Compositions’ Semantics and its Effect on Qur’anic Contemplation, An Applied Study on Surat Yusuf Report on a Master's Thesis
All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and peace and blessings be upon the guide of humanity to the Lord of the worlds, Muhammad, the trustworthy, may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him, his family, his companions, his wives, and his followers until the Day of Judgment. We are pleased to present in the nineteenth issue of the peer-reviewed academic journal Tadabbur, in its tenth year, a report on a scholarly thesis as part of the journal’s commitment to publishing reports on theses, projects, and academic conferences. These efforts aim to enrich researchers with the latest developments in the academic field, strengthen the connection between scholarly research and the academic community, and accelerate the global dissemination of knowledge through a specialized, peer-reviewed platform focused on Quranic contemplation (tadabbur). This issue features a report on a master’s thesis titled: "The Semantics of Linguistic Structures and Their Impact on Quranic Contemplation: An Applied Study on Surah Yusuf." This thesis highlights the significance of tadabbur and its scholarly and practical applications. The thesis, submitted by the researcher Ghazi Ahmad Muhammad Dughmush at the World Islamic Sciences and Education University, addresses several topics. It begins by defining the concept of tadabbur, traces the emergence of the science of semantics in foundational Islamic texts, categorizes its three divisions after defining and comparing them, establishes the legitimacy of using semantics as evidence, and illustrates its impact on Quranic contemplation by broadening the scope of analyzing its linguistic expressions. This thesis represents a valuable contribution to the field of Quranic studies and linguistics, as it explores the intrinsic relationship between the semantics of linguistic structures and the process of Quranic contemplation. The research derives its importance from its endeavor to establish a deeper understanding of the Quranic discourse, utilizing semantic tools to analyze the meanings derived from the text. As the thesis emphasizes, tadabbur is not merely a superficial reading but a profound reflective process that engages the intellect and insight to uncover the treasures of guidance, wisdom, and lessons within the Quran. The researcher has defined the term tadabbur, clarified its linguistic and technical meanings as understood by Quranic exegetes, and outlined its scopes. He also defined the semantics of linguistic structures, distinguished their differences, identified their categories and principles, and noted the earliest scholars who documented them in foundational texts. The researcher established the connections between the discussions of linguistic semantics among scholars of Islamic jurisprudence (usuliyyin) and rhetoricians (bayaniyyin). In the applied section of the thesis, the second chapter is dedicated to an applied study of semantic contemplation of Surah Yusuf (peace be upon him), extracting dozens of contemplative insights through a systematic and disciplined methodology. The study resulted in 210 contemplative insights, one-third of which relate to the science of rhetoric (balagha), while two-thirds pertain to the field of semantics. This underscores the critical importance of the science of semantics in Quranic contemplation.

The Illuminations of Guidance in Surah Al-An’am :An Exegesis of Verse 125
This paper examines the divine verse: “So whoever Allah wills to guide—He opens his heart to Islam; and whoever He wills to leave astray—He makes his breast tight and constricted, as though he were climbing into the sky. Thus does Allah place defilement upon those who do not believe” (Qur’an, al-Anʿām 6:125). The study aims to extract guiding principles from this verse and to apply its insights to the contemporary crises confronting the Muslim community, which stem from a departure from Qur’anic guidance. Employing both inductive and analytical methods, the research seeks to uncover the structural coherence and moral vision embedded in the verse. It concludes by urging scholars and seekers of guidance to revive the contemplative methodology of the early generations and to fulfill the Qur’anic command to reflect upon the Divine Word. The paper also recommends institutional initiatives, such as academic competitions on tadabbur (contemplation), to compile collective insights into comprehensive reference works that serve the broader ummah.

