Sayyid Quṭb, Prophetic History, Reflection on Prophetic History, Dynamic MethodologyAbstract
Knowing the method of a particular scholar in any book is important to understand his approach to dealing with any issue and to make his way to becoming the subject of attention and emulation by later researchers. This research discovers the methodology of Sayyid Quṭb, the dynamic preacher and leading exegete, regarding his dealing with the verses related to prophetic history through Fī Ẓilāl al-Qur’ān. This research deals with three aspects: interpreting the verses related to prophetic history, presenting the events, and extracting the highlights and lessons from the events. The researchers employed the descriptive method to explain the definition of Prophetic history and Sayyid Quṭb’s biography and the analytical method to extract Sayyid Quṭb’s methodology in his exegesis in dealing with verses related to Prophetic history. The study primarily showed that Sayyid Quṭb combined exegesis based on traditions (al-tafsīr bi al-ma’thūr) and opinions (al-tafsīr bi al-ra’y) in explaining the verses related to prophetic history. Sayyid Quṭb has two ways of presenting the events: detailed and overall views. Sayyid Quṭb’s presentation has three objectives: referring to the events as the reasons for the revelation of the verses, inferring events in the interpretation of the verses, and depicting the atmosphere in which the verses were revealed and reviving them. The most important Sayyid Quṭb’s trends in extracting highlights and lessons are employing Prophetic history for his dynamic methodology, clarifying the lessons in the Islamic faith, addressing facts and perceptions about Islam, and contextualizing Prophetic history’s highlights and lessons into current situations.
