermeneutics offers a systematic and contextual framework for bridging the normative teachings of the Quran with the challenges of contemporary society.
