Muqātil ibn Sulaymān: a neglected figure in the early history of Qur'ānic Commentary

Tohe, Achmad 12 March 2016 (has links)
This study investigates Muqātil ibn Sulaymān's (d. 150/767) hermeneutics in his three extant Qur'an commentaries: al-Tafsῑr al-Kabῑr, Tafsῑr al-Khams Mi'at Āyah min al-Qur'ān, and al-Wujūh wa al-Naẓā'ir fῑ al-Qur'ān al-‛Aẓῑm. It explains Muqātil's understanding of the Qur'an, his exegetical approaches, and the theological concerns undergirding his endeavors. Despite his early importance, Muqātil is an understudied figure because of stigma attached to his views and methods. Later Muslim tradition accused Muqātil of anthropomorphism, inattention to transmission chains, fabrication of ḥadῑth (prophetic traditions), and overreliance on biblical narratives, thus rendering his work theologically and methodologically suspect. Two of these accusations are unfounded, and two are only partially correct but misleading as well as anachronistic. Existing modern scholarship on Muqātil and his commentaries has either focused on these accusations or on uncovering his views on specific topics. None has addressed Muqātil's hermeneutics, the focus of this study. Substantively, Muqātil maintains that the Qur'an consists of divine commands, prohibitions, promises, threats, and narratives of the past. Linguistically, the Qur'an is a complex structure containing utterances of different kinds, which he presents in a series of binaries: general-particular, clear-vague, equivocal-unequivocal, explicit-implicit, and so forth. Consequently, a proper understanding of the Qur'an necessitates interpretation. Muqātil uses three major exegetical methods, namely paraphrasing, crossreferencing, and narrative, and three techniques, namely fragmentation, specification, and completion. Muqātil's commentaries persistently focus on theological concerns revolving around the propagation of belief (ῑmān), in opposition to disbelief (kufr), with regard to the oneness of God (tawḥῑd) and the validity of Muhammad's prophethood (taṣdῑq). He uses theological criteria to evaluate non-Muslim communities as well as Muslims who had shown distrust of or rebellious acts against the Prophet Muhammad. Though theologically uncompromising, Muqātil is legally a pragmatist with regard to interreligious coexistence, especially in his conception of muḥkamāt al-Qur'ān as the perennially unchanging elements of revelation, which serves as the "Islamic Decalogue," laying a common ground for interreligious relations. Furthermore, Muqātil is ethically pacifist in advancing his uncompromising theology, including in propagating tawḥῑd and taṣdῑq and in understanding jihad not merely as an armed fight but also as civilized acts undertaken for God's cause. / 2016-10-01T00:00:00Z

The application of Qur'ān and Hadith in the teaching of life skills in Muslim schools in South Africa

Khan, Sadia 11 1900 (has links)
The application of Qur'ān and Hadith in the teaching of life skills in Muslim schools in South Africa. This study explores the application of Qur‟ān and Hadith in the teaching of life skills, as part of the Islamic Studies curriculum, at Muslim schools. The study further discusses the need to equip learners at Muslim schools with the necessary skills, values, attitudes and orientations that are conducive to greater participation in adulthood. The study is aimed at examining the potential of an Islamic perspective to meet these needs. The discussion focuses on five areas: health development, personal development, social development, physical development and orientation to the world of work. The research reveals that the Islamic Studies curriculum can be holistically integrated with life skills development, and the Qur‟ān and Hadith can make a significant contribution for the optimal implementation of this learning area. Muslim schools are urged to implement the recommendations made in this study. The sustained training of educators and the continuous development of learning support materials is needed to ensure that this learning area achieves its objectives. / Religious Studies and Arabic / M.A. (Islamic Studies)

Creation and Contemplation: The cosmology of the Qur'ān and Its Late Antique Background

Decharneux, Julien 28 April 2021 (has links) (PDF)
Notre thèse de doctorat s’attache à l’étude de la cosmologie du Coran à la lumière des sources cosmologiques de l’Antiquité tardive. La thématique est traitée selon trois axes principaux :1) la contemplation naturelle du Coran ;2) la doctrine coranique de la création ;3) les représentations cosmologiques du Coran.Dans la première partie de ce travail de doctorat, nous étudions les nombreux passages où le Coran invite son audience à contempler les phénomènes cosmiques, appelés « signes » (āyāt), afin d’y trouver le divin. Le Coran en effet promeut la possibilité́ d’acquérir par la contemplation du cosmos une connaissance de Dieu et de son plan salvifique pour le monde et l'humanité. En ceci, nous montrons que le Coran s’inscrit dans le prolongement d'une tradition contemplative déjà présente dans le judaïsme hellénisé (par ex. Philon d’Alexandrie) et se développant chez les Pères de l'Église grecs puis syriaques. Nous avons mis en évidence les liens que le Coran entretient avec cet antique système contemplatif sur les plans structurels, thématiques, et même parfois linguistiques, tout en cherchant à cerner l’originalité du texte coranique en la matière. Notre recherche suggère que la théologie naturelle du Coran entretient des liens particulièrement étroits (correspondances structurelles, thématiques, linguistiques) avec l’une des branches chrétiennes de cette tradition, l’Église syriaque d’Orient. Dans la deuxième partie de notre travail, nous nous intéressons à la teneur du message divin que le croyant acquiert au travers cette contemplation naturelle. Ici, nous nous intéressons tout particulièrement à l’emphase mise dans le texte sur l’idée que la Création pointe par ses « signes » vers l’idée d’un unique créateur dans l’univers auquel rien n’est associé. Une série de doctrines cosmologiques supportées dans le Coran s’inscrivent en effet dans le cadre d’une défense de la doctrine de l’unicité divine. Nous indiquons comment, pour illustrer cette position théologique, le Coran puise dans un répertoire d’arguments cosmologiques bien connus de l’Antiquité tardive, notamment chrétienne. Nous notons toutefois qu’un certain nombre de doctrines cosmologiques particulièrement populaires dans la littérature chrétienne à cette époque, comme par exemple la doctrine de la création ex nihilo, ne trouvent pas d’écho direct dans le Coran en dépit de l’intérêt qu’elles auraient pu représenter pour soutenir la doctrine de l’unicité de Dieu. Ce silence invite à une réflexion sur la nature de l'influence exercée par la sphère chrétienne dans le Coran, sur la nature du texte coranique lui-même, ainsi que sur l'identité de ses auteurs.Enfin, la troisième partie de notre recherche touche aux représentations cosmologiques du Coran à proprement parler. Nous montrons comment l’imagerie cosmologique qui y est déployée est extrêmement proche de la manière dont certains auteurs chrétiens et surtout syriaques (Éphrem de Nisibe, Narsai, Jacques de Saroug, etc.), dépeignaient le monde dans les quelques siècles qui précèdent l’émergence du Coran. Toutefois, nous montrons que la cosmologie du Coran ne se laisse pas réduire à une simple reprise de traditions antérieures. Tout en témoignant de l’influence d’autres courants cosmologiques, notamment juifs, le texte coranique propose une cosmologie nouvelle et originale qui reflète la créativité des auteurs de ce texte. / Doctorat en Sciences des religions / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished
