Analisis Tinjauan Literatur Sistematik Berkaitan Al-ijaz Dan Al-itnab Dalam Al-quran

There has been a lot of debate among Muslim scholars on the elements of I'jāz al- Qurān or inimitability of the Qurān, particularly I'jāz bayāni which examines the language aspects. However, the elements of al-Ījāz or brevity and al-Iṭnāb or verbosity, which are part of the elements of I'jāz al-Qurān that influence a text's meaning, are given less attention. This is because most scholars focused their research on specific aspects of ‘Ilm al-Bayān, such as al-istiʻārah, al-tashbīh, alkināyah, and other related topics. al-Ījāz and al-Iṭnāb, however, are classified among the elements of ‘Ilm al-Maʻāni. Therefore, this paper focuses on previous studies written in both Malay and English about the elements of al-Ījāz and al-Iṭnāb in the Quran to see on the scopes those free online studies covered. This study adopted a qualitative approach using the document analysis method and employed a systematic literature review as the research framework. The analysis focuses on the studies’ designs, limitations, research methods, and findings. It was discovered that there were merely six (6) studies related to the elements of al-Ījāz and al-Iṭnāb through open access studies using Google Scholar and the Research Gate database. These findings are significant to indicate the importance of emphasizing issues involving lexical units, word structures, and utterance forms that may have implications on the meaning of the Qur'an. Consequently, it is recommended that previous research findings can be integrated with future research to investigate new issues concerning the rhetorical figures of al-Ījāz and al-Iṭnāb.
