نظرية تاريخية النص الديني والرد عليها في ضوء قاعدة "العبرة بعموم اللفظ، لا بخصوص السبب"

Abstract

The research paper aims at studying the theory of the historicism and its basic determinants in Western thought with a view to refuting this theory in the light of the jurisprudential rule of "the meaning of an Islamic text understands through the generalized meaning of its words, not the specific reason it was revealed upon". The researcher makes an attempt to clarify the points of agreement and disagreement between Islamic and Western thoughts regarding this theory, and to look for the extent of its application to the Text of Holy Quran and Sunnah. The researcher relied on several scientific methods, including the inductive, analytical and critical method, and reached to the conclusion that Historicism with its Western intellectual determinants is not appropriate to apply on Islamic texts, because it opposes the fundamental determinants of Islamic thought.
