Analytical Study of “The Message of the Qur’ān” by Muhammad Asad
تلخیص
Muhammad Asad was an unparalleled scholar of Arabic language in the contemporary Western world. He possessed vast knowledge of tafsīr and ḥadith literature. Being from the Jewish tradition with religious background he was also acquainted with the knowledge of previous scriptures. “The Message of the Qur’ān” is a combination of tafsīrbi’l-riwāyah or tafsīrbi’l-mathūr (interpretation by transmission) and tafsirbi’l- dirāyah or tafsīrbi’l-rā’y (interpretation by sound opinion). In his exegetical notes, he mostly relied on famous commentators and substantiated his point of view by quoting from them. However, he deviated from exegetical traditions in his footnotes on such verses in which the Prophetic miracles or super natural events have been underlined. He based such discussions on intellect rejecting any possibility of such events which is beyond the realm of cause and effect. Some of his explanatory notes on verses underlining scientific facts are worth reading but when he accepts theories as scientific facts, it becomes difficult for readers to agree with him. He was a modernist but different from modernists of Indian subcontinent who have rejected ḥadith literature altogether in their exegeses. Asad’s views on creation of man, miracles, night journey (isrā’) of the Prophet ﷺ, jinn and allegory in the Qur’ān are based on intellect where he put tafsīr and ḥadith literature aside. His rationalistic approach in such discussions has made his work unacceptable for orthodox scholars
