Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd advocates for the historicity of textual interpretation, dividing this concept into two dimensions: the historicity of the text and the historicity of understanding. The historicity of the text refers to the Qur’ān's formation within the socio-historical context of the Jahiliyyah period over 23 years, while the historicity of understanding relates to the recipient's semantic horizon, considering meaning as a product of that horizon. A significant consequence of this historicity is reader-centric interpretation and the negation of authorial intent. Contrasting this view, the grammatical concept of "mood" - a crucial element in Halliday's systemic-functional grammar - serves an important discursive function in expressing authorial intention and certainty. To analyze speaker attitude, one must examine mood elements, particularly the subject and finite elements. Surah Al-Anfal, which recounts the historic first battle of Islam (the Battle of Badr), serves as the focus of this study. The research addresses this central question: How can we discern authorial intent in Surah Al-Anfal through mood construction within Halliday's interpersonal metafunction? Employing a descriptive-analytical methodology, this study applies Halliday's mood system to examine grammatical elements. Key findings demonstrate that mood sub-elements (i.e., subject and finite elements, including temporality and mood type) reveal the author's certainty in narrating the battle's events. The high frequency of past tense and indicative mood in Al-Anfal indicates the text's assertive and confident tone regarding these historical events. Thus, while Abu Zayd's historical approach subordinates textual meaning to the reader's interpretive framework, this study shows that authorial intent is clearly manifested through mood elements in the Qur’anic text.
