“The Causes of Revelation and Their Impact on the Interpretation of the Holy Qur’an: Surah Al-Baqarah as a Model – A Thematic Study.”
The study examines the concept of the causes of revelation (Asbab al-Nuzul) and their application in the interpretation of the Holy Qur’an, taking Surah Al-Baqarah as a representative model.
The study reached several significant findings, including:
- The causes of revelation constitute a fundamental element in clarifying the meanings of Qur’anic verses and determining their intended legal implications.
- Knowledge of the causes of revelation aids in understanding the historical and social context in which the verses were revealed.
- The causes of revelation help resolve ambiguities and apparent contradictions among certain similar verses.
- They contribute to identifying the specific individuals or events to which particular verses were revealed.
- Many legal rulings in Islamic law are مرتبط with specific incidents and circumstances during which the verses were revealed.
