مسميات المختصين بالدين في القرآن الكريم: صفاتهم ومسؤوليتهم دراسة موضوعية

Abstract

This study examines the terminology used in the Holy Quran to describe scholars and religious specialists across various legal contexts. It aims to collect these terms, elucidate their meanings and occurrences, and emphasize the critical role of scholars in societal development. Through an inductive approach, the researcher gathered the different terms and analysed their contextual relevance, while the analytical approach clarified their relationship to their respective contexts. The deductive approach was employed to highlight the scholars’ roles, responsibilities, and the obligations of the people towards them. The study’s findings underscore the diversity of terms used in the Quran, reflecting differences in knowledge and the legal contexts in which they appear. It also highlights the scholars’ essential role in society, including clarifying truths, resolving disputes, and ensuring sound understanding. Ultimately, the Quran positions scholars as pivotal figures in building civilizations, serving as both religious and worldly leaders who guide people to the Creator and act as a safeguard for correct interpretation and unity across generations.
