الإلهيات عند الأشعري ( ت:324هـ) من خلال كُتُبه إثبات اليدين والعينين نموذجا دراسة وصفية نقدية

HASAN Al-Khattaf — 2024-12-18

Al-Ash'ari is widely regarded as the preeminent leader of Ahl al-Sunnah, yet there remains debate over the authenticity and content of the books attributed to him. This study refrains from engaging in that debate and instead focuses on analyzing these attributed works and the perspectives of some of his followers. A key question arises: do these texts truly reflect Al-Ash'ari's stance and that of Ahl al-Sunnah? Do they align with the coherence of Quranic verses and prophetic traditions, or do they represent a particular phase of his intellectual journey, potentially containing distortions or alterations? Addressing this question highlights the significance of this research. Using descriptive and critical methodologies, the study is divided into two sections. One major finding reveals a notable literalism in these works, which diverges from the coherence of Quranic verses and the subtleties of the Arabic language. This literalism is evident throughout his writings, including Maqalat al-Islamiyyin, and contrasts with the interpretive approaches of his followers, particularly in affirming attributes such as God’s "eyes." While this literalism is not explicitly sensory, it has led to a rejection of contextually grounded interpretations of Quranic verses and their reasons for revelation.

khaled Hassan Muhammad al-Baadani — 2024-12-18

This research delves into the epistemological and methodological foundations required to establish Occidentalism as a distinct scientific discipline. It positions Occidentalism as a field dedicated to studying and critically analyzing the West, seeking to move beyond fragmented knowledge toward a systematic framework grounded in clear epistemological principles. The study raises essential questions regarding the subject, methods, objectives, challenges, and epistemological barriers of Occidentalism, aiming to provide insights into its intellectual and methodological prerequisites. By addressing a contemporary issue in Islamic thought, the research underscores the importance of equipping the Islamic intellectual tradition with tools for critical and scientific engagement with the West. Using analytical, inductive, and critical methodologies, it explores how Occidentalism can evolve into a structured field of inquiry capable of achieving a balanced and objective understanding of the West. Furthermore, it highlights the need to refine the discourse around Occidentalism, define its scope and methods, and integrate insights from Islamic heritage to develop a coherent scientific methodology. The study concludes with recommendations for distinguishing between the study of the West and the science of Occidentalism, paving the way for a systematic and rigorous exploration of this emerging field.

موقف المحدثين من الإمام الشافعي

ABDULLA SAITBEKOV — 2024-12-27

Imam Al-Shafi'i has faced significant criticism from ancient times to the present, particularly concerning various aspects of his scholarly contributions. Among the most prominent critiques are objections regarding his knowledge of Hadith, his status within the discipline, and the stance of Hadith scholars toward him. These critiques originated during his lifetime and have continued to resurface across the centuries. Notable responses to these criticisms were offered by esteemed scholars such as Al-Bayhaqi and Al-Khatib Al-Baghdadi, who authored works addressing these objections and providing valuable insights still relevant today. Critics often highlight specific issues related to Hadith studies, including Yahya ibn Ma'in's critique of Al-Shafi'i and the absence of his narrations in the collections of Al-Bukhari and Muslim. This article aims to respond to these criticisms, contextualize the actions of Hadith scholars, and provide an appropriate historical and scholarly perspective.

أثر توجيه القراءات القرآنية المتواترة في بناء الخطاب العقدي في سورة الشورى

Fatima Saad al-Naimi — 2024-12-31

This study examines the influence of mutawatir Quranic recitations on doctrinal discourse in Surah Ash-Shura, with a focus on the tonal differences between Meccan and Medinan surahs. Meccan surahs, such as Ash-Shura, adopt a severe tone to address polytheists opposing monotheism and Muhammad's prophethood, while Medinan surahs employ a calm, instructional tone for the believing community. Employing inductive, descriptive, and analytical methodologies, the research explores the role of recitations in shaping doctrinal messages. The findings reveal that mutawatir recitations enhance the clarity and interpretation of verses, particularly regarding God's names and attributes, and underscore the Quran's linguistic and semantic coherence and uniqueness
