This dissertation brings together his thought in two apparently disparate discourses, uṣūl al-fiqh (jurisprudence) and iʿjāz al-Qurʾān (inimitability of the Qurʾān), to highlight how these discourses are actually in dialogue with each other. It explores the centrality of al-Bāqillānī’s theory of language in his thought and devotes particular attention to his understanding of the role of figurative language. In his jurisprudential work al-Taqrīb wa-l-irshād fī uṣūl al-fiqh (Proximation and Guidance on the Roots of Law), al-Bāqillānī redefines keywords in Islamic discourse in ways that support his vision of Qurʾānic and human language use. He emphasizes the argument that all language, even figurative language, is systematically understandable according to rules, thereby establishing a consistent basis for legal and theological interpretation. Al-Bāqillānī’s text on the literary inimitability of the Qurʾān provides another, consistent aspect of his theory of language. His Kitāb Iʿjāz al-Qurʾān (Book of the Inimitability of the Qurʾān) sheds light on al-Bāqillānī’s theory of the relationship between aesthetics and meaning. He distinguishes between rhetorical features that are deeply connected with expressing ideas, which contribute to the Qurʾān’s rhetorical inimitability, and ornamental figures, which do not. In both texts, al-Bāqillānī explains the meanings of contested terms (including muḥkam, mutashābih, and bayān) in consistent ways that support his own arguments. The understandability and clarity of utterances, and particularly the Qurʾān, emerge as a central concern of al-Bāqillānī’s thought. He establishes the expressive clarity of the Qurʾān as both a sign of its inimitability and a verification of its understandability, thereby setting the practice of exegesis on a stable theoretical footing. In this way, al-Bāqillānī proposes a resolution to the tension between views of the Qurʾān as rhetorical miracle and the Qurʾān as a reliably interpretable basis for Islamic doctrine and law. 1 Table of Contents Acknowledgements ............................................................................................................. iii Chapter One: Introduction .................................................................................................. 1 Introduction ...................................................................................................................................... 1 Language in the Medieval Arabo-Islamic World ......................................................................... 5 Al-Bāqillānī’s Biography .................................................................................................................. 7 Al-Bāqillānī’s Works ......................................................................................................................... 9 Al-Bāqillānī’s Audiences and Socio-Political Context ............................................................... 10 Al-Bāqillānī on Miracles ................................................................................................................ 13 Questions of Translation and Interpretation ............................................................................. 17 Ḥaqīqa and Majāz: The Concepts and Their Origins ................................................................... 21 Points of Comparison..................................................................................................................... 30 Conclusion ....................................................................................................................................... 33 Chapter Two: Clarity and Communicativity in al-Taqrīb wa-l-irshād fī uṣūl al-fiqh ............ 34 Introduction .................................................................................................................................... 34 The Text ........................................................................................................................................... 35 Focus on Language ......................................................................................................................... 38 Al-Bāqillānī’s Emphasis on Signification and Communication ............................................... 41 The Arabic Qurʾān and the Issue of Subjectivity ....................................................................... 43 Bayān ................................................................................................................................................ 46 Explicit and Implicit Expression .................................................................................................. 53 Clarity and Consistency: Muḥkam Speech ................................................................................... 57 Mutashābihāt: Allowing Multivalence of an Utterance ............................................................. 63 Conclusion ....................................................................................................................................... 73 Chapter Three: Shifting Boundaries of Meaning: Majāz, Technical Usage, and Qiyās of Names in the Taqrīb ........................................................................................................... 75 Introduction .................................................................................................................................... 75 Ḥaqīqa and Majāz: Meaning beyond Set-Down Boundaries ...................................................... 76 Idiomatic Language: Majāz through Established Limiting of Word Use ................................ 89 i Majāz vs. Technical Vocabulary ................................................................................................... 92 A Case of Limiting Language’s Signification: Rejecting Qiyās of a Name ............................... 94 Qurʾān: Exception or Prototype?

