Reading strategy and interpretation mechanisms in Muhammad Shahrour’s Qur’anic reading through his book: “The Book and the Qur’an” - a critical analytical study-

Abstract

Interpretation in Islamic history occupied an important epistemological position, and was studied by scholars of interpretation, the Qur’an, principles, and language, until it became one of the important Islamic sciences, and to it are due many interpretive, doctrinal, and intellectual differences in Islamic thought.

  However, interpretation has acquired a new meaning other than that of the ancients in the contemporary era, and its most prominent features are the openness and breadth of connotations, the presence of reason, and freedom of interpretation. This is what we find in the arena of contemporary studies today, which has applied new research methods in order to edit the Qur’anic text and renew its contributions. It was a bold step in the contemporary Qur’anic reading of the thinker Muhammad Shahrour, and it does not rise to be an integrated ijtihadi vision, because he adopted interpretive dumps and incubators for Western ideas that have become obsolete and lack evidence and proof. He entered the Qur’anic text as an interpreter and interpreter of the Qur’anic text, detaching himself from all reason in doing so. Elongated for religious heritage. The true modernity of the Qur’an is the combination of the ancient legacy and imitation of contemporary civilization in a way that takes into account reality and the basis of ijtihad.
