Abstract

Background and Objectives: This study addresses the patriarchal bias prevalent in traditional Qur’anic exegesis, which often privileges male perspectives and neglects women’s experiences. Such interpretations can lead to gender injustices justified by certain verses. The primary objective is to explore Amina Wadud’s holistic hermeneutic approach, which aims to affirm gender equality in Qur’anic interpretation. Methodology: Employing a qualitative literature-based approach, this research integrates thematic (maudu’i) exegesis, philological analysis, and a women’s perspective. Additionally, the study draws on Hans-Georg Gadamer’s hermeneutic concepts of prejudice, fusion of horizons, and dialogue, thereby enriching a holistic framework for Qur’anic interpretation. Main Findings: The findings indicate that the Qur’an fundamentally supports gender equality. Both men and women share equal rights, obligations, and potentials—whether in worship, social roles, or broader achievements. When examined holistically, verses addressing inheritance, human origins, and gender relations emphasize justice and balance rather than legitimizing any form of gender dominance. Contributions: This research contributes by proposing a more responsive interpretive method that engages contemporary issues of gender equality. The holistic hermeneutic approach encourages re-examining verses often misunderstood in traditional commentary. Consequently, it provides a valuable resource for Islamic education, social policy, and women’s empowerment initiatives. Conclusion: This study concludes that the Qur’an does not endorse patriarchy or matriarchy but rather underscores justice and equality. While the findings remain mostly theoretical, this approach opens avenues for further research on policy implementation and inclusive, gender-just education systems.

Abstract

Background and Objectives: Nūr is one of the Qur'an’s names reflecting its unique function and significance. While nūr generally means “light,” the Qur’an also uses Ḍiyā’, another word for light, though with a different nuance. This study aims to clarify why the Qur’an is called nūr and to explore its significance in guiding human life. Methodology: This literature-based research draws from books, journals, articles, and relevant written sources. Employing Roland Barthes’ semiotics, it conducts two levels of analysis: a linguistic analysis to determine the literal meaning of nūr in QS. Ash-Shura [42]:52 through dictionaries and various tafsīr; and a mythical analysis, examining contextual elements like verse type, historical background, and symbolic references. Main Findings: Nūr signifies a light possessing unique merit, while Ḍiyā’ denotes common illumination without the same distinction. Therefore, the Qur’an is called nūr to emphasize its exalted role. As nūr, the Qur’an serves as a guiding beacon, directing individuals toward truth and righteous conduct. Contributions: This study enriches tafsir literature by clarifying the Qur’an’s purpose as nūr, particularly in QS. Ash-Shura [42]:52. Conclusion: Nūr represents Allah’s power to influence human hearts, guiding them from the darkness of error and immorality to the brightness of faith and virtuous deeds. By fostering a morally upright society, the Qur’an as nūr contributes to peace and harmony in human life

Abstract

Background and Objectives: The seeds of Islamic sects arose immediately after the death of the Prophet and the occurrence of wars between the companions, so each of these sects based their thoughts on a specific position they took in that war. When the number of sects and doctrines increased and different opinions spread in the Islamic faith, a group of Muslim scholars came out to record these opinions and write down the movements of the sects, whether geographically or historically, so as a result, what is called the Ilm al-Maqālāt arose, and this has become an essential part of many books written from the late second century Hijri calendar, some books were specially written in this field, such as the book of Maqālāt al-Islāmiyyin by Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari, while the Maqālāt became a part of other books. Methodology: Al- Nadīm is one of the authors who was concerned with the authorship movement during the three centuries of the Hijri calendar, so he intended to record all the books that fell into his hands in all fields, whether religious or non-religious. Al- Nadīm took care in all this to record the authorship movement of the famous Islamic sects, so he mentioned important information about Islamic sects such as Mu'tazila, Kharijites, Shiites and others, this information is related to the books written sometimes and other times related to the theologians themselves. Main Results: Our article monitored Al-Nadim's interest in this aspect. Research Contribution: This article was divided into an introduction, a conclusion, and three main headings; the introduction mentioned information about al-Fihrist by al- Nadīm, while the main headings dealt with al- Nadīm's life and information about him, the second heading discussed the section on the theologians, and sects, and the last heading shed light on the sources used by al- Nadīm in this section. Conclusion: This study underlines the importance of al-Nadīm's work in documenting the intellectual and theological history of Islamic sects, providing a foundational reference for scholars in Islamic studies and historiography.

Abstract

Background and Objectives: The recurring global economic recession has exacerbated financial challenges, particularly among Muslim families practicing uncontrollable procreation without considering their economic means. This study aims to examine the implications of procreation through the lens of Shari‘ah, emphasizing the correct understanding of Qur’anic and Prophetic guidance on the topic. It seeks to highlight the balance between religious encouragement for procreation and the financial and spiritual responsibilities mandated by Islamic law. Methodology: Employing a doctrinal methodology, the research relies on primary sources—the Qur’an and Hadith—supplemented by secondary materials, including the opinions of classical and contemporary Islamic scholars. Content analysis is used to derive and analyze the relevant principles from these sources. The main results: The study finds that misinterpretations of certain Qur’anic verses (e.g., Chapter 17:31) and Prophetic Hadith on procreation have led to practices of unchecked procreation, compounding financial difficulties for many families. This research contribution: a new dimension by framing procreation within the context of maqasid al-Shari‘ah (objectives of Islamic law), advocating a preventive approach that integrates religious obligations with socio-economic realities. Conclusion: the dual religious and financial responsibilities of parents, as mandated by the Qur’an and Hadith, emphasizing that procreation should be undertaken responsibly to avoid poverty and societal burdens

Abstract

Background and Objectives: There is a growing tendency among some Muslims to neglect the obligatory five daily prayers, despite their fundamental status and unique virtues. One such virtue is evident in the way the prayer was prescribed during the Isra Mi’raj event, where the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) received the command directly from Allah. This study aims to clarify the linkage between prayer and Isra Mi’raj, emphasizing how internalizing the event’s implied messages can enhance one’s prayer quality (khushū’). Methodology: This is a qualitative library-based study that analyzes classical and contemporary Islamic sources, especially fiqh-oriented tafsīr, as well as previous research. The collected data were examined thematically to uncover the spiritual dimensions of prayer influenced by the Isra Mi’raj narrative. Main Results: The findings suggest that neglect in performing prayers often stems from a limited understanding of their spiritual significance. By appreciating the extraordinary context of the Isra Mi’raj—where prayer was commanded without an intermediary—believers can deepen their spiritual connection, leading to more focus and humility in performing prayers. Research Contribution: This study provides a conceptual framework linking the Isra Mi’raj narrative to the inner dimensions of prayer. Such insights can serve as a reference in religious education and spiritual development programs, encouraging a view of prayer not as a mere ritual duty but as a profound spiritual encounter. Conclusions: Grasping the meaningful lessons behind Isra Mi’raj enriches the believer’s prayer experience, promoting a consistent, heartfelt, and morally transformative adherence to this core Islamic obligation

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.