Report on "The Qur'an: Knowledge and Action" Project
This report presents a comprehensive overview of "The Qur'an: Knowledge and Action" project, a scholarly applied initiative aimed at reviving the Prophetic methodology in engaging with the Noble Qur'an. The project originated from examining the methodology by which the Companions learned the Qur'an, as they would study ten verses and not proceed until they learned the knowledge and action contained therein. The project is built on two fundamental pillars: a conceptual-foundational axis for inductively studying and analyzing Qur'anic terminology related to contemplation (tadabbur), and a practical-skill-based axis for examining the Prophet's ﷺ and his Companions' methodology in engaging with the Qur'an. The project includes vertical programs (such as contemplating words, verses, and chapters) and horizontal programs (such as contemplating cosmic signs, parables, narratives, and Prophetic biography), in addition to complementary programs like "The Sunnah: Knowledge and Action" and the Young Contemplator curriculum. The project has achieved tangible accomplishments by establishing specialized Qur'anic institutions, training over ten thousand participants, publishing numerous books and scholarly materials, and participating in international conferences, where the Young Contemplator curriculum won first place globally as the best contemplative approach. The project aspires to realize its vision that every Muslim worldwide applies the Prophetic methodology in engaging with the Qur'an within ten years.

Editing the statement regarding what the commentators said about it, “a complete pause,” and its effect on the meaning from the beginning of Surah Maryam to the end of Surah An-Nas
This study offers an applied analysis of the instances of *perfect pauses* (waqf tāmm) explicitly identified by Qur’anic exegetes in their commentaries on the verses spanning from Surah Maryam to Surah Al-Nās. It aims to clarify the terpretive and rhetorical effects of such pauses on the meaning of the verses. The study is limited to instances of perfect pause as cited in works of tafsīr (Qur’anic exegesis), excluding those mentioned solely in independent works on *waqf and ibtidā’*. This study seeks to achieve several key objectives: - To highlight the relationship between the perfect pause and Qur’anic interpretation. - To demonstrate the impact of the pause on grasping Qur’anic meanings. - To identify the most likely exegetical opinion based on the implications of the pause. - To contribute to the reflective contemplation (*tadabbur*) of the Qur’an. The researcher adopted an inductive, analytical, and critical methodology, which included: - Collecting relevant examples through survey of exegetical sources. - Arranging verses in accordance with the order of the sūrahs. - Presenting and analyzing the positions of the exegetes. - Critically assessing these positions and providing reasoned preference. - Analyzing the interpretive and rhetorical consequences o The most important research results and recommendations: The study reached several conclusions and offered practical recommendations, most notably: - The perfect pause has interpretive and rhetorical significance in many instances and may lead to differences in understanding. - Differences among exegetes regarding some instances of perfect pause often stem from variation in recitations (qirāʾāt) or interpretive perspectives. - Identifying the perfect pause reveals the precision of exegetes in handling the Qur’anic text and underscores the expressive power of the Arabic language. - Incorporating perfect pause notations in tafsīr-based Qur’anic editions. - Encouraging applied research that explores the connection between pause and interpretation. - Compiling scholarly indices that classify instances of perfect pause by exegetical themes. **Research Submission and Publication Timeline** - **Received**: 24-12-1446 AH (24-06-2025 AD) - **Accepted**: 04-03-1447 AH (27-08-2025 AD) - **Expected Publication**: Issue 20, Rajab 1447 AH (January 2026 AD) - **Processing Time to Acceptance**: 64 days - **Total Time from Receipt to Expected Publication**: 205 days - **Average Publishing Time from Receipt**: 135 days - **Published Online**: 27-04-1447 AH (19-10-2025 AD)

The Miraculous Nature of the Quranic Readings in the Word of Allah "But Satan caused them to slip out of it")
The paper discusses the readings narrated in the Word of Allah ("But Satan caused them to slip out of it") [Al-Baqarah: 36], clarifying the readings, their origins, and their impact on the verse's meaning and direction. It examines critiques against these readings and their refutations, as well as the miraculous nature of the verse in accommodating diverse connotations without conflict. Finally, it explores the impact of these readings on a Muslim's conduct. This topic emerges from a key principle highlighted by scholars, namely, that the diversity of readings is equivalent to the multiplicity of verses. When a verse has multiple readings, each reading has an independent meaning distinct from the others, and each yields an additional meaning beyond the others. Therefore, examining the readings of the same verse and distinguishing between them is crucial for clearly elucidating the meaning of the verse, extracting the additional insights it offers compared to other readings, clarifying its rulings, and demonstrating that this constitutes one of the aspects of the Quran's miraculous nature.

