Abstract

This study aims to analyze the concepts of amr (command) and nahy (prohibition) by integrating the perspectives of Arabic linguistics, Qur'anic exegesis, and usul fiqh. It explains how linguistic structures, interpretive methods, and legal theories shape the understanding of these normative expressions in Islamic texts. This study employed a qualitative library research approach. Data were collected from the Qur'an, Hadith, classical and contemporary Qur’anic exegesis, Arabic linguistic literature, and usul fiqh references. The data were analyzed using content and conceptual analysis to identify, compare, and synthesize the meanings and legal implications of amr and nahy. The findings reveal that amr and nahy cannot be understood through grammatical analysis alone. Their meanings are constructed through the interaction of semantic, pragmatic, contextual, exegetical, and usul fiqh perspectives, producing a more comprehensive understanding of Islamic normative texts. This study contributes to interdisciplinary Islamic legal studies by providing an integrated analytical framework that connects language, interpretation, and legal reasoning for researchers, educators, and scholars. The originality of this study lies in its integrative conceptual framework, which synthesizes Arabic linguistic theory, Qur'anic interpretation, and usul fiqh methodology into a unified model. Unlike previous studies that examined amr and nahy from a single disciplinary perspective, this research offers a holistic understanding of the dynamic relationship between language, interpretation, and legal formulation in Islamic studies.
