Colonialism, as a historical and social phenomenon, has left extensive effects on various societies. Analyzing this phenomenon from the perspective of the Qurʾān can illuminate the cultural and economic dimensions of domination. Verse 54 of Sūrat al-Zukhruf symbolically and objectively refers to the behavior of Pharaoh and his people, revealing the mechanisms of exercising power and domination in ancient Egypt. The principal aim of this research is to identify the typology of colonialism and analyze its cultural and economic consequences for society. Employing a descriptive-analytical and comparative method, and focusing on the key terms of this verse, the study analyzes the cultural and economic contexts of colonialism within the verse itself and in historical texts related to ancient Egypt. The central research question asks: How does verse 54 of Sūrat al-Zukhruf, through its specific language and vocabulary, reflect the various dimensions of cultural and economic colonialism, and what were its consequences for society? The findings demonstrate that cultural colonialism was implemented through the weakening of intellectual independence, values, and communal identity, while economic colonialism was characterized by the concentration of wealth, the reduction of economic decision-making agency, and the exploitation of resources. The simultaneous analysis of both cultural and economic dimensions reveals that these two factors mutually reinforced one another, creating a long-term cycle of domination. The results emphasize that Qurʾānic vocabulary not only reflects historical reality but also serves as a tool for understanding the mechanisms of colonialism and their long-term consequences for society.
