Reader’s Entry Point
The material the Mother of the Book and Its Elaboration addresses the science of Qur’anic exegesis within a critique of the ordering of the Qur’anic sciences in the tradition. The page does not present this critique as an abolition of all exegesis or as a comprehensive definition of the science of Qur’anic exegesis.
Meaning Supported by the Material
The claim atom dominance of the science of Qur’anic exegesis describes the predominance of the science of Qur’anic exegesis over other fields of inquiry as resulting from a flaw in the traditional classification. The concept of the science of Qur’anic exegesis places this critique within a project of reorganizing the Qur’anic sciences.
Distinctions and Connections
- The science of Qur’anic exegesis and the Qur’anic sciences: The source mentions a relationship of dominance and classification, not synonymy between the two titles.
- The science of Qur’anic exegesis and interpretation: This entry does not establish every distinction between them; the specific evidence for interpretation must be consulted.
Limits of the Claim
The page relies on a single source and does not generalize the critique of dominance to every exegetical practice or to all of Shahrur’s books.
