Abstract

The precision of God’s word, multiplicity of meanings and inclusion of general and specific, the perspicuous and the intricate, and the concise and the clarified, makes it not easily interpreted despite that some verses are quite obvious. The Holy Qur’an contains nuances of verses which seem conflicting to the observer ; so it makes the interpreter set the checks and balances to resolve this conflict by interpreting the literal meaning of some verses.
The interpretation , accordingly, is one of the exegesis of the Qur’anic text. This is the topic what the research is concerned with and is devoted to identify its emergence, reasons, evidence, process, the difference of interpreters therein, and authenticity. This is what we discuss in the Imamate’s interpretations.
Keywords: interpretations, the diverting, Imamate, the explicit meaning.
