BRIDGING TRADITION AND MODERNITY IN ISLAMIC SCHOLARSHIP

In an era where the intersection of tradition and modernity poses significant intellectual and social challenges, the articles featured in this edition of Journal AL-BURHAN reflect the depth, adaptability, and resilience of Islamic scholarship. The collection of works presented here not only explores foundational Islamic teachings but also examines their relevance in contemporary contexts, addressing issues ranging from apparent contradictions in Quranic verses to pedagogical frameworks, resilience, diversity, and legal interpretation. Reaffirming the Coherence of Quranic Teachings One of the perennial challenges in Quranic studies is addressing apparent contradictions between verses. Radwan J. Y. Elatrash and Noor Mohammad Osmani provide a methodological approach to resolving such seeming disparities, demonstrating that what may initially appear as inconsistencies are, in fact, harmonized through contextual analysis and interpretive frameworks. Their study reaffirms the Quran’s cohesive nature and the sophisticated methods scholars have historically employed to ensure textual clarity. Education and the Relevance of Islamic Knowledge Islamic education plays a critical role in shaping moral values and preserving the intellectual and ethical integrity of the Muslim ummah. Jalaldeen Jemeela and Dawood Al-Hidabi delve into Al-Ghazali’s pedagogical principles, emphasizing the fusion of knowledge, ethics, and spirituality. Their study highlights how moral development is integral to education, reflecting the timeless wisdom of classical scholars. Similarly, Saheed Abdullahi Busari, Oni Idris Ajani, and Luqman Zakariyyah assess the relevance of Islamic studies in Nigerian tertiary institutions. Through a SWOT analysis, they explore the challenges faced by Islamic education, particularly in regions where secularization and globalization threaten its traditional framework. Their work advocates for curricular reforms to enhance the practical impact of Islamic studies in the modern world. Historical and Legal Foundations in Islamic Rulings The study by Fajri Matahati Muhammadin and Felicia Andryanti offers an analytical perspective on the judgment of Sa‘ad ibn Mu‘ādh regarding Banū Qurayẓah. Their discussion situates the ruling within historical and legal contexts, addressing contemporary debates on whether Jewish legal principles influenced this verdict. This article underscores the need for rigorous historical scrutiny before making assumptions about the application of external legal systems in early Islamic governance. Islamic Perspectives on Resilience and Social Harmony The concept of resilience has gained significant attention in psychology, education, and social sciences, but its Islamic foundations remain underexplored. Dr. Mohammad Mohiuddin and Nadya Farisha Binti Radhilufti provide an insightful Quranic perspective on resilience, using the story of Prophet Yusuf (A.S.) as a case study. Their work highlights how resilience is deeply embedded within Islamic teachings and how it serves as a framework for personal and communal endurance. Meanwhile, the Prophet’s approach to diversity and inclusion is a timeless model for Muslim minorities, as examined by Ashker Aroos, Mohammed Ghous Mohammed Insaf, Mohamed Ashath, and Tuan Rishan Razeen. Their study draws upon key historical moments—such as the Medina Charter, the migration to Abyssinia, and the Treaty of Hudaybiyah—to illustrate how Muslims can coexist harmoniously within multicultural societies while upholding their religious identity. Addressing Contemporary Challenges: Food Security and Globalization Islamic teachings encompass holistic solutions to modern challenges, including food security and cultural preservation in the face of globalization. Dr. Mohammed Fathi Mohammed Abdul Jalil, Dr. Noor Liyana Binti Leman, and Khairun Naqibah Binti Haji Lazim present an analysis of Surah Yasin, demonstrating how Quranic principles guide sustainable food security policies. Their study reaffirms the Quran’s comprehensive approach to socioeconomic well-being. Similarly, Rahma Qassim Ali and Radwan Jamal Elatrash examine Islamic culture’s resilience in confronting the forces of globalization. Their work emphasizes how Islamic identity and values persist despite external pressures, showcasing the Quran’s role as an anchor for cultural and ethical continuity. The Prophetic Model for Leadership and Role-Modeling The formation of exemplary Muslim leadership has always been a cornerstone of Islamic civilization. Masrurah Sai’ Masi and Dr. Safiyyah Shamsuddin analyze the Prophetic methodology in cultivating role models, particularly among the Companions (Sahabah). Their research highlights how character-building, mentorship, and ethical training were central to the Prophet’s mission, shaping individuals who embodied the ideals of justice, wisdom, and humility. Preserving the Essence of Islamic Knowledge The diverse range of articles in this edition of Journal AL-BURHAN underscores the dynamic interplay between classical Islamic knowledge and contemporary challenges. Whether through Quranic exegesis, historical analysis, educational frameworks, or sociopolitical insights, the rich intellectual tradition of Islam continues to offer guidance, solutions, and resilience in an ever-changing world. As scholars and readers, we are reminded that Islamic knowledge is not static but evolving, adapting to new contexts while staying rooted in divine revelation and Prophetic wisdom. The task ahead is not just to preserve this knowledge, but to actively engage with it, refine it, and apply it to the challenges of our time. May this edition inspire deeper reflection, critical inquiry, and a renewed commitment to the pursuit of knowledge. NOOR MOHAMMAD OSMANI Editor-in-chief February 2025

