A systematic study of the origins of interpretation according to Abu Hayyan al-Andalusi through interpretation of al-Bahr al-Muhit

Abstract

The study aimed to demonstrate the Muslims' interest in interpreting the Holy Qur'an, understanding its meanings, and devising its rulings. To achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher used the inductive method, and the study reached a set of results, among which is that the contemplator on the interpretations transmitted from the followers stands on multiple sources for their interpretations, in addition to what they took from the People of the Book, which led to interpretation by opinion, knowing that the narrations transmitted from them are subject to criteria acceptance and response. The study recommended a set of recommendations, the most important of which are: Emphasizing the importance of understanding the Noble Qur’an and dealing with it through sound interpretative principles, and the equitable scientific methodology that respects the correct evidence, while highlighting the error of those trying to understand the Noble Qur’an in the light of different religions, beliefs and philosophies, without neglecting the importance of encouraging authentic studies. Documented, related to the history, sciences and knowledge of the Noble Qur’an.
