| description |
Hundreds of tafsÊr works have been produced by Muslim scholars with a view to making the message
of the Qur’Én accessible to the mankind. These works represent various trends, different approaches,
diverse methodologies, multifarious objectives, and numerous schools of thought. Consequently, different
and, at times, mutually conflicting interpretations of the words of Allah has caused Muslims to feel
confused and dejected. Interestingly, scholars who have applied one and the same methodology to unfold
the truth of the divine speech have also miserably failed to maintain the unity of the message of the
Qur’Én, and come up with uncompromisingly contradictory interpretations. This situation serves as an
obvious indicator that there is something wrong in the methodology of interpretation of the Qur’an. In the
twentieth century some Muslim scholars such as al-FarÉhÊ and IÎlÉÍÊ proposed and also practically
demonstrated a new methodology of tafsÊr known as Nazm al-Qur’Én. To them, it is not merely an
excellent miraculous feature of the Qur’an but also a methodology. Application of this methodology in
the Qur’Énic tafsÊr leads to the unity of message in the Qur’an. This methodology may enable the
commentators of the Qur’Én to develop various meanings of verses but there is no possibility of conflict
among scholars while interpreting the Qur’Én in terms of ideas. This paper introduces NaÐm al-Qur’Én
as a methodology of tafsÊr and apply it to sËrah al-Jumu‘ah for practical purpose. |
