The relationship between the science of contextual harmony and the science of Exegesis (Tafsir) -A Theoretical and practical Study-

Abstract

This research aims to highlight the epistemological integration between sciences of the Qur'an (represented by the science of contextual harmony) and the science of exegesis (Tafsir) Through theoretical investigation of the relationship between them and presenting some practical examples. The significance of this topic lies in its connection to the Word of Allah in terms of its meanings, as well as its role in demonstrating the epistemological integration between various sciences in the study of the Qur'an.

As for the research problem, it is represented in the following question: What is the relationship between the science of contextual harmony and the science of exegesis? I have followed the descriptive approach to address the research problem, employing the techniques of induction, analysis, comparison, and then deduction. Among the key findings of the study are: the science of contextual harmony complements the science of exegesis in uncovering the meanings of the Qur'an; exegesis serves as a means to reveal contextual harmony; contextual harmony is among the means leading to exegesis; and the relationship of contextual harmony to exegesis is akin to the relationship of the soul to the body.
