article published yes Zishan Ghaffar author 83446 469 department This article examines the most frequently attributed statement of Jesus in the Qur’an, namely, ‘God is my Lord and your Lord’ (Q 19:36; Q 43:64; Q 3:51; Q 5:72; Q 5:117). It investigates the extent to which this formula is connected to Jesus’s words to Mary Magdalene on Easter morning in John 20:17. The analysis aims to show that the Qur’an critically engages with the Christian interpretive tradition surrounding this statement as recorded in John’s Gospel and adapts it – both contextually and verbally – within its own theological framework. As in the Christian tradition, this Qur’anic engagement also generates a broader discourse on the hermeneutics of scriptural interpretation. https://ris.uni-paderborn.de/download/66707/66708/The Words of Jesus and Scriptural Hermeneutics in the Quran_Ghaffar.pdf application/pdf Routledge2026 eng Qur’anJohn 20:17Scriptural hermeneuticsWords of JesusIntertextuality 0959-6410 1469-9311 1-17 Ghaffar, Zishan. “The Words of Jesus and Scriptural Hermeneutics in the Qur’an.” <i>Islam and Christian–Muslim Relations</i>, Routledge, 2026, pp. 1–17.
