A Study of the Context andBackground of the Application ofQur’anic Ayahs in Two Works of Ruzbihan

In the present article, which used a descriptive-analytical method accompanied by integration and comparison, the common verses of Ruzbihan's Mantiq al-Asrar and Sharh al-Shathiyat were studied from the perspective of their context and background of application. The main question of this study is in which contexts and backgrounds Ruzbihan has used Qur’anic Ayahs and if he has been loyal to the application of the ayahs in their Qur’anic positions or not. Our analysis showed that Ruzbihan has used Qur’anic ayahs in both his works to cultivate his intended concepts and themes. From a pragmatic point of view, ayahs having a mystical context and background have been used. Another part of the ayahs is accompanied by a context and a background of Shath and Shath-mingled interpretations, and from a pragmatic point of view, Ruzbihan has created valuable literary and mystical themes. We also see ayahs that have an integrative mystical-Qur’anic context and background. Some ayahs have also been adapted to the rhetorical context of the work, especially the description of the Sharh al-Shathiyat, and have produced attractive imagery. Semantically, some ayahs are used in accordance with the Qur’anic context, which is completely in line with the Qur’anic meaning and the position of the ayahs in the Qur’an and in some parts Ruzbihan has expanded the meanings of ayahs according to textual contexts, which has led to fascinating themes and literary creations.
