| One of the arguable issues in the religion is the attribution of disbelief and polytheism to the prophets before their prophetic mission. The word "revert" in verses 88 and 89 of A'raf and 13 of Ibrahim is one of the pretexts for people such as Ibn Taymiyyah to ascribe disbelief to the prophets. The research question is that based on the semantic explanation of the word "revert" and its application in the verses of the Holy Quran, how can the claim of attributing disbelief and polytheism to the prophets be analyzed? Sunnite commentators have counted seven applications for the word "revert": revert in the sense of becoming, metaphorical use, false use, cognitive error, requesting a return to the former divine laws, and requesting a return to the homeland. According to the research findings, the attribution of infidelity [to the prophets] is contrary to the consensus [of Muslim scholars], and on the other hand, based on the use of this word, it cannot be the basis for attributing infidelity and polytheism to the prophets. |
