Takeaways

• 😀 Nasah refers to the concept of erasing or replacing a verse or law in Islamic jurisprudence, especially in the context of the Qur'an and Hadith.
• 😀 Nasah can also mean eliminating or replacing a law or verse with a new one, and it is tied to the concept of evolving evidence in Islamic legal rulings.
• 😀 Nasah is related to legal rulings in Islamic law (sharia) and does not apply to eternal concepts like faith or morality, which are fixed and unchangeable.
• 😀 There are two primary concepts: Nasih (the new ruling or verse that replaces the old) and Mansuh (the ruling or verse that is replaced or abolished).
• 😀 Not all verses in the Qur'an are subject to Nasah; only those related to sharia law and practical religious practices are affected.
• 😀 Legal texts that are abolished must be related to Islamic jurisprudence and not to fixed beliefs or moral values.
• 😀 The concept of Nasah in Islamic jurisprudence involves the gradual development of laws, from lighter to more restrictive or vice versa.
• 😀 Nasah in the Qur'an may involve direct changes within the Qur'an itself or the interaction between the Qur'an and Hadith, though opinions on this vary among scholars.
• 😀 Some scholars argue that a Hadith can abolish or refine Qur'anic laws if it is of the same level of authenticity (mutawatir).
• 😀 The practice of Nasah includes scenarios where the reading of a verse is removed but the legal ruling still applies, or vice versa, such as in the case of the prohibition of alcohol.
• 😀 The wisdom of Nasah lies in showcasing that Allah’s will is not bound by human logic but is tailored for the welfare of mankind, allowing for gradual implementation of laws.

Q & A

What is the main topic discussed in the script?

The main topic of the script is the concept of 'nasih' and 'mansuh' in the context of the interpretation of texts in the Qur'an, specifically focusing on the idea of the abrogation of laws or verses.

What does the term 'nasah' mean linguistically?

Linguistically, 'nasah' comes from the root word 'nasakho', meaning to erase or delete something. In the context of the Qur'an, it refers to the abrogation or replacement of one verse or law with another.

What is the difference between 'nasih' and 'mansuh'?

'Nasih' refers to the new proposition or verse that replaces the previous law or ruling, while 'mansuh' refers to the argument or ruling that has been abrogated or replaced by a new verse.

Are all verses in the Qur'an subject to nasah (abrogation)?

No, not all verses in the Qur'an are subject to nasah. Only those related to sharia (Islamic law) can be abrogated, not those that are permanent, such as beliefs or moral teachings.

What kinds of laws are subject to nasah?

Only laws related to religious practices or Islamic jurisprudence are subject to nasah. Laws that deal with eternal matters, like belief in monotheism or the moral duties towards parents, are not subject to nasah.

What is the significance of the order of revelation (tartib nuzuli) in understanding nasah?

The order of revelation is crucial because the last verse revealed typically abrogates the ruling of earlier verses on the same matter. This historical context helps in understanding which verses supersede others.

Can the hadith (sunnah) abrogate the Qur'an?

There are differing opinions among scholars. Some believe that hadith cannot abrogate the Qur'an due to the Qur'an's higher status in Islamic law, while others believe that mutawatir (authentic) hadith can abrogate the Qur'an under certain conditions.

What is an example of nasah within the Qur'an itself?

An example is the change in the direction of prayer (qibla). Initially, Muslims prayed facing Baitul Maqdis, but later a Qur'anic verse abrogated this ruling, establishing the Ka'bah in Mecca as the qibla.

What is the meaning of 'tilawah text' in the context of nasah?

A 'tilawah text' refers to verses whose recitation has been removed from the Qur'an but whose legal ruling still applies. For example, the verse related to stoning for adultery is no longer recited but its legal implication remains.

What is the wisdom behind the practice of nasah in Islamic law?

Nasah confirms that Allah’s will is not bound by human logic and is intended to guide the welfare of mankind. It shows the gradual development of Islamic law, where certain laws are revealed progressively to ease implementation and understanding.
