Abstract

This research, titled “Al Sarfah Issue in Mu'tazila School”, examines a particular type of the Qur'an’s miracles. It begins with defining the Qur'an, the general concept of miracles, and the Qur’anic miracle specifically. The paper introduces the Mu'tazila school of Islamic theology, which is notably associated with the concept of Al Sarfah. The study explores the views of five Mu'tazila scholars who supported this idea: An-Nazzam, Al-Jāḥiẓ, AR-Rummani, Abd al-Jabbar Ibn Ahmad, and Al-Zamakhshari. In conclusion, the researcher argues that the Al Sarfah theory is invalid and explains why. He also stresses that attributing this belief to all Mu'tazilites is unjust and fabricated. The paper ends with a list of references.
