The Principles of Qur’anic Research Methodology: Deriving the Process of Knowledge From Revelation
Abstract
<em>The Principles of Qur’anic Research Methodology</em><span> presents a groundbreaking reconstruction of knowledge grounded entirely in the epistemic framework of the Qur’an. Moving beyond inherited medieval traditions and modern secular paradigms, this book offers a unified model in which </span><em>tawḥid</em><span>, ethical responsibility, rational inquiry, and empirical attentiveness form an integrated research philosophy. Through rigorous analysis of key Qur’anic concepts-</span><em>ʿilm</em><span>, </span><em>ʿaql</em><span>, </span><em>yaqin</em><span>, </span><em>tadabbur</em><span>, </span><em>tafakkur</em><span>, and the cosmic signs (</span><em>ayat</em><span>)-the work develops Qur’an-based qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-method approaches, extending even into cosmology and the natural sciences. It provides scholars, researchers, and students with a comprehensive, methodologically robust framework for conducting inquiry anchored in revelation, yet fully engaged with contemporary scientific and academic debates. This book invites a new generation to rethink knowledge through the coherence and universality of the Qur’anic worldview.</span>
