النص القرآني في فكر مالك بن نبي: مسار التحول من التلقي إلى الفاعلية الحضارية

(Yunes Sadeq Hamood Mohammed Almoliki) يونس صادق حمود محمد المليكي — 2026-04-30

تتناول هذه الورقة موقع النص القرآني في الفكر مالك بن نبي بوصفه عنصرًا فاعلًا في بناء الإنسان وتوجيه الفعل الحضاري، لا مجرد نص يُتداول في الوعي أو الممارسة الطقوسية، وتنطلق من إشكالية مركزية مفادها: كيف يتحول النص القرآني من موضوع للتلقي إلى قوة حضارية منتجة للفعل؟ وتفترض الدراسة أن هذا التحول لا يتحقق تلقائيًا، بل يتم عبر مسار تحولي مركب يتدرج من الوعي النفسي، إلى الكدح الفكري والتوتر الإيجابي، ثم تجاوز الشيئية، وصولًا إلى تأسيس شبكة العلاقات الاجتماعية، وانتهـاءً بالفعل التاريخي بوصفه لحظة تحقق النص في الواقع. وتعتمد الورقة على المنهج الوصفي والتحليلي في رصد مفاهيم ابن نبي وتحليل دلالاتها، والمنهج الاستنباطي في إعادة بناء هذا المسار كنموذج تفسيري، مع توظيف مقاربة نقدية لاختبار حدوده المنهجية. وتخلص إلى أن أزمة الفاعلية الحضارية لا تعود إلى خلل في النص، بل إلى تعطل شروط تفعيله، كما تكشف عن أن نموذج ابن نبي، رغم قدرته التفسيرية، يظل مشروطًا بعوامل سياسية وتاريخية لم يُفصّلها بشكل كافٍ.

This paper examines the position of the Qur’ānic text in Malik Bennabi’s thought, viewing it as a dynamic element shaping human consciousness and directing civilizational action, rather than merely an object of reception. It addresses the central question of how the Qur’ānic text transforms from passive reception into effective historical agency. The study argues that this transformation occurs through a structured process: psychological awareness, intellectual striving driven by positive tension, overcoming objectification, and the formation of social relations, culminating in historical action. This study adopts a descriptive-analytical approach to reconstruct this process, complemented by a critical perspective that evaluates its limits. It concludes that the crisis of civilizational effectiveness lies not in the text itself, but in the disruption of the conditions necessary for its activation, while highlighting the model’s dependence on broader political and historical factors.

Objectives of Ṭalāq in Islamic Law: A Review from Bangladesh Perspective

Belayet Hossen — 2026-04-30

The study seeks to explain that across the Muslim countries, people are profoundly anxious regarding the rise of divorce rates, especially the divorce issue among the Bangladeshi Muslim communities. Nevertheless, they are less worried about the same rise in death tolls resulting from marital disputes across the country. This research aims to explore the maqāṣid (objectives) of ṭalāq (divorce) in Islamic Law from the perspective of Bangladesh Muslim society. Descriptive and analytical methods are used to collect and analyse data in accordance with the Maqāṣid al-Sharīʻah. The focus of the discussion is on the definition of the objectives of Sharīʻah, its classifications, and ḍarūriyāt, the objectives of divorce, including its rulings on permissibility and prohibition. The findings show that, from a Bangladeshi perspective, like any other rulings of Islamic Law, the rulings related to ṭalāq have multifaceted objectives, prioritizing the well-being of married couples’ lives over the continuation of a life-threatening nuptial journey. This model can serve as a reference for other contemporary Muslim communities.

Majālis al-Qur’ān and Behavioral Reform: An Empirical Study Based on Sūrah Al-Hujurāt

Mahdi Ramiz Tirkawi — 2026-04-30

This article examines the behavioral and ethical impact of Majālis al-Qur’ān as an educational methodology developed by Farīd al-Anṣārī for self-reform (tazkiyah) among non-Arabic-speaking Muslims. Its goal is to highlight the role of collective dynamics, pedagogical responsibility, and guided moderation in sustaining reform. Using a qualitative action-research design, the study was conducted in Montreal, Canada, and combined participant observation with ten semi-structured individual interviews and one focus group discussion following a collective study of Sūrah al-Hujurāt. The methodology supports differentiated trajectories of ethical transformation while encouraging the transfer of Qur’ānic study practices beyond the original setting. The article contributes empirical evidence to contemporary discussions on Qur’ānic pedagogy in Western, non-Arabic-speaking contexts. The findings indicate that Majālis al-Qur’ān foster gradual yet tangible behavioral change, characterized by increased ethical awareness, pre-actional moral self-regulation, and intuitive application of Qur’ānic guidance in daily life.
