Abstract: (1619 Views) |
| Mohammad Shahroor is a contemporary modernist who, by presenting special and unconventional theories about the Qur'an and its interpretation, by breaking with traditional terms and with the aim of adapting religion and modernity, he has achieved theorizing and modernist interpretation of the Qur'an. Relying on the rules of non-synonymy of the words of the Qur'an, relative conjunction, `atfi nasaq, and the rule of known and unknown; in this way, he offers new definitions in the interpretation of the terms "the book", "mission" and "prophecy", "mother of the book", "the Qur'an", "the seven repeatedly recited verses" and "detail of the book". In the traditional view, verses are divided into muhkam, and mutashabih, but Shahroor adds a third type, entitled "neither muhkam, nor mutashabih", to this division, which has a direct effect on the interpretation of the Qur'an. In expressing the difference between this modernist view of interpretation and the traditional one, there may be found two fundamental differences: one is that the basis of the former is in the threefold separation of verses; It is based on the subject and content of the verses, while the traditional view is based on "clarity or ambiguity in the meaning of the verses". Second, it divides the similarity of mutashabih verses into two categories, "Al-Sab'a Al-Mathani" and "Al-Quran" with a specific definition, but in the traditional view, it is divided into three categories; Similar in word, similar in meaning, and similar in both. |
