«WUJUH AND NAZAIR» AS AN IMPORTANT DISCIPLINE OF THE QURANIC SCIENCES

Abstract

This article provides information about one of the primary areas of the classical Quranic sciences - «wujuh and nazair». The information and examples presented in the paper are important for modern studies of the Quran. Because, at the present this area is practically not found in the contemporary literature on the sciences of the Qur’an. The article provides information about the history of the region «wujuh and nazair», its development, scholars who worked in this field, the features and significance of this area, works related to this area, and research being conducted today. It also reveals the essence of research in the field of «wujuh and nazair», some examples from works related to this area, the importance of «wujuh and nazair», and samples that can be called «wujuh». In addition, a special place is given to the analysis of the terms «nazair» and «wujuh». For example, commentators draw attention pointing out the use of a single word in the Qur’an in the plural when mentioning a useful natural phenomenon that benefits people and animals, and the use of singular form when referring to destructive and deadly phenomenon, explaining harmful circumstances. It has been shown that if some words are used in the plural, then they have the meaning of blessing, while in singular, it means destructing and depressing the house and the crop. In «Tahsil Nazair al-Quran» by Hakim Tirmidhi, the sides related to the area of «wujuh and nazair» were also briefly highlighted. The article extensively uses the heritage of classical thinkers such as Muqatil ibn Sulaiman, Jalaluddin Suyuti, Badruddin Zarkashi, Khalil Ahmad Farahidi, Yahya Nawawi. It also refers to the books of modern researchers such as S. Avo, A. Atesh, A. Abdurrahman, N. Munajjid, E. Kuliyev
