The Political Interpretation of the Holy Qur’an: Methodological Considerations
Abstract
The present article deals with a number of the methodological issues in the political interpretation of the Holy Qur’an. It seeks to clarify the most prevalent methodological assumptions which are necessary for the political interpretation of the Qur’an. To this end, the article appeals to the means of the “interpretational” methodology and the documentary research method. The article claims that the explanations of the interpreters of the Qur’an about the political subjects follow a number of meta‐commentary assumptions, which have been clarified through the article. The results of this article can facilitate the studies concerning the political interpretation of the Qur’an, methodologies of the sacred texts and the Qur’anic sciences.