Westernizers’ Studies of the Qur’an: Arab Liberals as a Model

In this era, Muslims have faced intellectual challenges in a new form and in modern faces, and these challenges are divided into two parts: Internal challenges and external challenges. Internal challenges like the spread of ignorance, fanaticism, disbelieve (takfīr), terrorism, and others. As for the external challenges, they appeared in the form of the spread of ideas, philosophy, and concepts from Western civilization, including liberalism. This liberalism has spread to the minds of Muslims and dominated them, including Arab intellectuals. Some Arab intellectuals were influenced by this idea and then tried to introduce it into Islamic studies in general, from its history, culture, and language to the Holy Quran in particular, because it is the first source of this religion. They deal with the Qur'anic texts from a liberal perspective, interpret them loosely, and follow contemporary rules because they adhere to this concept, which is based on foundations that are contrary to the principles of Islam. Among the most prominent Arab thinkers who focused on the study of the Qur’an are Nasr Hamed Abu Zayd (1943-2010), an Egyptian liberal thinker and writer who made an effort to build a new treatment of the Qur'anic text, Mohammad Arkoun (1928-2010), an Algerian thinker and writer who proposed a new treatment of heritage and text, and Mohammad Shahrour (1938-2019), a Syrian writer, and engineer who graduated from engineering faculty and then made an effort to build a contemporary reading of the Qur'anic text afterward. In general, they claimed to be advocates of renewal and reform in dealing with the Qur'anic texts, and they claimed that the concepts existing at this time must be renewed with modern ideas and new interpretations because the interpretations at the time of the Companions may be inappropriate at this era. Therefore, they tried to liberalize the limitations of the rules established by the community of scholars in the Qur'anic studies and its principles through their contemporary approaches. The importance of this research was to know the approaches of Arab liberals in dealing with the Holy Quran, as well as to warn Muslims not to fall into the pit of their corrupt ideas but to preserve their beliefs and protect their faith in the book that was revealed to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, which is the Holy Quran. The objectives of this research are to highlight the contemporary intellectual challenges embodied in the emergence of Arab liberals in the Islamic world and to reveal the approaches of Arab liberals to the study of the Qur'an. The researcher used the descriptive method, which is a way of describing the topic to be studied through a correct scientific methodology and depicting the results reached on expressive numerical forms that can be interpreted, then the researcher collected facts related to the opinions of Arab liberals in their writings with studies about them, The second is the inductive method, which is the process of observing phenomena and collecting data about them to arrive at general principles and universal relationships, then the researcher collected this data from the ideas of these liberals and took a holistic conclusion from their approach. After conducting the research, the researcher found the following key findings: The Arab liberals built on the following approaches, namely: Skepticism, Humanisation, Historicism, Negation of Synonymy, and Linguistics in their study of Qur’an.

Evolution of Islamic Education in Pakistan: Tradition, Modernization, Challenges, and Future Reforms

Islam came to Pakistan in the seventh century, pioneering Islamic education systems in the region. Over the centuries, political, social, and economic developments influenced its evolution. This article explores Islamic education in Pakistan, focusing on course content, pedagogy, and infrastructure changes. The analysis begins with the earliest Islamic schools, particularly the madrasa system, which trained leaders and intellectuals in Islamic ethics, law, and theology. These institutions preserved and transmitted Islamic culture and knowledge across generations. Islamic education changed significantly during British colonial rule and industrialisation in the 19th and 20th centuries. Western principles were integrated into the madrasa curriculum, adding Mathematics, Science, and English, creating a shift from traditional methods. After independence, Pakistan expanded its Islamic education with universities and colleges. These institutions combined Islamic teachings with modern disciplines to provide a comprehensive curriculum. Today, Islamic education in Pakistan is vibrant and diverse, with institutions focusing on Islamic studies, Quranic studies, and Islamic law. While the government has implemented regulatory bodies to ensure quality, challenges like training instructors and incorporating technology persist. Collaborative efforts by religious scholars, educators, and policymakers are essential to modernising Islamic education and ensuring its relevance.

