Abstract

This study explores epigraphy as an innovative approach to understanding the Qur'an. This article describes the epigraphic discourse used by Hoyland to understand the Qur'an, critiques various factors behind the emergence of the epigraphic approach in Qur'anic studies, and analyzes the theoretical implications of Robert Hoyland's epigraphic discourse. This article is classified as qualitative research. While looking for comprehensive results, this article adopts Analisis wacana kritis Van Dijk dipilih sebagai kerangka teoretis karena memungkinkan pembongkaran dimensi ideologis dan kontekstual dalam diskursus epigrafi, yang essential untuk memahami bagaimana pendekatan ini membentuk interpretasi terhadap Al-Qur'an serta implikasinya dalam studi Islam kontemporer. The results of the study prove that epigraphy provides empirical understanding of the Qur'an through inscriptions and manuscripts from the formative period of Islam. The validity of this approach is supported by its ability to reveal historical dimensions, confirm textual stability, and uncover dynamics with pre-Islamic traditions. The implications include a transformation of hermeneutical methodology and a redefinition of Qur'anic studies. This study broadens the epistemological horizons of Qur'anic interpretation and affirms the urgency of a multidisciplinary approach. Contribution: This research has a contribution value as a discourse of contemporary Qur'anic studies by presenting the Epigraphic approach to examine and understand 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 Employing a qualitative approach with a cultural-historical focus, the research draws upon diverse sources, including historical documents, Fütüvvetnâme texts, the Qur’an, Hadith, and other records relevant to Akhism.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.
