Abstract

This research aims to show aspects of the relationship between the interpretive heritage and the modern Pragmatics approach by highlighting the features of the deliberative approach to the language of the Holy Qur'an by Abdul Hamid al-Farahi, based on his heritage in interpretation and Qur'anic sciences, where he celebrated the importance of recognizing the relationship between the language of the Qur'an and the ancient Arabic use of language. The research focused on the importance of recognizing the relationship between the language of the Qur'an and the ancient Arabic use of language, and the impact of the linguistic, linguistic and Pragmatics data during the revelation of the Qur'an on the meanings of its vocabulary, methods and ways of organizing and expressing, and the need to take into account the specificity of the language of the Qur'an as a message of revelation, and the conditions of those who addressed it, the first recipients of its message, and its addressee.


The research adopted the analytical approach in extracting Al-Farahi's efforts in employing the concepts of the Pragmatics approach in the study of the language of the Qur'an, overcoming the issues that some interpreters and orientalists fell into, and monitoring their impact in opening horizons for optimal reflection on the Holy Qur'an.


The research reached some of the most important results: Al-Farahi's studies and researches in the study of the language of the Holy Quran at the level of vocabulary, methods, systems and context will undoubtedly realize the richness of his studies and the use of the concepts of Pragmatics analysis in the study of Quranic stylistic phenomena, which confirms that scholars of interpretation were earlier to apply the contents of many Pragmatics linguistic theories, even if they did not call them modern terms.


The research concludes that the heritage of Imam Abdul Hamid al-Farahi in tafsir and Qur'anic sciences in general and in the linguistic study of the Holy Qur'an in particular is rich in what enriches the contemporary Qur'anic study, although it has not yet received the study, scrutiny and follow-up it deserves.
