Fadha'il al-Qur'an, Jalaluddin Al-Suyuti, Kitab Al-Iqan fi Ulum al-Qur'anAbstract
This study examines the concept of Fadha’il al-Qur’an in Al-Itqan fi Ulum al-Qur’an written by Jalaluddin Al-Suyuti. Discussions of Qur’anic virtues in Islamic literature are often presented in normative and popular forms, while systematic scholarly analyses based on the structural framework of classical works of Ulum al-Qur'an remain relatively limited. Although Al-Itqan fi Ulum al-Qur'an is widely recognized as one of the most comprehensive encyclopedic works in Qur’anic sciences, studies that specifically map the concept of Fadha’il al-Qur’an within this work are still scarce. This research aims to identify the concept of Qur’anic virtues described in Al-Itqan, analyze the forms and classifications of Qur’anic virtues proposed by Al-Suyuti, explain the sources of textual evidence and argumentative methods employed in presenting these virtues, and synthesize previous studies related to the topic. The research applies a library-based methodology using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, which includes stages of literature identification, screening based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, quality evaluation of sources, and systematic content analysis of relevant studies. The primary data consist of the text of Al-Itqan fi Ulum al-Qur’an, while secondary data include books, journal articles, and other scholarly publications related to Qur’anic virtues and Qur’anic sciences. The findings reveal that the discussion of Fadha’il al-Qur’an in Al-Itqan functions not merely as spiritual encouragement but also as a systematic scholarly construction within the intellectual tradition of Qur’anic sciences that situates the virtues of the Qur’an within a structured epistemological framework
