Scholars (ulama) of Jewish People (‘ulamā’u banī isrā’īl – عُلَمَاءُ بَنيِ إِسَْايِلَ)

Summary/Abstract: The Qur’an uses the term ‘ulamā’ ( عُلَمَاءُ ) only in two places, once in the surah the Poets/Ash-Shu‘arā (26:197), where it is used as ‘ulama’ banī Isrā’īl meaning “the learned/‘ulama’ of the Jewish people”, and the second time in surah the Creator/Fāṭir (35:28), where the word ‘ulamā’ ( عُلَمَاءُ ) is used in a more general sense to mean as “the learned (among the mankind) who truly fear God”. This article deals with the syntagm ‘ulama’ banī isrā’īl (“the learned/ulama of the Jewish people“) reflecting some commentaries and translations of the Qur’an.