    Theatre for Change 1 Editorial ‘The very process of the workshop does so much for women. The process is an end in itself. For women who are not given to articulating their views, women who are not given to exploring their bodies in a creative way, for feeling good, for feeling fresh. Just doing physical and breathing exercises is a liberating experience for them. Then sharing experiences with each other and discovering that they are not insane, you know, discovering that every woman has dissatisfaction and negative feelings, touching other lives . When you come together in a space, you develop a trust, sharing with each other, enjoying just being in this space, enjoying singing and creating, out of your own experiences, your own plays’—Tripurari Sharma Theatre as process—workshopping—is an empowering activity. It encourages self- expression, develops self-confidence and communication skills, and promotes teamwork, cooperation, sharing. It is also therapeutic, helping individuals to probe within and express—share—deeply emotional experiences. Role-playing enables one to ‘enact’ something deeply personal that one is not otherwise able to express, displacing it and rendering it ‘safe’, supposedly ‘fictionalized’. In short, workshopping can be a liberatory experience. For women who, in our society especially, are not encouraged to develop an intimacy with their bodies, who are conditioned to be ashamed or uncomfortable about their physicality, the process of focusing on the body, on exercises which change one’s awareness of and relationship with and deployment of one’s body, offers an additional benefit, opening up a dimension of physicality which is normally out of bounds.

E-mail: [email protected] _________________________ Abstract In the early nineteenth century, modern scholars started to explore materials of Quranic studies through the historical criticism approach. New arguments were presented in challenging the traditional account of the formation of the Quran with a various range of theory. It seems that the most radical assessment was demonstrated by John Wansbrough in his exceptional works ―Quranic Studies: Sources and Methods of Scriptural‖. The literary analysis which was used by John Wansbrough in his Quranic study discovered a new theory about the history of Quranic formatian. This article aims to explore the theory of late crystallization of the Quran as proposed by John Wansbrough. This study is a qualitative research uses the study of the comparative and textual analysis. The result study asserts that Wansbrough’s theory is a new discovery which given an impact and a new path in the Quranic studies. His conclusion is not accepted by all scholars. Some scholars regarded Wansbrough’s evidence that he used as an argument is not absolutely convincing. Keywords: Quran; criticism; John Wansbrough; crystallization. __________________________ Abstrak Pada awal abad kesembilan belas, sarjana moden telah mulai menggali bahan-bahan terkait kajian al-Qur’an melalui pendekatan kritik sejarah.

  • 1 the Study of Islam's Origins Since W. Montgomery Watt's Publications Fred M. Donner
    The Study of Islam’s Origins since W. Montgomery Watt’s Publications Fred M. Donner (The University of Chicago) Presented Friday, November 23, 2015, at the University of Edinburgh I wish to thank Dr. Anthony Gorman of Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies, and Professor Hugh Goddard of the Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Centre, and their colleagues for honoring me with the invitation to speak at this important occasion, celebrating Professor William Montgomery Watt’s long and distinguished career at Edinburgh. Montgomery Watt (1909-2006) was one of the most important and respected scholar of Islamic studies alive when I was beginning my scholarly career in the late 1960s and early 1970s—certainly, he was one of the most important for me, although, unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to meet him in person. His numerous studies—above all his works on the prophet Muḥammad1 and his several short introductory volumes in the Edinburgh University Press’s “Islamic Surveys” series (which, I believe, he may have instigated), especially his Islamic Philosophy and Theology (1962) and Islamic Political Thought: the basic concepts (1968)—were, on the one hand, models of lucid, careful scholarship and, on the other, incredibly helpful introductions to various topics within Islamic studies. Without his work to learn from and absorb, I know that my own development as a scholar would have been far more difficult, and much less pleasant. 1 W. Montgomery Watt, Muhammad at Mecca (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1953); idem, Muhammad at Medina (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1956); idem, Muhammad, Prophet and Statesman (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1961).

