| Summary: | Muhammad Asad is a well-known scholar whose main contribution is in the field of
tafsir. The Message of the Qur'an represents his contribution towards that end. This
research attempts to examine and explain all the components of the methodology
applied by Muhammad Asad in his tafsir. These components as identified by the
researcher are: (1) The Qur'an Interprets the Qur'an, (2) Interpretation by Highly
Authentic Ahadith, (3) Identification of the Central Theme of Surah, (4) Condensation
of the Contents of Surah, (5) Utilization of Some Selected Tafsir Works, (6)
Deliberation over the Semantic Dimension of Words and Phrases, (7) Re-examination
of the Value of the Reports on Asbab al-Nuzul, (8) Meccan and Medinan Revelations,
and (9) Illustration from Judeo-Christian Sources. Some of these methods are
traditional and some are novel. Muhammad Asad has thus made an enviably beautiful
fusion of old as well as new techniques in unfolding the messages of the Revelation
from on high. Muhammad Asad’s biographical sketch also forms a part of the thesis.
Other major issues discussed in the thesis comprise the basic features of The Message
of the Qur'an, and its contemporary relevance. |
