Names and Expressions of The Glorious Quran: An Interpretive Analysis
Walid F. KhayrThis book addresses the following:
The Qur'an endures as our era's vital scripture. Each generation's engagement yields new readings-yet interpretations risk irrelevance when they ignore emerging challenges. When stagnation threatens, fresh readings must overarch prior understandings without negating them. This dynamism embodies the Qur'an's essence: a text of renewal without end (Qur'an 75:19). Its very nomenclature unlocks a tripartite vision that synthesizes:
- Revelation (Divine communication),
- The Universe (observable creation),
- The Human (purposeful agency).
The Beautiful Names of God (al-Asmā' al-Ḥusnā) anchor this vision's epistemology. Yet realizing "The Science of Direction" (ʿIlm al-Wijhah) requires:
- A unified theory of the triad,
- Clarification of key concepts (e.g., hudá, tadabbur),
- Innovative methods for deriving principles, theories, and applications.
Future scholarship must pioneer this work-so that the Qur'an's guidance continues to illuminate every era of humanity's journey.
