Shaping a Qur'anic Worldview

Exploring the subjectivity of the Qurʾān’s meaning in the world, this book analyses Qurʾānic referencing in Muslim political rhetoric. Informed by classical Arabic-Islamic rhetorical theory, the author examines Arabic documents attributed to the ʿAbbāsid Caliph al-Maʾmūn (r. 813-833), whose rule coincided with the maturation of classical Islamic political thought and literary culture. She demonstrates how Qurʾānic referencing functions as tropological exegesis, whereby verses in the Qurʾān are reinterpreted through the lens of subjective experience. At the same time socio-historical experiences are understood in terms of the Qurʾān’s moral typology, which consists of interrelated polarities that define good and bad moral characters in mutual orientation. Through strategic deployment of scriptural references within the logical scheme of rhetorical argument, the Caliph constructs moral analogies between paradigmatic characters in the Qurʾān and people in his social milieu, and situates himself as moral reformer and guide, in order to persuade his audiences of the necessity of the Caliphate and the religio-moral imperative of obedience to his authority. The Maʾmūnid case study is indicative of the nature and function of Qurʾānic referencing across historical periods, and thus contributes to broader conversations about the impact of the Qurʾān on the shaping of Islamic civilization. This book is an invaluable resource for those with an interest in Early Islamic History, Islam and the rhetoric of contemporary Middle East regional and global Islamic politics.

The Text Linguistics of Qur'anic Discourse

Text Linguistics of Qur'anic Discourse: A Text Analysis offers one of the first comprehensive investigations in the new academic discipline of Qu'ranic text linguistics, applying Western linguistics theory to Qur'anic discourse. Its informed and detailed analysis of Qur'anic discourse covers key elements including (i) the texture of the macro Qur'anic text, (ii) the cohesion and coherence systems of the Qur'anic text, (iii) the major notions of the macro Qur'anic text such as intertextuality, semantic relatedness, and thematic sequentiality, (iv) the macro Qur'anic textual features of ellipsis and repetition, and (v) the contextual, co-textual, grammatical, and semantic factors involved in the macro Qur'anic text. The value of European theoretical linguistics to the analysis of the Qur'anic text at a macro level has been overlooked in the academic literature to date. This book addresses this research gap, providing a key resource for students and scholars of linguistics and specifically working in Arabic or Qur'anic Studies.

Adventures of a Qur'anic Family

How great would it be if we, as families, could learn at least some of the verses from the Holy Qur'an and apply them in our daily situations. This would be a big step in helping our children to understand the Holy Book and apply its teachings in their lives, thus utilising the Qur'an for what it is meant for. In this series of short stories, meet a Muslim family who try to do exactly that. Follow the adventures of Maryam (3 years), Muhammad (6 years) and Fatima (8 years) as they try their best to learn and apply simple but effective Qur'anic verses in their daily lives. The book also includes lots of tips and innovative ideas to teach your children more about the Holy Book.

New Horizons in Qur'anic Linguistics

New Horizons in Qur'anic Linguistics provides a panoramic insight into the Qur'anic landscape fenced by innate syntactic, semantic and stylistic landmarks where context and meaning have closed ranks to impact morphological form in order to achieve variegated illocutionary forces. It provides a comprehensive account of the recurrent syntactic, stylistic, morphological, lexical, cultural, and phonological voids that are an iceberg looming in the horizon of Qur'anic genre. It is an invaluable resource for contrastive linguistics, translation studies, and corpus linguistics. Among the linguistic topics are: syntactic structures, ellipsis, synonymy, polysemy, semantic redundancy, incongruity, and contrastiveness, selection restriction rule, componential features, collocation, cyclical modification, foregrounding, backgrounding, pragmatic functions and categories of shift, pragmatic distinction between verbal and nominal sentences, morpho-semantic features of lexical items, context-sensitive word and phrase order, vowel points and phonetic variation. The value of European theoretical linguistics to the analysis of the Qur’anic text at a macro level has been overlooked in the academic literature to date and this book addresses this research gap, providing a key resource for students and scholars of linguistics and specifically working in Arabic or Qur’anic Studies.

Schools of Qur'anic Exegesis

Qur’anic exegesis has become the battleground of political Islam and theological conflict among various Muslim schools of thought. Using comparative and contrastive methodology, examples from the Qur'an are investigated in the light of various theological views to delineate the birth, development and growth of Qur'anic exegesis. The political status quo, in the past and at present, has impinged upon Qur’anic exegesis more than on any other discipline in Islamic studies. This book illustrates the dichotomy between mainstream and non-mainstream Islam, showing how Qur’anic exegesis reflects the subtle dogmatic differences and political cleavages in Islamic thought. Chapters explore in depth the intrusive views of the compilers of early exegesis manuscripts, the scepticism among Western scholars about the authenticity of early Muslim works of exegesis and of prophetic tradition, and the role of exegesis as a tool to reaffirm the Qur’an as a canon. Written to appeal to those with comparative exegetical interests as well as those focused on Islamic studies in general, this book will be an important reference for research students, scholars, and students of Islamic Studies, Theology, Religious studies and Middle Eastern Studies.

Theological Approaches to Qur'anic Exegesis

This book provides a comprehensive and systematic analysis of the various schools of Qur'anic exegesis, from the earliest periods through to the present day. Employing a comparative-contrastive methodology, the author examines traditional and rational schools of thought – such as the Mu'tazili, Shi'i, Ibadi, Sufi, metaphysical, modern, and scientific approaches to the interpretation of the Qur'an – to give a detailed analysis of the similarities and differences in their theological views. The study spans a broad period, covering exegetical techniques adopted in Qur'anic exegesis from its infancy during the 1st/7th century up to the beginning of the 15th/21st century. Furnished with copious micro- and macro-level examples which explicate the Qur'anic notions and the points of view relevant to each school and exegetical approach, the book provides a rounded empirical study of Islamic thought. This thorough and holistic historical investigation is an important contribution to the study of Qur'anic exegesis and Islamic theology, and as such will be of enormous interest to scholars of religion, philosophy and Islamic studies.

Controlling und Berliner Balanced Scorecard Ansatz

Unternehmenscontrolling braucht Strategien und Ziele, die von der Unternehmensleitung und verschiedenen Gruppen wie Aufsichtsrat und Geschaftsfuhrern vorgegeben werden. Strategien und Ziele mussen im Rahmen des strategischen und operativen Controllings bewertet, kardinal quantifiziert werden und fur die Steuerfunktionen berechnet werden. Mit dem Instrument der Berliner Balanced Scorecard werden Strategien in Ziele, Ziele in Kennzahlen und Kennzahlen zu weiteren Instrumenten des Rechnungswesens nach IFRS uberfuhrt, z.B. Deckungsbeitragsrechnung, Wertschopfungsrechnungen, CFRoI, EBIT, Kapitalflussrechnung oder die Berliner Humankapitalbewertungsrechnung. Mit dem Shareholder Value Approach wird die Berliner Balanced Scorecard dynamisiert und zeigt einen Nettokapitalwert der ersparten Ausgaben oder des erzielbaren Mittelzuflusses an, der durch ein Projekt erzielt werden kann, z.B. Humankapital bei der Realisierung der Investition in das Personal. Dies setzt eine akzeptierte Controllinglogik zur Performancemessung im Unternehmen voraus, die z.B. die Finanzorientierte Personalwirtschaft liefert."
