Analysis of Methods for Addressing Theological Objections in Contemporary Exegeses with Emphasis on Min Wahy al-Qur'an

Abstract

One of the significant challenges of the present era is the emergence of various objections concerning theological (doctrinal) issues. Identifying and responding to such objections based on specific principles and rules is essential. The present study aims to analyze the methods of addressing theological objections in contemporary Qur'anic exegeses, with a focus on Min Wahy al-Qur'an. This research is theoretical in its purpose and descriptive-analytical in nature. The data collection method is library-based, and the tools employed include note-taking from books, articles, and other sources. Fadlallah's intellectual approach to the Islamic community, rooted in Qur'anic culture and Islamic principles, provided a foundation for addressing diverse issues, including offering convincing responses to objections. This approach motivated him to compose a unique exegetical work, delving into the eternal miracle of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and inspiring scholars and enthusiasts of Qur'anic interpretation and related sciences to engage in intellectual exploration on these matters. The focus of the present study is to examine specific aspects of Fadlallah's exegetical work concerning the methods of responding to theological objections, highlighting the techniques used by the scholar to provide insights for further advancements in understanding and applying such responses to counteract and eliminate these objections. The results indicate that Fadlallah, in his work Min Wahy al-Qur'an, has effectively responded to theological objections and is recognized as one of the prominent contemporary exegetical contributions.
