I'JĀZ GHAIBĪ CONCERNING GUARANTEES OF FORTUNE IN LIFE (QS. HŪD: 6) IN THE AL-QUR'AN

Abstract

The Qur'an as a divine revelation has various dimensions of miracles (i'jaz), one of which is i'jaz ghāibī, namely the news of the unseen reality that is beyond the reach of human knowledge. This study aims to analyze the concept of guaranteed sustenance in QS. Hud [11]: 6 through the perspective of i'jaz ghāibī and its implications for the understanding of tawakkul and human endeavor. This study uses a qualitative method with a thematic interpretation approach (maudhu'i) through linguistic analysis and the opinions of classical and contemporary scholars. The results of the study show that the verse emphasizes the guarantee of sustenance for all creatures as part of the system of divine decrees that are unseen and universal. The dimension of i'jaz ghāibī is seen in God's knowledge of the distribution of sustenance, the whereabouts of creatures, and its recording in the Lauh Maḥfūẓ which cannot be reached by human reason. This understanding creates a balance between effort and trust and strengthens faith in the nature of Allah as al-Razzāq
