Revisiting InAQ principles in view of tadabbur Al-Qur’an methods

An elevated Naqli-Aqli integration platform

Abstract

This is advanced research on revisiting the InAQ principles when considering Tadabbur Al-Qur’an methods. The acronym "InAQ" stands for (Integration of Naqli and Aqli) which refers to the systematic intellectual theological framework incorporating Islamic knowledge and rational thought. Thus, as the title suggests, this research analyses the Naqli composition style, and Tadabbur Al-Qur’an methods (V.01). Tadabbur Al-Qur’an methods (V.01) is a deliberate recall of the 1st Qur’anic generation approach to Al-Qur’an engagement using divine induced from in the Naqli itself (56:1-14); (36:2-11). It is based on the Naqli composition style which stands for “Divine” meanings that are uniquely different from that of the 7th C. Arabic wordlists. Tadabbur Al-Qur’an methods (V.01) is an extension of the InAQ methodological review in the quest of attaining a more stable and consistent InAQ-referenced ground for a more revealing divine worldview. The research is based on higher-order thinking skills. Thus, it is neither an affirmation of traditional Al-Qur’an translations nor a confirmation of the corrupted Torah proceedings. The Tadabbur Al-Qur’an methods (V.01) are rather a recall of Al-Qur’an direct engagement mechanisms used during the early Muslim community before the emergency of the Tafsiir corpus. The inductive and deductive approaches are used. The following (vii) Tadabbur Al-Qur’an methods (V.01) are adapted: (i)- observing (علامات; markings) (ii)- organic (تَفْصِيل; elaboration by Allah S.W); (iii)-toiling (تَفْصِيل; divarication) by (اعتبار; cross over); (iv)- (التدبُّر; the delayed diligent observation; (v)- nested interpretation; (vi)- certainty, relevancy and intentionality of all Al-Qur’an patterns; and (vii)- using Naqli composition style and Naqli unique terminologies). The Tadabbur Al-Qur’an methods (V.01) consistently unravel the divine concealments in a manner they did during the early Muslim community before the publications of Tafsiir literature. Thus, the researchers have introduced the Tadabbur Al-Qur’an methods (V.01) which are more accurate, stable, divine lexicons friendly, and consistent in combining rational thoughts and discoveries with revealed knowledge.
