| dc.description.abstract | Islam has a relationship with the other Abrahamic faiths, namely Judaism and Christianity, through the concept of Wiḥdah al-Dīn. This concept affects Islam in many ways. Not only it affects in the principal matters of faith, such as the belief in the other prophets, but it also affects belief in the previous sacred revelations, such as the Tawrāh, Zabūr and Injīl. From this belief in the previous sacred revelations, some Muslims resort to the Isrā’īliyyāt to understand Islam. Nevertheless, to use sources from other religions to understand Islam, specifically in this case of Isrā’īliyyāt, seems confusing and perplexing. Chronologically, polemic on the use of Isrā’īliyyāt had begun since the age of the Prophet Muhammad. This issue is not only restricted to the Muslim circle, but it also prompts questions from the Jews and the Christians as to why Muslims would source the Torah and the Bible to understand Islam. This paper highlights issues related to the use of Isrā’īliyyāt in Muslim scholarship by exposing some positions in the Islamic rulings and the sharī cah justifications for these positions. These positions in the Islamic rulings and its sharīcah justifications are extracted through the use of textual analysis methodology. It is suggested that from understanding these justifications that one can make sense of the use of Isrā’īliyyāt in Muslim Scholarship. It is also suggested that from this principal understanding of the use of Isrā’īliyyāt in Muslim scholarship, the Biblical interpretation in the Islamic contexts should be developed and discussed by the present and future scholars of Muslim-Christian studies. | en_US |
