Interpretive Readings of the Qur’anic Text in The Heritage of Islamic Thought

Abstract

Muslims’ concern is related to the understanding of the religious text as an expression of their existential and epistemological status. Therefore, scholars of interpretation, Qur’anic research and its sciences, and the general public of language, origins, speech, wisdom and others have taken the establishment of intellectual references from rules and principles that contribute to the formation of a sound understanding of the religious text away from individual compulsions and moods. Religious thought has exploited all the components of communication to know the intent, taking into account the privacy of the speaker, the appropriateness of composition, the situation of the addressee, and the significance of the context, as a limitation from the deviation of the interpreter’s mind in carrying the word on the mental balances that it tastes. The contexts of the research come to clarify the nature of reading and the specialized understanding of interpretation of the most prominent sciences of Islamic thought, which has contact with interpretation, such as language with its grammatical and rhetorical parts, and such as origins and philosophy, in addition to the views of Sufism.
