About Quranic Exegesis:
Objective: To clarify the meanings of the words of the Holy Quran and what can be derived from them, and to explain God Almighty's intent in each verse.
Foundation: Understanding the verses of the Holy Quran depends on a deeper understanding of the Quranic text itself, and interpreting the Quran with the Quran is considered the "most accurate method" of interpretation.
Sources:
Quran with the Quran: Interpreting a verse with other verses in the Quran.
The Prophetic Sunnah: The Prophet Muhammad's (peace and blessings be upon him) interpretation of God's word, which is the primary source of interpretation.
Sayings of the Companions: The sayings of the Companions (may God be pleased with them), who witnessed the revelation and had a good understanding of the language and eloquence.
Value: The science of exegesis is considered one of the best of the Islamic sciences, as it combines the principles of jurisprudence, jurisprudence, etiquette, and ethics. It also helps in seeking refuge in God from misguidance, as it relies on understanding the guidance that God has revealed.
Origins: The science of exegesis began during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he explained the meanings of the verses revealed to his Companions.
Types of Exegesis:
Exegesis based on transmitted reports: This relies on what has been narrated from the Prophet and his Companions.
Exegesis based on personal opinion: This is an interpretation based on independent reasoning and deduction, also known as interpretation.
