Abstract

This study examines epigraphy as an innovative and empirically grounded approach to understanding the Qur'an. It aims to analyze Robert Hoyland’s epigraphic discourse in Qur'anic studies, critically assess the factors underlying the emergence of the epigraphic approach, and explore its theoretical implications for contemporary Islamic scholarship. Employing a qualitative research design, this study adopts Van Dijk’s Critical Discourse Analysis as its theoretical framework, as it enables the examination of ideological, historical, and contextual dimensions embedded within epigraphic discourse. This framework is essential for understanding how epigraphy shapes interpretive authority and reconfigures methodological assumptions in Qur'anic studies. The findings demonstrate that the epigraphic approach offers an empirical basis for understanding the Qur'an through inscriptions, manuscripts, and material evidence from the formative period of Islam. This approach is methodologically significant for its capacity to illuminate the historical context of Qur'anic revelation, substantiate the stability of the Qur'anic text, and reveal its dynamic interaction with pre-Islamic cultural and religious traditions. Moreover, the study shows that epigraphy contributes to a transformation of hermeneutical methodology by shifting Qur'anic interpretation toward a historically informed and materially anchored perspective. Theoretically, this research broadens the epistemological horizon of Qur'anic interpretation and underscores the urgency of a multidisciplinary approach in contemporary Qur'anic studies. By situating epigraphy within critical discourse analysis, the study affirms its relevance not merely as an auxiliary tool, but as a significant paradigm in rethinking the foundations of Qur'anic scholarship. Contribution: This research contributes to contemporary Qur'anic studies by critically articulating the epigraphic approach as an alternative epistemological and methodological framework for examining and understanding the Qur'an.

Abstract

Akhism, which flourished in Anatolia from the 13th to the 20th century, was a distinctive socio-economic and moral organization grounded in the ethical teachings of the Qur’an, Hadith, and Sufism. Beyond functioning as a guild for artisans, it served as a social and moral institution that fostered integrity, solidarity, and justice within the community. This study aims to examine how Qur’anic values shaped the ideological foundations and social functions of Akhism within the Ottoman context. Employing a qualitative approach with a cultural-historical focus, the research draws upon diverse sources, including historical documents, Fütüvvetnâme texts, the Qur’an, Hadith, and other records relevant to Akhism. The researcher acts as the primary instrument, applying data reduction, data display, and conclusion-drawing techniques to interpret findings. The analysis reveals that Akhism represented a dynamic synthesis of Qur’anic ethics and Sufi spirituality, operating simultaneously as a moral compass and a social regulator. This study finds that Akhism exemplifies how scriptural values can sustain social harmony, ethical discipline, and cultural resilience within medieval Turkish society. Contribution: This study contributes to understanding the embodiment of Qur’anic ethics in socio-economic structures, offering Akhism as a historical model of Islamic ethical praxis in public life.

Abstract

The application of biblical references in the field of interpretation is not a new phenomenon, but it does not make it a common practice. This study examines Seyyed Hossein Nasr's construct of thought in The Study Quran (TSQ) in the application of the Bible as a reference for interpretation. This application did not arise from a vacuum, but was followed by certain constructive factors that led to the application of biblical references in the framework of The Study Quran. This study uses a qualitative-philosophical method by utilizing John Hick's Religious Inclusivism-Religious approach from John Hick (ultimate reality, inclusivism paradigm, and theocentric model) to highlight the theological dimension, as well as the Philosophical Hermeneutics from Hans-George Gadamer (historical influence, pre-understanding, and assimilation of horizons) in revealing the socio-historical dimension of Seyyed Hossein Nasr. The results of the study show that Seyyed Hossein Nasr assesses the Bible as a text with complex historical value, and that the involvement of the Bible in the realm of interpretation has the purpose of expanding the meaning of the verses of the Qur'an. Given the issue of distortion, this work emphasizes the aspect of distortion of meaning and interpretation rather than distortion of the text. The view of distortion indirectly imposes limitations by placing the Bible as a historical text limited to the functions of historical contextualization and intertextual analysis. In the theological dimension, Seyyed Hossein Nasr's position is inclusive, while in the hermeneutical-philosophical perspective, it shows a hermeneutic situation with intellectual traces and contemporary dynamics, including the 9/11 phenomenon that gave rise to Islamophobia in New York. Given the limitations of the Eastern school in assessing the application of the Bible as presented and the dynamics of the Western school, which is open to cross-traditional references, supported by the 9/11 phenomenon, this shows an effort to bridge two different traditions in the realm of interpretation. Contribution: This study theoretically contributes by integrating John Hick’s religious inclusivism and Gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutics to construct an interreligious interpretive framework that explains Seyyed Hossein Nasr’s inclusive use of biblical references in The Study Quran.
