Book-in-Brief: A Brief Introduction to Qur’anic Exegesis

Generating precise comprehension of the Quran and the true meaning of its verses is arguably the essence of the most important of the Islamic sciences, Qur’anic exegesis or tafsir. Since the passing of the Prophet many scholars have worked hard to bring a proper understanding of the meaning of the Qur’an to Muslims, and indeed to the world at large, as fully as possible, in an attempt to widen knowledge of the guidance contained therein, and how to live life in accordance with its principles. The result has been a wealth of historical Muslim literature on the subject which has come to be known as Ulum al-Tafsir or the sciences of tafsir, a systematic exegesis of the Qur’an following several methodologies. This work traces the evolution of Qur’anic exegesis, from the time of the Prophet, the Companions, the Successors, the early mufassirun (exegetes) with independent tafsir works, to the present day. In doing so, it addresses some major issues including to what extent has tafsir been influenced by differing theological traditions (classical, mystical sufi, persian), political and sectarian interests etc. and how interpretation has differed in some cases, mainly pertaining to juridical, theological, historical, and linguistic issues. Certain scholars and Qur’anic commentaries have stood the test of time and stand in greater prominence to others. Their works are introduced, and different methodologies compared and critiqued. What we are left with is a broad yet important overview of a subject which otherwise can be too complex and extensive for the ordinary reader to grasp acting as a valuable addition to his/her understanding and study of the Qur’anic text.

Al-Shura: The Qur’anic Principle of Consultation

Muslims remain largely unaware of the importance and value of the Qur’anic principle of al-Shura (mutual consultation) and the significant role it can play in the advancement and reform of Muslim society. In this work, the author attempts to introduce and examine key meanings and practices of al-Shura, trace its historical evolution, and explore ways in which the principle can be introduced, institutionalized and applied in Muslim societies. There is no doubt that al-Shura has been sidelined throughout the Muslim world and the reasons for this are both historically and politically complex. According to the author, although much has been written on the subject, in reality it has been at best ineffectively applied and at worst heedlessly ignored. Even today it is a hotly contested issue. As al-Shura is increasingly associated with democratic participation in a decision-making process, debate has ignited with critics challenging the notion of equating the principle with western notions of democracy, with others claiming that the principle allows for a meaning that breaks the grip of centralized power. These and other issues are investigated with careful scholarship. Al-Raysuni concludes that al-Shura should be adopted as a way of life for all Muslims to protect their interests and as a vital tool for reconstruction and reform. In doing so he addresses the subject from some intriguing new angles, giving insight into areas hitherto little, if at all, examined.

Qur'anic Text

Towards a Retrieval System

The feeling that Islamic literature deserves and requires an Islamic classification dcheme has been met with a widespread dissatisfaction among information scientists in the Muslim world. However, indexing the classical Qur'anic exegeses and Hadith collections still requires an initial operation list of both subject headings of both Qur'anic and Hadith texts. The book is based on an investigation of the terminology in the Qur'anic text for the purpose of designing a retrieval system. It makes use of conceptual verses and words as partial examples for the required task. These examples are used to test the factors affecting the design at both the documentary and computation levels. At the documentary level, the examples are used to examine the effects of Qur'anic terminology on the commentators and to see how it affects the performance of the retrieval system. It also examines the characteristics of the Qur'anic vocabulary, against the problems known to be encountered in constructing an efficient retrieval system. On the computation level, the examples are used to examine the possibility of the Qur'an in its stylistic form being processed by the computer. as a result, the study offers guidelines and recommendations with two examples for the natural and social sciences as a model for constructing a retrieval system for Qur'anic text.

SEJARAH PARA NABI

Studi Banding Qur’an Suci Dengan Alkitab

Tujuan utama saya menulis ke publik adalah untuk menyingkirkan konsepsi yang salah bahwa Qur’an Suci bercerita seperti yang diceritakan Alkitab atau tradisi Yahudi dan Kristen. Untuk maksud inilah, saya akan membandingkan kisah dalam Qur’an Suci dengan versi yang terdapat dalam Alkitab, tradisi Yahudi dan Kristen. Kita telah mendapatkan bahwa catatan-catatan dan rekaman terdahulu menggambarkan bahwa para Nabi mempunyai karakter yang rendah, dan Qur’an Suci membersihkan tuduhan tersebut. Kitab Suci seyogianya menceritakan bahwa para Nabi itu telah memperkaya nilai-nilai moral, dan menyingkirkan kontradiksi yang kita jumpai dalam cerita yang faktanya telah dimanipulasi atau tidak dipelihara keasliannya. Upaya berdasarkan bukti yang bersumber dari Wahyu Ilahi inilah, dan bukan dari catatan atau tradisi di mana sumber para Nabi mungkin saja dapat diperoleh, akan dibahas dalam buku ini. Dengan menyingkirkan kekotoran yang dilekatkan kepada para nabi ini, maka Qur’an Suci telah mengembalikan tugas besar dari Alkitab itu sendiri. Ini sesuai dengan misi Qur’an Suci.

Book-in-Brief: Ibn Ashur

Treatise on Maqasid Al-Shariah

Shaikh Muhammad al-Tahir ibn Ashur is the most renowned Zaytuna Imam and one of the great Islamic scholars of the 20th century. The publication of this translation of Shaikh Ibn Ashur’s Treatise on Maqasid al-Shari’ah is a breakthrough in studies on Islamic law in the English language. In this book, Ibn Ashur proposed Maqasid as a methodology for the renewal of the theory of Islamic law, which has not undergone any serious development since the era of the great imams. Ibn Ashur – quite courageously – also addressed the sensitive topic of the intents/Maqasid of Prophet Muhammad (SAAS) behind his actions and decisions. He introduced criteria to differentiate between the Prophetic traditions that were meant to be part of Islamic law and the Prophetic actions/ sayings that were meant to be for the sake of specific purposes such as political leadership, court judgment, friendly advice, and conflict resolution. But Ibn Ashur’s most significant contribution in this book has been the development of new Maqasid by coining new, contemporary, terminology that were never formulated in traditional usul al-fiqh. For example, Ibn Ashur developed the theory of the ‘preservation of lineage’ into ‘the preservation of the family system’, the ‘protection of true belief’ into ‘freedom of beliefs’, etc. He also introduced the concepts of ‘orderliness’, ‘natural disposition’, ‘freedom’, ‘rights’, ‘civility’, and ‘equality’ as Maqasid in their own right, and upon which the whole Islamic law is based. This development opens great opportunities for Islamic law to address current and real challenges for Muslim societies and Muslim minorities.

Proceedings of the Twenty-First Annual Conference of the Association of Muslim Social Scientists

East Lansing, Michigan, October 30-November, 1992

... asked the religious authorities — the turbaned ones — to dissuade him from
reciting a poem.1 In their deliberations to convince him not to engage in politics
during the mawlid, the turbaned ones, who included the mufti (his maternal uncle
), wanted him to see that the govemment of the day was more just than the
Mahdist state whose yoke they had sufferred until its overthrow by the British. To
confound them, al BushI used a parable in which allusions were made to issues
of fiqh.
