Abstract

This article explores Taha Abdurrahman's reconstruction of the political subject's ontology as a critical response to the secular foundations of modern political thought. In contemporary discourse, the political human is often conceptualized as a rational and autonomous agent (homo civicus), detached from any transcendent or moral obligation. Taha challenges this model by reintroducing two foundational Islamic concepts: al-amanah (divine trust) and al-mīṯāq (primordial covenant). He redefines the political subject as homo moralis, a moral-spiritual being tasked with ethical responsibility toward God and society. Through his iʾtimāniyyah paradigm, Taha offers a political ontology grounded not in power competition, but in moral accountability, ethical testimony, and self-purification (tazkiyah). This article situates Taha's ideas within broader currents in contemporary Islamic philosophy, comparing them to Seyyed Hossein Nasr's perennialism, Mohammed Arkoun's deconstruction, and Abdolkarim Soroush's epistemic pluralism. It argues that Taha's integration of moral theology, linguistic ethics, and spiritual epistemology presents a robust alternative to secular political rationality. Ultimately, Taha's thought lays the groundwork for a renewed Islamic political ontology where governance and citizenship are oriented toward transcendence, moral excellence, and divine remembrance.

Abstract

This research analyses the development of living Qur'an studies between 2005 and 2025 using the keywords “Living Qur’an”, “Living Al-Qur’an”, "Living Al-Quran", and “Living Al-Quran,” with two keywords containing no apostrophe. Data scraping and analysis rely on a bibliometric approach by analyzing utilizing tools such as R, VOSviewer, and Microsoft Excel to see the development of living Qur'an studies from the category of publications per year, average article citations, most publication sources, local impact of publication sources, most productive authors, most affiliated sources, and most cited documents globally in the database. The steps taken to categorize the data are as follows: determining keywords, searching for data, selecting articles, checking the validity of the data, and finally, analysis. The results showed that, since the emergence of the Living Qur'an from 2005 to 2025, the trend increased significantly from 2016 to 2022, peaking in 2022 with 99 articles. However, despite the increase in quantity, the academic impact of these articles is limited, as reflected in the journal's h-index. This finding also suggests that a university’s collective interest and productivity in the Living Qur'an discourse is not related to the presence of the discourse specialists in the given university.
