N2  - This thesis examines the dynamic interpretations of the muqa??a?ah letter n?n at the beginning of Surah al-Qalam (68:1) within the pre-modern exegetical tradition. The muqa??a?ah letters have long been positioned as subjects of extensive debate within both Islamic scholarship and modern Western studies. The diverse spectrum of interpretations offered by commentators (mufassir?n) reflects the evolving nature of exegetical content throughout history and the intellectual shifts of the scholars themselves. While discussions on muqa??a?ah letters are vast, studies specifically tracing the historical trajectory of a single letter's meaning within pre-modern tafsīr remain limited.
Based on this background, the research focuses on two primary questions: 1) How were the various meanings of n?n constructed in pre-modern exegetical works? and 2) How did the process of inheritance and transformation of these interpretations occur within the pre-modern tafsīr tradition?
This study is a library research project that analyzes exegetical works from the early generations through the medieval period. The analysis employs a descriptive approach to map the diversity of interpretations, a genealogical approach to trace the continuities and shifts between commentators, and a historiographical approach to understand the interplay between exegesis and its socio-intellectual context. The theoretical framework views tafsīr as an evolving tradition shaped by intergenerational dialogue.
The findings reveal that in the pre-modern tafsīr tradition, the letter n?n was understood through several relatively consistent constructs. In early reports attributed to the ?a??bah (Companions) and T?bi??n (Successors), n?n was frequently interpreted as a cosmological symbol?such as the great fish supporting the earth?or as ink (daw?t) associated with the creation of the Pen and the recording of destiny. During the codification phase, particularly in the work of al-?abarī, these various narrations were compiled and preserved as a spectrum of inherited interpretation. In subsequent periods, the focus of commentators shifted toward linguistic, theological, and rational approaches. Consequently, n?n was also understood as part of the mysterious isolated letters, an element of a divine oath, or a verse whose definitive meaning is surrendered to God. These findings suggest that the interpretive diversity of n?n did not emerge in isolation but developed through a process of transmission, reproduction, and reinterpretation within the scholarly networks of tafsīr across generations.
