أثرُ التفسير الجُغْرافيّ للقرآن الكريم في التَّرجِيحِ بَيْن أَقوالِ المفسِّرِين في تَفْسير آياتِ غَزْوَتَي أُحُدٍ والأَحْزَابِ

The Impact of Geographical Interpretation of the Holy Qur’an on Favoring Commentators’ Views in Interpreting the Verses of the Battles of Uhud and Al-Ahzab

Abstract

This study examines the impact of geographical interpretation on the differing opinions among Quranic commentators, specifically in the context of the Battles of Uhud and Al-Ahzab. The Holy Quran, rich in multi-faceted meanings, often leads to varying interpretations among scholars, especially concerning verses with geographical implications. This research focuses on how geographical context influences the understanding and preference for specific interpretations over others in these two significant battles. By analyzing the geographical elements mentioned in the Quranic verses, the study aims to provide a more precise understanding of the locations and events described, thereby resolving discrepancies in interpretations. The research is unique in its approach to incorporating modern geographical tools and digital mapping technologies to enhance the study of Quranic exegesis. Through detailed examination of the relevant verses, the study identifies the role of geographical context in shaping the historical and theological narratives of the Battles of Uhud and Al-Ahzab. The findings suggest that a deeper geographical awareness can significantly contribute to resolving interpretative conflicts and advancing the scholarly understanding of these events. This work not only underscores the importance of geographical considerations in Quranic exegesis but also opens new avenues for research that integrates traditional Islamic scholarship with contemporary geographical analysis. The study concludes with recommendations for further research in the integration of geographical data into the interpretation of other Quranic verses with similar implications.
