This study explores the concept of intertextuality (al-tanas) in the Qur'anic text and its role in resolving apparent contradictions between verses, adopting a descriptive-analytical methodology grounded in classical exegetical sources and linguistic analysis. Focusing on selected Qur'anic verses commonly perceived as contradictory, the research applies key principles of usul al-fiqh (principles of jurisprudence), particularly al-‘amm al-makhsus (general and specific) and al-mu?laq al-muqayyad (absolute and qualified), to demonstrate how intertextuality bridges interpretive gaps. The study highlights the importance of understanding these textual relationships within the Qur'an, contributing to a deeper comprehension of Shariah texts and their inherent coherence. A central finding reveals how the Qur'an systematically employs intertextual mechanisms, with al-‘amm al-makhsus (general and specific) qualifying general statements through specific contexts and al-mu?laq al-muqayyad (absolute and qualified) restricting absolute expressions, thereby resolving apparent contradictions while maintaining theological and legal consistency. The research addresses significant challenges faced by scholars regarding verses concerning disbelievers, repentance, and legal rulings, offering a structured approach to Qur'anic hermeneutics through intertextual analysis. Future studies could expand this framework to examine intertextual applications in thematic tafs?r and comparative scriptural studies.
