ISBN 0-315-99937-3 Canad~ • Tille Author De~à11ment Degree Abstract : The Principles of Ibn Taymiyya's Qur'anic Illterpretation : Didin Syafruddin : Illstitute of Islamic Studies, McGiIl University : MA • • Convinced that "true" Islam had become distorted at the hand of the ahl al-bida' (the innovators) such as the philosophers, the mutakallimün , the ~üfis and the Shï'ites, Ibn Taymiyya (d. 1328) not only refutes theu' fundamental views but also their Qur'anic hermeneutics, especially their ta'wil, through which "un-Islamic" views were imposed on the words of the Qur'iin. This concem leads him to write his Muqaddima fi U~ül al-Taisïr (An Introduction to Principles of Qur'anic Interpretation) which this thesis focuses on. In his principles, Ibn Tayrniyya lays strong emphasis on the tafsïr bi al-ma'thür and the authority of the salai (the Companions of the Prophet and their Followers), adducing many new arguments in support of this position. He believes that the Qur'iin had been explained in ilS entirety by the Prophet to his Companions, and the latter passed this understanding on to the taoi'ün. This view leads hirn to rationalize clairning that the salai's sayings always can he explained, and to oppose the use of reason in deterrnining the meaning of the scripture. Ibn Tayrniyya did not Ieave behind a complete comrnentary on the Qur'an. However, his principles of tafsïr not only show much originality. they have also been very influential. In fac!, his influence in this respect is not lirnited to medieval thinlters Iike Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya, Ibn Kathïr, al-Zarkashï and aI-Suyüp but extends to modern writers as weIl. ü • Auteur Titre Deoartement Diplôme R6sum6 Didin Syafruddin Les principes d'interprétation coranique d'Ibn Taymiyya : L'Institut des études islamiques, Université McGiIl : Maîtrise ès Arts • • Convaincu que le "vrai" islam avait ét6 déformé aux mains du ahl al-bidll' tel que les philosophes, les mutakallimün , les soufis, et les chiites. Ibn Taymiyya (m. 1328) réfute non seulement leurs opinions fondamentales mais également leur herm6neutique coranique, surtout leur ta'wil par lequel des opinions "non-islamiques" ont 616 impos6es sur les mots du Coran. Cet intérêt l'amène à écrire sa Muqadclima fi u~ül al-tafsïr (Introduction aux principes d'interprétation coranique), qui sera le sujet de cette thèse. Pamù ses principes, Ibn Taymiyya insiste sur le tafsïr bi al-ma'thÜf et aussi sur l'autorit6 des salaE (les compagnons du prophète et ::eux qui les suivent), en apportant de nouveaux arguments pour soutenir sa position. TI croit que le Coran a 616 clairement expliqu6 par le prophète à ses compagnons. qui ont fait pass6 cette explication aux taoi'ün . Cette opinion l'amène à rationaliser, en déclarant que les maximes des salaE peuvent toujours être expliquées, et qu'il faut donc s'opposer à l'usage de la raison dans l'interprétation des écritures saintes. Ibn Taymiyya n'a pas laiss6 de commentaire coranique complet. Cependant, ses principes montre son originalit6 et ont eu beaucoup d'influence sur les penseurs m6di6vaux comme Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya, Ibn Kathïr, al-Zarkashï, et al- Suyû!i. ainsi que sur certains écrivains modernes. üi • • • Acknowledgements This thesis is the product of a long journey during which 1 have incurred many debt~. ln lndoœsia, 1shoul.d frrst of aIl mention my father and mother who have endlessly prayed for my success.
