Özet
This article examines the understanding of Qur’?nic exegesis before Jam?l al-D?n al-Afgh?n? and the innovative approaches he introduced. Using an inductive method, it analyses Jam?l al-D?n al-Afghani’s books, articles, and speeches. Before al-Afgh?n?, Qur’?nic exegesis was dominated by classical methods focused on syntax, grammar, jurisprudence, and theology, failing to meet contemporary needs. Al-Afgh?n? did not write a tafs?r book in the classical style but his articles in al-?Urwah al-Wuthq? resemble independent exegesis treatises, following a late Ottoman style. He advocated for a subjective and critical reading, centring only on the Qur’?n and rejecting linguistically focused exegesis. He emphasized the Qur’?n’s relevance to contemporary issues, highlighting its social, cultural, anthropological, and political messages. On the topic of mu‘arrab, however, he made forced comments without sufficient evidence. © 2024, Islamic Research Institute. All rights reserved.
