Bhutta, Sohaib Saeed. "Intraquranic hermeneutics : theories and methods in Tafsir of the Qur'an through the Qur'an." Thesis, SOAS, University of London, 2018. http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/30286/.

Full text

Abstract:

Islamic hermeneutical works commonly state that "the Qur'an explains itself", and scholars inside and outside the tradition have tended to note and/or adopt this intratextual approach to interpretation. Most famously articulated by Ibn Taymiyya, the principle remains in need of interrogation and elaboration. More broadly, the study of Quranic hermeneutics (usul al-tafsir) is receiving fresh attention both in Western academia and in Muslim confessional scholarship. This study is designed to contribute to these developments and the wider concerns of Tafsir Studies. The research examines the exte

El-Awa, Salwa Mohamed Selim. "Textual relations in the Qur'an." Thesis, SOAS, University of London, 2002. http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/29556/.

Full text

Abstract:

This is a study of textual relations in the Qur'an which explores the possibility of looking differently at the relations holding between the variety of topics that are usually encountered in the long Qur'anic suras. It adopts principles from linguistic and pragmatic theory, and attempts to explain textual relations in accordance with those principles. The main argument of the thesis is that the study of textual relations may be based on a search not necessarily for unity of theme, but rather for whatever types of relations do exist, how they work, and what linguistic tools can be used in dire

Abstract:

The rise of digital technology has transformed nearly every part of our daily lives, including the way we learn and memorize. Such transformations raise interesting questions for one of the most long-standing and demanding memorization tasks in the world: the memorization of the Islamic holy book, The Qur’an. For Muslims, The Qur’an is a timeless, sacred text, cradling within its covers many profound images, stories, and parables. Despite rigorous research in the fields of game design and memorization techniques, very little work has been done in combining these two areas of research to create

Abstract:

Religion<br>Ph.D.<br>The Qur'an has always been a medium through and upon which Islam and the Muslim faith are structured and built. It mediates the relationship between Muslims and God. Despite its alleged divine origin, the Qur'an as a scriptural and textual reality remains to be understood by Muslims. Many theories and principles have been developed out of the long Qur'anic interpretive tradition to address the Muslims' theological and legal needs. One of the most interesting, yet controversial, exegetical legal theories is the theory of naskh, a theory stipulating the abrogation of a verse

Abstract:

It was claimed that modernity is the sole approach for advancement and progress in the Muslim world. And it was claimed also that the exclusive way to modernity is secularism. Therefore, to secularise the Muslim world is a precondition for achieving progress it the Muslim world. It is claimed religion, as it was in the West, is the barrier in the face of progress therefore it is necessary to get rid of religion to achieve this progress. The thesis aims to investigate the validity of these claims and whether it is possible to apply modernity in the Muslim world out of its historical background

Abstract:

Two transmissions of the Qur'an can be found in printed copies today. One stems from Kufa and the other from Medina. They are more commonly called by the names of their respective second-century transmitters, Hafs and 'Wars. This thesis examines the relationship between these two transmissions, as exemplified in the first five suras. The Hafs transmission is found in printed Qur'an copies from all but West and North-West Africa, which employ the War transmission. The Hafs transmission is therefore the transmission found in the vast majority of printed copies of the Qur'an, and printed copies o

Abstract:

This study is about the concept of Hukm in the Qur'an. It follows a thematic method of analysis, collecting the occurrences of the root H-k-m in the Qur'an. Its concern is to explore the meanings of the root H-k-m and its derivatives as they occur in the Qur'an. The thesis consists of two parts, based on the two main meanings of the word Hukm. Part One, which consists of two chapters, discusses the meaning of Hukm as judgement. Chapter One focuses on judgement by God, while Chapter Two centres on judgement by others. Part Two consists of one chapter (Chapter Three) and aims at exploring the co

Abstract:

This thesis attempts to answer the following questions: 1) In what context do the Mosaic narratives occur? 2) What is the role of Moses? 3) How does the figure of Moses function? 4) To what extent is Moses a "model" for the Prophet Muhammad? The figure of Moses grows to such importance because the narratives well suited the situations in which the Prophet Muhammad and his followers found themselves. Was Moses a "model" or was he, as some Western scholars say, "Made in Muhammad's image"? A study of the relevant materials reveals certain parallels between the situation and mission of the Prophet

This thesis investigates the problems of discourse in translating the Qu'ran into English. More specifically, it focuses on the discovery and analysis of problems relating to the macro-textual level and occurring in both stages of the translation process i.e. source-text analysis and transfer. Source-text analysis problems encountered by the Qu'ran translator are extracted from the processing of the source-text. Transfer problems, on the other hand, are isolated via (a) the comparison of eight English translations with the original text; (b) the identification and analysis of 'shifts of transl

From the perspective of the Hebrew Bible the Egyptians represented the quintessential 'other' to the Israelites - lascivious, idolatrous, tyrannical, hostile and murderous. The biblical characterization of the Egyptians may be explained by the historical context in which early Israel emerged, a context in which Egypt represented a political, military and cultural threat to Israel's survival and distinctiveness, and in which the Israelites came to regard themselves as a covenanted people, in a unique and exclusive relationship with their God.
