Abstract

The thesis aims to survey and analyze the concept of tadabbur within classical and contemporary tafs?r literature, developing a comprehensive framework for engaging deeply with the Quran's meanings and messages. The research objectives include distinguishing between tafs?r and tadabbur, extracting the methodology of the Prophet ?, His Companions, and early Islamic scholars, and formulating a practical methodology that the average Muslim can use for Quranic reflection. The study employs a comprehensive analysis of classical and contemporary tafs?r literature to understand the evolving definitions and interpretations of tadabbur. It involves content analysis of Quranic verses, a??d?th, and historical reports focusing on the Prophet's methodology and the practices of early Muslims. The analysis covers spirituality, intellectual preparation, and practical implementation. The research identifies various methods used in the Quran to encourage tadabbur and elucidates the significance of deep reflection in understanding the divine message. The study provides a clear and structured methodology for engaging in tadabbur, highlighting the importance of intellectual, emotional, and spiritual connection with the Quran. It also outlines practical applications of tadabbur, demonstrating how it can enhance one's intellectual and spiritual engagement with the Quran. The study recommends developing educational programs and resources that promote the practice of tadabbur among Muslims. It suggests integrating the framework into Quranic studies curricula to encourage deep reflection and understanding of the Quran. Additionally, the research advocates for further scholarly work to refine and expand the framework of tadabbur, making it more accessible and practical for diverse Muslim communities. The thesis is expected to contribute significantly to the field of Quranic studies by providing a robust framework for tadabbur that is both accessible and practical. It aims to bridge the gap between traditional exegesis and contemporary needs, facilitating a deeper connection with the Quran for average Muslims. The research also aspires to enhance Muslims' intellectual and spiritual engagement with the Quran, promoting a holistic understanding of its teachings.
