QAWA’ID AL-TARJIH BI AL-SIYAQ ‘INDA SAYYID QUTUB: NAMAZIJ TATBIQIYYAH [THE PRINCIPLES OF CONTEXTUAL PREFERENCE (TARJĪḤ) IN THE INTERPRETATION OF SAYYID QUTB: APPLIED ANALYTICAL MODELS]
Keywords:
Tafsir, Rules of Preference, Zilal al-Qur’anAbstract
Abstract: The science of Tafsir (Quranic interpretation) is one of the most honorable and esteemed sciences, as it enables the understanding of Allah’s words, derives meanings, and illuminates paths to grasp the divine intent. The scholars of the Ummah have exerted tremendous effort in interpreting the Quran, forming diverse schools of thought and approaches, leading to the necessity of establishing scientific principles that regulate the process of Tafsir and assist in determining the most accurate meanings when multiple opinions exist. From this perspective, the science of Rules of Preference emerged as one of the most significant tools for evaluating and distinguishing between interpretative opinions. The exegete relies on well-established scientific foundations to select the preferred interpretation that is supported by evidence and strengthened by linguistic and Islamic legal reasoning. While examining the book In the Shade of the Quran by Sayyid Qutb, we noticed his frequent presentation of multiple interpretations for a single verse, raising methodological questions about how he determined preference among them and the criteria he used for his choices. Thus, this research aims to shed light on the rules of preference in In the Shade of the Quran, exploring their impact on guiding interpretative meaning through various applied examples. I ask Allah to make this work sincerely for His sake and beneficial to researchers and students of knowledge, for He is the One who grants success and has power over all things.
