An Analysis of the Modern Period Parable Theory: The Case of ʿIzzat Darwaza
Abstract
ʿIzzat Darwaza, one of the modern period commentators, differs significantly from the traditional understanding with his method of interpreting Qur'anic parables. Darwaza is of the opinion that the first generation had knowledge of the parables. He tried to prove this view through various quotations from the Qur'anic verses and biblical texts. In this framework, he emphasized the verses that supported his claim and taʾwīl the verses that did not coincide with his claim with compelling interpretations. It is possible to observe a similar approach in Darwaza’s comparison of the Qur'anic parables with the content of the previous heavenly books. When he comes across statements in the biblical texts that contradict the Qur'an, he is content to say that the information found in the original copies of the Qur'an at the time of its revelation is compatible with the Qur'an. Darwaza has also characterized parables as one of the secondary elements of religion that one must believe in, since he considers the knowledge of parables as part of the mutashābihs that Allah has made exclusive to Himself. For this reason, he argued that the words and phrases in the parables should not be analyzed. However, under the influence of the modern age, he sometimes did not remain faithful to his method and tried to rationalize the miraculous elements in the parables by ta'wīlīlizing them. Sometimes, he pointed out some contradictory statements in the parables, but he did not make any suggestions on how to compose and resolve them. This has been the starting point of some orientalists' negative discourses about the Qur'an. In this respect, this study aims to reveal the originality and consistency of Darwaza's theory in understanding and interpreting the parables. For this, Darwaza's views and thoughts on parables will be analyzed analytically. In addition, in order to identify the unique aspects of his theory that contribute to the science of tafsir, Darwaza's views and the prominent parable approaches in the modern period will be discussed in a comparative manner.
