Abstract

Qur’anic scholarship in the West nowadays is experiencing a change of nuance. It was marked by the emergence of Angelika Neuwirth’s study through the perspective of Late Antiquity. In the periodization of Western history, Late Antiquity is a time of the development of religions and the collapse of Roman civilization in Europe. Through this perspective, the Qur’ān have a connection with Jewish and Christian traditions in Europe. Including the relationship of the Qur’ān to the pagan traditions (pre-Islamic Arabia) in the Middle East. She seeks to open dialogue between scriptures and build awareness that the Qur’ān shares history with other scriptures as the Abrahamic religion during Late Antiquity. From this phenomenon, the researcher tries to explore the validity of the Late Antiquity context on the interpretation of the Qur’ān, especially in the thematic interpretation of the story of the Prophet Ibrahim. In achieving this goal, the researcher uses a content analysis critic and thematic interpretation (mawḍū’i). Through library research, the researcher analyzes some of important concepts in the study and then makes a comparison with the Islamic literature to produce a critique of Neuwirth’s thinking. The results show that Neuwirth takes a literary and historical-critical study through the micro-structure analysis of suras and intertextual studies to reveal contextual understanding within the framework of Late Antiquity. Firstly, she deconstructs the nature of the Qur’ān so that can be studied literally and historically. In the end, the Qur’ān is considered a product of human culture (muntaj thaqafi) that came into contact with pre-Islamic Arab and European civilizations. When analyzed, Neuwirth’s method is like the development of the Qur’ānic hermeneutic. It has implications for the interpretation of the story of Prophet Abraham in the Qur’ān. The results of Neuwirth’s interpretation experience changes in tone and meaning, and are limited to intertextuality reading through a Biblical perspective. Thus, the results of Neuwirth’s interpretation need to be scrutinized and criticized. The researcher hopes that further researchers can conduct a tahlīlī sūra analysis that the researchers missed. This is because the microstructure analysis conducted by Neuwirth is limited to the Makkiyah sūras. Keywords: Angelika Neuwirth; Late Antiquity; The Story of Prophet Abraham; Thematic Interpretation (mawdhu’i)
