Abstract

Previous scholarship on al-Shāfī‘ī qirā’āt has largely examined sanad genealogy, the authenticity of Qur’anic readings, and their legal implications as discrete issues, leaving the underlying epistemological coherence insufficiently theorized. This article analyzes the genealogy of al-Shāfī‘ī’s qirā’āt, evaluates their authenticity according to Ibn al-Jazarī’s criteria, and investigates their relationship to tafsīr and legal reasoning through al-Shāṭibī’s coherence theory. Using a historical-analytical approach, it integrates sand analysis, comparative qirā’āt examination, and hermeneutical analysis of representative legal cases. The findings demonstrate that al-Shāfī‘ī was genealogically affiliated with Ibn Kathir’s reading tradition while exercising methodological independence through selected readings shaped by the scholarly traditions of the Hijaz, Basra, and Kufa. Most of the readings underlying his legal arguments are mutawātir, whereas non-canonical reports function primarily as interpretive rather than normative authorities. These findings establish an integrated epistemological framework linking qirā’āt, tafsir, and legal reasoning, thereby advancing Qur’anic Studies and us}ūl al-fiqh by redefining the role of qirā’āt in classical Islamic legal methodology.

Abstract

Contrary to its reputation as a unified magnum opus, Tafsīr al-Taḥrīr wa al-Tanwīr is marked by a sharp methodological rupture spanning four decades. By dismantling the prevailing synchronic readings, this study exposes the diachronic evolution of Ibn ‘Āshūr’s exegetical paradigm. Using a qualitative method, a historical approach, and maqāṣidī tafsīr analysis, this study reveals a significant shift from the tradition-based approach (tafsīr bi al-ma’thūr) to a more contextual, reflective, and goal-oriented approach to sharī‘ah (maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah). This methodological shift not only reflects Ibn ‘Āshūr’s intellectual response to the complexities of the times but also confirms the role of his tafsīr as an important work in the development of contemporary tafsīr methodologies that are adaptive, humanistic, and oriented towards problem-solving. The findings of this study confirm that Tafsīr al-Taḥrīr wa al-Tanwīr is not only a significant work of modern exegesis but also an important foundation in the formation of a tafsīr paradigm that addresses the challenges of modernity without abandoning the roots of classical scientific authority.

Abstract

A notable aspect of the discovery of an ancient Qur’anic manuscript in the Bugis Suwung Village, Bali, is the presence of hadiths on faḍā’il al-suwar (the virtues of the Qur’anic surahs) inscribed on either side of each surah. Nevertheless, this specific domain has not been the subject of any prior study. The present paper, therefore, examines the genealogical and constructive relationship of this domain with the genealogical influences of al-Bayḍāwī in the Archipelago. Adopting a historical approach that incorporates Walid Saleh’s genealogical tradition, this study uses data from authoritative sources and associated documentary evidence. The findings indicate that these ḥadīths are directly sourced from al-Bayḍāwī’s Anwār al-Tanzīl as ‘inherited corpus materials’. Despite being categorized as mawḍu‘ (fabricated), these hadiths are recognized as a catalyst for Qur’anic learning, with the objective of encouraging a deepened love for the Qur’an within the context of a minority Muslim community situated within a predominantly Hindu Balinese cultural milieu. This 17th-century manuscript, adorned with Bugis-Makassar artistic styles, offers historical evidence of the transmission and adaptation of the classical exegetical tradition within the local cultural landscape. This study contributes to the discourse of Islamic intellectual history in the Archipelago by highlighting the dialectical dynamics among religious texts, pedagogical practices, and local socio-cultural contexts. It also demonstrated that, despite its status as a Qur’anic manuscript, the text is associated with the genealogical tradition of tafsīr.

Abstract

This article examines the political and ideological dimensions of contemporary Sunni Qur’anic exegesis through a comparative analysis of Sayyid Quṭb and Majd Makki. It focuses on Fī Ẓilāl al-Qur’ān and al-Mu‘īn ‘alā Tadabbur al-Kitāb al-Mubīn to explore how each scholar articulates the relationship between scripture and political order. The study employs a qualitative library-based approach, using comparative content analysis to examine key themes, interpretive strategies, and socio-political contexts shaping both works. The findings show that Quṭb advances a movement-oriented hermeneutics (manhaj ḥarakī) that frames the Qur’an as a basis for systemic resistance against secular authority through the concept of ḥākimīyah. In contrast, Makki develops a contemplative (tadabbur-based) approach that increasingly incorporates themes of democracy, pluralism, and anti-authoritarianism, particularly in response to the Syrian revolution and its digital discourses. This study argues that the contrast between the two reflects a broader shift in Sunni political exegesis from ideological, system-driven Islamism toward a more pragmatic and context-responsive neo-Islamism. It contributes to the study of religion and politics by demonstrating how Qur’anic interpretation functions as a dynamic site of ideological negotiation and political praxis in the modern Muslim world.
