خواص القرآن : منهج الإمام السيوطي في كتابه الإتقان في علوم القرآن

Abstract

This research delves into the Quranic properties, also known as Al-Khaṣā'iṣ Al-Qur'āniyya, by analyzing Imam Al-Suyuti’s methodology in his renowned work Al-Itqān fī ʿUlūm Al-Qur'ān. The study is guided by a central question: How did Al-Suyuti categorize and interpret the spiritual and healing properties of Quranic verses? Using an analytical approach, the research explores how Al-Suyuti identified the therapeutic, protective, and mystical effects of the Quran. By drawing from authentic traditions, scholarly insights, and the lived experiences of early Muslims, the article demonstrates how these Quranic properties were applied in daily life. The study highlights how Al-Suyuti's approach bridges traditional Islamic sciences with the practical use of the Quran’s miraculous properties for healing and spiritual elevation. Furthermore, the research emphasizes the enduring relevance of these properties in modern Islamic thought, offering valuable insights into how the inherent powers of the Quran were historically recognized and can continue to benefit contemporary Muslim communities.