  • THE QUR'an in ITS HISTORICAL CONTEXT.Pdf
    THE QUR’AN IN ITS HISTORICAL CONTEXT The Qur’an in Its Historical Context is a remarkable work of primary source scholarship on the Qur’an. While most studies address the Qur’an through the retrospective lens of later Islamic commentaries, the present work presents a contextual perspective. The reader is challenged herein to consider, first, the great debates over the meaning of the Qur’an and, second, the new research that claims to present a definitive solution to those debates. In Part 1, the authors consider, and advance, theories for a new understanding of the Qur’an’s interpretation. The question of Christoph Luxenberg’s Syro-Aramaic reading is debated, as is the importance of newly discovered early Arabic inscriptions. In Part 2, the authors place the Qur’an within the Late Antique religious milieu, demonstrating its conversation with Jewish and Christian literature. In Part 3, the authors consider the Islamic tradition of Qur’an interpretation, and ask how scientific research relates to religious tradition. Collectively the essays herein present a new approach to the study of the Qur’an. This approach will allow scholars to shed new light on the Qur’anic passages that have been shrouded in mystery and debate. It will also illuminate the Qur’an’s relationship to Judaism and Christianity, thereby demonstrating the Qur’an’s place in a shared Jewish–Christian–Islamic tradition. As this collection of distinguished authors represents a distinct sub-field within Qur’anic Studies, students and specialists will welcome this volume in order to get to know the state-of-the-art methods within this specific sphere of scholarship.

  • Otentisitas Al-Qur'an Perspektif John Wansbrough
    USHULUNA: JURNAL ILMU USHULUDDIN Vol. 5, No. 2, Desember 2019, (212-231) ISSN: 2460-9692; E-ISSN: 2721-754X http://journal.uinjkt.ac.id/index.php/una OTENTISITAS AL-QUR’AN PERSPEKTIF JOHN WANSBROUGH Ulfiana1 1 MA Unggulan Darul Ulum Rejoso Peterongan Jombang Mas Jombang, Jawa Timur, Indonesia [email protected] Abstrak: Artikel ini menguraikan pandangan John Wansbrough, mengenai otentisitas al-Qur’an. Permasalahan pada tulisan ini ialah gugatan Wansbrough yang mengatakan al-Qur’an merupakan imitasi Bible. Sebagai usaha untuk menjawab permasalahan, peneliti menggunakan metode deskripsi-analitik. Penelitian menemukan bahwa kesimpulan John Wansbrough yang menyatakan al-Qur’an adalah imitasi Bible disebabkan sumber-sumber al-Qur’an disinyalir berasal dari sumber-sumber agama sebelumnya yaitu Yahudi dan Kristen. Bukti yang diungkap oleh Wansbrough salah satunya adalah dengan merujuk pada kisah isrā’ Nabi Muhammad pada QS. al-Isrā’:1. Menurutnya kisah isrā’ adalah kisah yang diambil dari agama sebelumnya yaitu eksodus Musa. Ia memperkuat pendapatnya dengan menjelaskan bahwa lafal asrā bi ‘abdihi yang terdapat di lain itu menjelaskan kisah Musa dan juga ayat selanjutnya dalam QS. al-Isrā: 2 itu menunjukkan kisah Musa. Kata kunci: Otentisitas, John Wansbrough, al-Qur’an, Orientalis Abstract: This paper discusses the views of John Wansbrough, about the authenticity of the Qur'an. The issue raised in this paper is Wansbrough's claim that the Qur'an is an imitation of the Bible. In answering the problem of library research, the researcher uses the description-analytic method through categorization or grouping in accordance with the data obtained. The study found that John Wansbrough's conclusion that the Qur'an was an imitation of the Bible was that the sources of the Qur'an were allegedly derived from previous religious sources, namely Judaism and Christianity.
