Abstract

This study examines the rationalist framework and Mu'tazilah theological nuances embedded in Qāḍī ʿAbd al-Jabbār's exegetical masterwork, Tanzīh al-Qurʾān ʿan al-Maāʿin. Through systematic analysis of contemporary scholarship and primary sources, we investigate how ʿAbd al-Jabbār employs a tripartite proof system rational (ʿaqlī), revelational (samʿī), and linguistic (lughawī) to construct a coherent interpretive methodology that privileges reason while maintaining fidelity to Qurʾānic text. The study traces the manifestation of the five foundational principles (al-Uūl al-Khamsah) of Mu'tazilah theology within his tafsir, particularly emphasizing divine unity (tawīd), divine justice (ʿadl), and the rational basis of moral responsibility. Our analysis reveals that ʿAbd al-Jabbār's hermeneutical approach, especially his systematic application of figurative interpretation (taʾwīl) to anthropomorphic verses, represents a sophisticated attempt to reconcile rational theology with scriptural authority. Contemporary scholarly debates surrounding his methodology including critiques of excessive rationalism, accusations of divine negation (taʿṭīl), and questions about the epistemic primacy of reason are examined through comparative, linguistic, and hermeneutical lenses. This research contributes to understanding medieval Islamic rationalist exegesis and its continuing relevance for contemporary Islamic thought, demonstrating how ʿAbd al-Jabbār's work navigates the complex relationship between reason, language, and revelation in Qurʾānic interpretation.

Abstract

Atherosclerotic disease significantly impacts patients with type 2 diabetes, who often present with recalcitrant peripheral ulcers. The angiosome model of the foot presents an opportunity to perform direct angiosome-targeted endovascular interventions to maximise both wound healing and limb salvage. A systematic review was performed, with 17 studies included in the final review. Below-the-knee endovascular interventions present significant technical challenges, with technical success depending on the length of lesion being treated and the number of angiosomes that require treatment. Wound healing was significantly improved with direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty, as was limb salvage, with a significant increase in survival without major amputation. Indirect angioplasty, where the intervention is applied to collateral vessels to the angiosomes, yielded similar results to direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty. Applying the angiosome model of the foot in direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty improves outcomes for patients with recalcitrant diabetic foot ulcers in terms of primary wound healing, mean time for complete wound healing and major amputation-free survival.
