Kritik terhadap Pemikiran Ahmad Khalaf Allah tentang Kisah dalam al-Qur’an
Abstract: There have been many
methods and ways to understand the message of the stories narrated in the
Qur’ân, one of which being that which is introduced by the contemporary Muslim
scholar named Ah}mad Khalaf Allâh. He is a specialist in the science of the
story of the Qur’ân, as it were. This paper deals with this man and his new
approach in understanding such story. It highlights the background of the man
and the intellectual environment that forced him to offer his new approach.
Speaking of stories in the Qur’ân as works of arts rather than as history, the
man is considered unique in his own right. The paper slightly compares him to
other scientists such as Muh}ammad ‘Abduh, Fakr al-Dîn al-Râzi and al-Naysâbûrî
and found that his approach is capable of addressing many problematic issues in
the Qur’ân as far as stories are concerned, such as (1) the problem of
inconsistence in the narration of the stories, (2) the notion of freedom of
expression in the Qur’ân, and (3) the fact that the Qur’ân does entertain the idea
of myth (asâtîr). The paper dwells into these three issues.
