Abstract
This article echoes the calls for systemically revisiting the theo-ontology and epistemology
from which discourses on ʾIslām and Islamic living are construed. It highlights some Qurʾānic
ideas that could contribute to founding this endeavour and approaches revelation from the
Qurʾānic semiotics of divine revelation. Despite referring to the Qurʾānic Text, this contribution
is not exegetical.
CONTRIBUTION : This article represents a reflection on Islamic fundamental theology. Although
the revelation of the Qurʾān has ended, the process of reading, interpreting, and living continues.
