Queries based Method of Exegesis and its applied styles in understanding Qur’ān: Limitations and possibilities

Abstract

The Qur’ānic commentators have employed various styles and methods to interpret Qur’ān. One of these styles and methods is query-based method of exegesis which can be considered an important and effective style of Qur’ānic interpretation. Such type of exegesis comes forth when interpretation is offered in reply to a question asked about a Qur’ānic verse.

For the justification and proof of this inquiring interpretation, there are a lot of evidences and examples from the Qur’ān, Hadith, and the sayings of the Prophet’s Companions and Tābei’n.

These queries and their replies played an important role in understanding the Qur’ānic text. Various interpretations have been written fully or partially on this style which are compiled and some among them are published and some are still unpublished. This approach of exegeses can be very useful for understanding Qur’ān in this age and in future.

 This article attempts to explain the query-based method of exegesis and its applied styles in understanding Qur’ān with its limitations and possibilities.
