İ‘TİZÂLÎ DÜŞÜNCENİN ÂYETLERİN DİLSEL YORUMUNA ETKİSİ
THE EFFECT OF I‘TIZALI THOUGHT ON THE LINGUISTIC INTERPRETATION OF THE VERSES OF QUR’AN

Summary/Abstract: Mu‘tazila has an important place in the history of Islamic thought. At the same time, it is a theological school that tries to justify the theological principles related to Islam with rational principles. Encountering people from different religions and cultures after the conquests and the increase in scientific and cultural developments due to these conquests were also an important factor in the emergence of the Mu‘tazila. With the emergence of the Mu‘tazila school in the field of creed, it began to form its own principles of belief. In this context, they adopted the principles of “tawhid, adl, va'd and vaîd, al-manzila bayn al-manzilatayn and al-‘amr bi al-ma‘rûf nahy ‘an al-munkar”, which they refer to as “al-usul al-khamsa”. They tried to express all their thoughts and issues in the field of belief within the framework of these principles. They tried to express all their thoughts and issues in the field of theology within the framework of these principles. In addition, they have made an effort not to put forth an opinion contrary to the texts of the Qur‘an on theological issues. However, they saw that they sometimes contradicted their own principles and the verses of the Qur‘an. Therefore, they tried to benefit from the possibilities of the Arabic language in order to interpret the aforementioned verses in accordance with their own creed. Parallel to this, mu‘tazilite nahw scholars interpreted the apparent meanings of the verses, which they deem contrary to their ı‘tizalî thoughts, in accordance with their own creed by taking advantage of the language’s possibilities. In this study, we tried to deal with the issues of how Mutazilite Nahw scholars used the Arabic language to interpret the verses of the Qur’an according to their own creed principles.
