Abstract
Our dissertation bears the title (Interpretative narrations that agree and disagree with the phenomena of the Holy Qur’an) and it is a comparative study between the interpretive opinions of Islamic interpretation scholars. There is no doubt that the explanatory narrations have great importance and a prominent impact in clarifying the purposes of the Noble Verses, understanding them, and clarifying their meanings, which requires the researcher. To clarify its concepts, then explain them, and how to infer them, whether they agree with the appearance of the Holy Qur’an, or contradict it, and then discuss what can be discussed from the evidence that was inferred by presenting the interpretive narratives examining the Qur’anic text.
It has become clear that there are those who have cited some narrations as evidence for the prohibition of interpreting the Holy Qur’an, because it leads to the statement that interpretation is permissible by opinion, which is forbidden and declared invalid. Then it is not possible to rely on such explanatory narrations. He also mentioned among the narrative evidence that prohibits interpreting the Qur’an in a way that contradicts its apparent meaning: Because its apparent meaning is an argument, and an argument cannot be refuted except by an argument, and such narrations are not authoritative when they contradict the apparent authority of the Qur’an, and then the matter requires redoubled efforts in explaining these interpretive narrations.
Then, we explain the interpretive opinions in it to show what can be used as evidence and what cannot be used as evidence in interpreting the Holy Qur’an, and to explain its noble purposes and connotations. This is what was presented and explained in our message through its four chapters, then concluding with the final results, in the light of which the correct path can be determined. In dealing with these narratives looking at the interpretation of the Qur’anic text and explaining its purposes and divine significance.
