ASINOMINITAS DALAM PEMBACAAN KRITIS ATAS BUKU AL-KITĀB WA AL-QUR`ĀN QIRĀ`AH MU’ĀṢIRAH KARYA M. SYAḤRŪR

Abstract

Muhammad Syaḥrūr is one of the Islamic thinkers who introduces a new accounts related to the study of Qur’anic exegesis. By using historical and scientific approaches, he refuses the idea of sinonymity (tarāduf) in the Qur’an. For him, there is a substantial difference between “nabi” and “rasūl”, as well as other terms such as “al-kitāb, al-Qur’ān, al-ẓikr, and al-Furqān”. Based on his rejection to this idea, Syaḥrūr constructs his own theories concerning Qur’anic interpretation. There are several books that represent the anti-thesis to the Syaḥrūr’s ideas. This article tries to formulate its synthesis. With reference to the classic linguistic literatures, the author proves that the Qur’an contains the synonymities, and it apparently weakens the Syaḥrūr’s argumentation.