Research Methodology: The research adopts the descriptive artistic approach, and takes advantage the principles of comparison theory in examining the feature characteristics of Quranic structures and tracing the subtleties of their semantics in support of his idea and to progress its objective. The most prominent research results are: Firstly: The research finds out the noble behavior of its rhetoric of the differentiation of the ranks of delight (Paradise) in Gardens (Surat Ar-Rahman) in an accurate manner which does show the great differences between them. Secondly: It is likely that the purpose o for delaying the exhortation through mentioning the gardens upon the intimidation through indicating the Fire along with causes of the despair and open the doors of hope for the disobedient if they repent and turn back to Allah. Thirdly: It is clarified as a result of mentioning the people with the two highest Gardens, without showing the people with the two lower Gardens, is mentioning those ones stated, and the praise of the ranks of their fear in the presence of position of their Allah, may His Glory be praised. Fourthly: The research seeks that the people with the two lower Gardens, who are not mentioned, -be ones weighted the hope; as the servant’s relationship with Allah, may His Glory be praised, is based on doing the servant of both fear and hope, so if the people with the first two gardens are “ones who fear,” and their rank is higher, then the two lower delight (Paradise) are ones who hope, and the rank of their later two Gardens, as stated by the noble comparisons, is lower, and Allah Almighty knows best. Fifthly: (Surat Ar-Rahman) states, through the differentiation of these two ranks, - that the reward of the people in the Hereafter is going to be based on their deeds, and that their reward will be performed as per the differentiation of their diligence.

Report on a scientific thesis entitled:” Thewords of (la ilaha illa Allah) in the Holy Quran“Objective study
The phrase "There is no god but Allah" is the great word for which creation was made, for which messengers were sent, and for which heavenly books were revealed. There is no doubt that the Noble Qur’an, the final and most esteemed of these books, and the most eloquent in expression, has given this great word utmost attention. It appears in the Qur’an in forty instances, supported by evidence and proofs, associated with Allah’s names, attributes, and actions. It is also linked with the commands and prohibitions it entails, as well as the profound meanings that point to its significance and implications, within wondrous Qur’anic contexts that testify to the truth of this Qur’an and that it is "from One Wise and Knowing" [An-Naml: 6]. Therefore, studying this great word through the Qur’an—considering the ways it is addressed, the interpretations of scholars regarding its meanings, styles, and contexts, and examining it objectively—is an urgent and critically important matter. This is due to the clarity and explanation it provides for the meaning of this great word through the Noble Qur’an.

Tadabbur al-Qur'an: A Foundational Study Doctoral Dissertation Report Tadabbur Journal, Issue 1, Muharram 1438 / October 2016
This scholarly report presents a doctoral dissertation titled "Tadabbur al-Qur’an: A Foundational Study", defended at the College of the Qur’an and Islamic Studies at the Islamic University of Madinah. The study aims to systematically and academically ground the concept of Tadabbur (deep reflection on the Qur’an), distinguishing it from overlapping concepts such as tafsir (exegesis), contemplation, and pondering. The researcher employed an analytical approach, examining Qur’anic discourse alongside classical exegetical and linguistic sources. The study outlines the legal and methodological foundations of Tadabbur, its various forms, and its impact on the development of the Muslim character. Among the key findings is that Tadabbur is a devotional practice firmly rooted in the Qur’an and Sunnah, deeply connected to real-life contexts, and one of the most powerful tools for cultivating religious and intellectual awareness. The dissertation recommends incorporating "Qur’anic Tadabbur" into both general and higher education curricula, training teachers and preachers in its practical methods, and establishing dedicated centers to apply its principles in public life.

