Kurdistan:
\nAcademic Course Discusses \u201cThe Dominant Book\u201d and Reinforces the Quran\u2019s
\nAuthority over Previous Scriptures<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

The Kurdistan branch of the
\nInternational Union of Muslim Scholars held a specialized academic course for
\nProfessor Dr. Mohsen Abdulhamid, focusing on his book \u201cThe Dominant Book\u201d, on
\nSaturday, January 24, at the branch headquarters in the region. The event was
\nattended by approximately 40 union members, along with a select group of
\npreachers, imams, and khutbah (sermon) speakers.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

An Academic
\nApproach to the Concept of Quranic Authority<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

During the course, Dr.
\nAbdulhamid presented the main themes and ideas of his book in an organized
\nacademic manner, emphasizing that the central focus of the book is based on the
\ninterpretation of the verse:<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\u0648\u064e\u0645\u064f\u0647\u064e\u064a\u0652\u0645\u0650\u0646\u064b\u0627 \u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u064a\u0652\u0647\u0650\ufd3e<\/span>

He clarified that the concept of
\n\u201cdominance\u201d does not imply control or coercion but rather denotes scholarly and
\nlegal oversight. The Quran serves as the ultimate reference that validates the
\ntruth found in previous scriptures and clarifies any inconsistencies or
\nmisunderstandings in their interpretation or application.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Scholarly Insights
\ninto the Relationship Between the Quran and Previous Scriptures<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

The book addresses several key
\nthemes, including:<\/o:p><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7    
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>Linguistic Analysis:
\nExamining the meaning of \u201cal-Muhaymin\u201d in Arabic, including terms such as
\nwitness, protector, trustworthy, and reference.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7    
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>Quranic Legal
\nSignificance: Demonstrating that the verse defines the Quran\u2019s role as a
\nwitness, guardian, and authority over previous scriptures.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7    
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>Relationship with Earlier
\nScriptures: Affirming that the Quran does not entirely negate previous books
\nbut rather confirms what is correct in them and rectifies areas of discrepancy.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7    
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>Theological and Practical
\nDimensions: Establishing the Quran as the supreme reference for belief,
\nlegislation, and guidance.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Intellectual
\nConclusions and Scholarly Message<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

The book concludes that the
\nQuran\u2019s dominance is intellectual and doctrinal, based on witness and
\nauthority, rather than formal or political superiority. It highlights the
\nprofound connection between Quranic words and their theological meanings within
\nestablished linguistic and legal foundations.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

This course is part of ongoing
\nefforts to enhance scholarly and intellectual awareness and to provide a
\nrigorous, methodical reading of major Quranic concepts, contributing to a
\nbalanced and conscious religious discourse.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n
