Abstract

To establish the authority of the Quran as a comprehensive and infallible source in the humanities, interdisciplinary studies between the Quran and the humanities can lay the initial groundwork. Given the differences in research methodology between the humanities and the Quran, it is necessary to develop a methodology for interdisciplinary studies that facilitates epistemic connections between the two fields. To achieve this goal, considering the differences between existing humanities methodologies and Quranic studies, it is necessary to examine the methods through which an epistemic connection can be established between the data of the humanities and Quranic knowledge, and ultimately, an appropriate methodology should be presented. Methods such as discovery and inference, confirmation and completion, evaluation and refinement, reliance on Quranic presuppositions for the establishment of Islamic humanities, hypothesis formation based on Quranic teachings, indirect influence and non-intervention, and the production of humanities knowledge with Quranic fundamental teachings as theoretical premises are among the proposed approaches. However, none of these methods are complete or possess the necessary validity. Accordingly, this article, using a descriptive-analytical method, seeks to answer the question: Through what methodology can the scientific authority of the Quran be established in interdisciplinary studies of the Quran and the humanities? The findings of this research present a well-reasoned and acceptable methodology for interdisciplinary studies of the Quran and the humanities.
