Abstract: (4678 Views) |
| An investigation into the interpretations of the Quran reveals that the understanding and interpretation of some former interpreters on some Quranic verses are somewhat different from those of contemporary interpreters. This issue leads to these questions: Why do basically such controversies and view changes occur about understanding and interpreting some Quranic verses? And how can such occurrences be scientifically explained and explicated? In response to these questions, Quranic scholars have often spoken of epistemological factors and have less been concerned with non-epistemological factors. One of the most influential non-epistemological factors in the transformation of the opinions of the interpreters is the concept of discourse in linguistics. In this study, the transformation taken place in the interpretation of some Quranic verses in the contemporary period in comparison with that of former periods has been investigated using the concept of discourse. The obtained results reveal that formation of new discourses in the contemporary period has transformed the understanding and interpretation of contemporary interpreters. |
