Abstract

The title of this research is "Ṣīgh al-ʿUmūm – A Uṣūlī Applied Study on Sūrat al-Aʿrāf." It
consists of an introduction, There sections (mabāḥith), and a conclusion. The muqaddimah
(introduction) covers the foundational aspects of the study. The first section discusses the
concept of the general term (ʿām) and related terminologies and classifications. This
includes the various types of ʿām in terms of how its generality is identified, whether it is
used in a general or specific context, its legal ruling (ḥukm), and cases where a general
expression is intended to mean something specific (ʿām yurād bihi al-khuṣūṣ), as well as
the ʿām muṭlaq mukhaṣṣaṣ (unqualified general term that has been specified). The second
section elaborates on these types, their definitions, and examples. The third section applies
these general expressions to the āyāt al-aḥkām (verses of rulings) in Sūrat al-Aʿrāf,
addressing the features of the sūrah, the reason for its name and revelation, its virtues, and
general rulings. It also includes applications of ʿām to its verses. The conclusion presents
the research findings, recommendations, and lists of sources and references.
