Analysis of Ma‘na-cum-Maghza on Qur’an in relation to disability empowerment in professional careers
Main Article Content
Abstract
People with disabilities are often denied equal rights and opportunities, particularly in professional settings. Yet the Qur’an explicitly recognizes their existence and instructs humanity to uphold their dignity and equality. Despite this divine guidance, social stigma, discriminatory hiring practices, and inadequate inclusive accommodations continue to limit their career prospects and mobility. In light of these conditions, this study explores three key dimensions: (1) the interpretive dynamics of Qur’an 24:61 and Qur’an 80:1–4; (2) the application of the Ma‘na-cum-Maghza method to these verses; and (3) its relevance to the participation of persons with disabilities in professional careers. The research employs a library-based approach, analyzing the Qur’anic text supported by secondary sources, including classical, medieval, and contemporary tafsīr, scholarly books, journal articles, and academic studies. The Ma‘na-cum-Maghza framework proceeds in three stages: identifying the historical meaning (maʿnā al-tārīkhī), determining its historical significance (maghzā al-tārīkhī), and extracting its dynamic, contemporary relevance (maghzā al-mutaḥarrik al-muʿāṣirah). Findings show that the Qur’an affirms the equal involvement of persons with disabilities across all aspects of life, emphasizing their empowerment in professional domains. This study challenges conventional views on disability and offers theological justification for inclusive policies in recruitment and career advancement.
