Abstract

The approaches of the interpreters of the holy Quran varied and their

methodologies diversified in the manner of their dealing with interpreting

the Book of Almighty God. So, they left an important interpretation heritage.

However, not all what is in this heritage can be taken as it is because the words

of the interpreters are not revealed text. We are Allah’s worshippers through

the expressions of his book and we are not worshippers for the expressions of

the interpreters.

This research deals with the mechanism of dealing with this heritage in

the scope of the call for modernity and novelty. For we have to look at the

Holy Quran with the view of the age and the reality in which we live. Each

age has its special circumstances which distinguish it from other age. The

Qurán is Allah’s Book for all people since it had been revealed to Prophet

Mohammad, may Allah’s prayer and peace be upon him, till the Judgment Day.

We emphasize that modernity (novelty) which is sought in the interpretation

is not based on going beyond the Quranic text or rejecting the efforts of the

previous interpretations. Rather, it is commitment to the original text and

reconsideration of the human effort related to interpreting this text in a way

which is appropriate to the circumstances of the age.
