اسم الله اللطيف في ضوء السياق القرآني: دراسة تفسيرية دلالية د. عادل سليمان أحمد ضحوي

This study examines the Divine Name Al-Latif in the Holy Qur’an by analyzing its Qur’anic contexts, surveying exegetical views on its meaning, and investigating the role of context in directing its meaning in each occurrence. It aims to identify the linguistic and exegetical meanings of Al-Latif and examine its occurrences in light of their thematic, textual, and situational contexts and the accompanying Divine Names. The study employs the inductive method to identify the occurrences of the Name and survey exegetical views, and the analytical method to examine their contexts and semantic implications. The study is organized into a preliminary section and two main sections. The preliminary section addresses the meaning of the Divine Name Al-Latif and the concept of Qur’anic context. The first main section examines the occurrences of the Name in contexts of knowledge and encompassment, while the second examines its occurrences in contexts of divine management and subtle benevolence. The study concludes that Al-Latif conveys two complementary meanings: Allah’s perfect knowledge of subtle and hidden matters, and His benevolence toward His creation through the subtle management of their interests. The first meaning is prominent in the occurrences found in Surahs Al-An‘am, Luqman, and Al-Mulk, whereas the second is prominent in those found in Surahs Yusuf, Al-Hajj, and Al-Shura. The two meanings overlap in the occurrence found in Surat Al-Ahzab. The accompanying Divine Names further direct the meaning of Al-Latif, while the diversity of contexts reveals its interconnected semantic dimensions. Keywords: Al-Latif, Divine Names, Qur’anic Context, Semantic Exegesis, Knowledge of Hidden Matters, Divine Providence, Benevolence.
