Taḥqīq al-Farq bayna al-Sunan al-Ilāhiyyat wa al-Sunan al-Kauniyyat wa Ta’ṡīruhumā fī al-Tafsīr: Dirāsatun Muqāranatun bayna Tafsīr al-Manār wa Tafsīr al-Jawāhir [Investigating the Difference of Sunnah al-Ilāhiah and Sunnah al-Kauniah and Its Implication on Qur’anic Exegesis: A Comparative Study between Tafsīr al-Manār and Tafsīr al-Jawāhir]

Abstract

Sunnatullah is one of the terms appearing in the Qur’an. It is appropriate that there is no contention in achieving its meaning, as is the case of expressive terms such as the word women and people and others. It is often the problem and disturbance in the difference between Sunnah Ilâhiyyah Ijtimâ’iyyah and Sunnah Kauniyyah Thobî’iyyah. So, the difference between them must be made. And this research clearly reveals that difference. This research used the method of analysis and comparison, as this analyzes what is in Tafsîr Al-Manar by Muhammad Rashid Ridha and in Tafsîr Al-Jawâhir by Tantawi Jauhari. This research also compares Sunnah Ilâhiyyah Ijtimâ’iyyah and Sunnah Thobî’iyyah until the difference between them is clear.This research results that Sunnah Ilâhiyyah Ijtimâ’iyyah relates to the human being only in terms of their intention, and Sunnah Kauniyyah Thobî’iyyah is not related to their willing, but rather the provisions of cosmic bodies and natures. Sunnah Ilâhiyyah Ijtimâ’iyyah appears on Tafsîr al-Mannâr by M Rasyid Ridha, and Sunnah Kauniyyah Thobî’iyyah appears on Tafsîr al-Jawâhir by Tantawi Jauhari. The benefit of this research is realizing the reality of the difference between both of them and their effect on Tafsîr al-Mannâr in relation to Sunnah Ilâhiyyah Ijtimâ’iyyah and Tafsîr al-Jawâhir in relation to Sunnah Kauniyyah Thobî’iyyah.