The introduction gives an idea about the topic and its importance, the aim of the study, the methodology, the research questions, the literature review, and the research plan. The opening chapter is about Sūrat al-Hujurāt, the text of the revelation and the requirements of the content. The first chapter comprises the method of interaction with Allah and His Messenger, and includes two subtitles. The first one discusses the method of interaction with Allah, may He be exalted, in Belief (‘Aqīdah) and Legal system (Sharī’ah). The second subtitle is about the interaction with the Prophetic context. The second chapter is about the method of human interaction. This title includes two subtitles: While the first one is about interaction in the shadow of the unity of mankind, the second one deals with the method of interaction in terms of human societies. Finally, the conclusion includes the most important results and recommendations. The aim of this research is to present the methodology of the Holy Qur’an for the interaction of the Muslim with Allah and His Messenger, Peace be Upon Him. It also highlights the interaction between the Muslim and other non-Muslim human beings as mentioned in Sūrat al-Hujurāt.

The Eloquence of the Qur’an in the Conclusion of Verses: A Foundational Study
Among the unique rhetorical features of the Qurʾānic style is the practice of concluding verses with endings that harmonize with their content, serving to elucidate and affirm their meanings. Qurʾānic exegetes have long paused to reflect on this distinctive trait, delving deeply into its nuances. This study revolves around elucidating the meaning of tadhīl (verse-ending), its significance for scholarly inquiry, and the distinction between it and the fāṣilah (verse pause or cadence). It highlights the paramount importance of studying tadhīl through several key dimensions, including: leveraging this discipline to deepen comprehension of God’s Book; illuminating a vital facet of the Qurʾān’s miraculous inimitability; clarifying the intricacies of tadhīl; and refuting the doubts raised by Orientalists and adversaries of the faith concerning Qurʾānic unity. Beyond these, it aids in reinforcing memorization of the Qurʾān. The study further explores the benefits of tadhīl, the principles for discerning its subtleties, and its defining characteristics. Drawing on authoritative sources in rhetoric, exegesis, and Qurʾānic sciences, the researcher has prioritized a rigorous foundational approach to the subject-distinguishing tadhīl from the fāṣilah, demonstrating the impact of this field on grasping meanings, extracting fine details, and dispelling ambiguities.

The Third International Conference on Qur'anic Studies, titled "Qur'anic Studies and Muslims in the West," was held in Manchester, UK, (July 31 - August 2, 2015). It was organized by the European Academy for Qur'anic Studies and the Saudi Scientific Society for the Holy Qur'an and its Sciences (Tebyan), alongside the University of Salford. The conference aimed to affirm the Qur'an's timeless relevance and utilize Qur'anic studies in educating Muslim youth and addressing community challenges in the West, continuing previous efforts to promote the Qur'an and its contemplation (Tadabbur). Researchers and academics from Arab and European countries participated, presenting 44 papers and four specialized workshops. The conference themes were structured around eight main axes, focusing on: Qur'anic values and their impact on education, manifestations of honoring humanity and women’s rights in the Qur'an, the practical models and influencing factors of Qur'anic Tadabbur, and contemporary methods for teaching and contemplating the Qur'an. Key research topics included Qur'anic dialogue, human rights comparisons with global systems, objectives derived from Qur'anic oaths and narratives, and technology in Qur'an service (e.g., electronic recitation centers). The conferees recommended establishing specialized centers to support Western Muslims through Qur'anic guidance, empowering Muslim women, developing methods for Qur'an comprehension and Tadabbur using modern technology, and clarifying the Qur'an's moderate approach to human rights. It was also agreed to hold the Fourth Conference focusing on: "Justice and Benevolence in the Holy Qur'an and the Prophetic Sunnah."
