Abstract
Ahmed Sheikh Abdul Salam begins his article by introducing and defining Islamic doctrine and grammatical analysis. He then addresses the intersection of language and doctrine, linguistic study and doctrine, and the correspondence between grammar (syntax) and doctrine. He discusses facets of the impact of doctrine in grammatical analysis, such as building doctrinal linguistic theories, linguists’ utilization of grammatical analysis to defend Qur’anic methods, inferring doctrinal indications, and doctrinal orientation for structuring. Abdul Salam notes the areas where such impact is most evident and concludes with suggesting the utilization of linguistic study in inferring intellectual and civilizational indications from Islamic discourse, and redefining the fields of linguistic interpretation of religious texts for the benefit of contemporary Islamic thought.