Production Management Based on the Qur'an and Hadith for the Sustainability of the Sharia Economy

Production management in Islam, based on the Qur'an and Hadith, presents a relevant approach to supporting the sustainability of the Islamic economy. This article analyzes Islamic principles that encompass environmental sustainability, work ethics, and social responsibility in production activities. Based on the study of Qur'anic verses and Hadith, it is found that production management must be carried out wisely to avoid waste, maintain ecological balance, and meet quality standards in accordance with Sharia. The concept of halalan thayyiban encourages the creation of products that are not only halal but also of high quality, safe, and environmentally friendly. Additionally, the principle of justice in the distribution of production results, such as through zakat, infak, and sadaqah, contributes to economic equity and social welfare. The implementation of this management requires collaboration between the government, businesses, and society to create an inclusive, fair, and sustainable production system. Thus, the approach based on Islamic values can be a solution to address global challenges, such as resource exploitation, social inequality, and environmental damage, while also supporting the goals of sustainable development

CRITIQUES BY MUSAID AL-TAYYAR REGARDING THE ISSUE OF USUL AL-TAFSIR

The al-Quran is a scripture that acts as a guide for life. Solutions for all the problems faced by humans are provided for in the al-Quran. Engaging with the al-Quran requires a disciplined approach to knowledge in order to ensure that it is accurately understood. Usul al-Tafsir (Principles of Quranic Exegesis) is one of the essential disciplines required to comprehend the al-Quran. Researchers are expected to adopt a more critical way of thinking in this contemporary era of globalization to ensure that the development of knowledge continues to expand and remain relevant. A stagnated mindset hinders the expression of ideas and the growth of knowledge, which prevents both from flourishing effectively. Musaid al-Tayyar is recognized as a critical and influential thinker in the field of Quranic studies. His ideas and critiques are accompanied by in-depth justifications based on his comprehensive analyses. This qualitative study adopted a content analysis approach, focusing on the works of Musaid al-Tayyar and supported by other relevant literature. Data obtained in this study were descriptively and thematically analysed. Findings demonstrate that his thoughts are grounded in arguments and justification that emerge from his mastery of classical works related to Quranic exegesis, tabaqat al-mufassirin (the ranks of interpreters) scriptures, historical records etc. His thoughts should be further emphasised in subsequent research to benefit scholars and foster a genuine understanding of the discipline of Usul al-Tafsir.

FROM TAFSIR TO TADABBUR

This article aims to look at the history of tadabbur knowledge in Saudi Arabia as an alternative trend in understanding the Qur’an in the contemporary era. The study of Qur’anic reading dominated by hermeneutical-contextual discourse ignores other responses to the complexity of understanding and applying Qur’anic content. The stagnation of the development of Qur’anic interpretation in Saudi Arabia is not entirely true. One form of response that has become a trend is the recitation of tadabbur al-Qur’ān. This is indicated by the massive publication of various books on tadabbur in the last twenty years (2000–2020), which symbolizes the alternation of Saudi Arabian scholars in responding to contemporary interpretive discourse. Tadabbur inspiration can be found in three works of tafsir written by Saudi scholars beginning with ‘Abdurraḥmān Sa‘dī, Shaykh Uthaimīn, and Shaykh Sulaymān al-Lāḥīm. Through a survey and brief review of the idea of tadabbur in the knowledge network of Qur’anic exegesis in Saudi Arabia, this study found three main trends. First, the influence of Salafi ideology as an idea that underlies the dissemination of the concept of Qur’anic tadabbur. Second, revitalization efforts were made by ‘Abdurraḥmān Ḥabannakah in making tadabbur a separate discipline. Third, as a response to the diversity of contextual-applicative approaches dominated by the hermeneutic approach to the Qur’an. These three trends become a form of methodological response of Saudi Arabian scholars to the discourse of reading the Qur’an that developed in the contemporary era.
