Incorrect interpretation in the application of Islam (First part)
Abstract
The insidious enemy is always trying to find out how to turn Muslims away from Islam so that the center of their lives is their desires and not the revelation of God Almighty. One of the channels they enter into, which is almost the most effective way for them, is incorrect and false interpretation in the application of Islam, which is this interpretation. False, in fact, it is a clear error that has confused the minds of the youth of the Ummah and irresponsible scholars, even that they do not speak a word about the application of Islam, while one of the most important duties of Islam is this application of Islam.
In the first century of Hijri, Islamic thoughts, as the Companions and other Muslims had learned it from the Prophet (peace and blessings of God be upon him), applied it to the people with accurate, clear understanding, definite faith, and complete knowledge, and at the same time, the interpretation and interpretation of the Holy Qur’an came from the same.
The beginning of the revelation is the attention of Muslims and everyone, according to their understanding and talent, pays attention to the interpretation and explanation of the noble verses in order to acquire and practice all the concepts and rules of Islam in the best way.
Comprehensive implementation of Islam requires a detailed understanding of Islamic rulings, thoughts and concepts; But in the Qur’an, all the verses are not so clear that all the audience can understand them. As God Almighty says: «هُوَ الَّذِی أَنْزَلَ عَلَیكَ الْكِتَابَ مِنْهُ آیاتٌ مُحْكَمَاتٌ هُنَّ أُمُّ الْكِتَابِ وَأُخَرُ مُتَشَابِهَاتٌ فَأَمَّا الَّذِینَ فِی قُلُوبِهِمْ زَیغٌ فَیتَّبِعُونَ مَا تَشَابَهَ مِنْهُ ابْتِغَاءَ الْفِتْنَةِ وَابْتِغَاءَ تَأْوِیلِهِ وَمَا یعْلَمُ تَأْوِیلَهُ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَالرَّاسِخُونَ فِی الْعِلْمِ یقُولُونَ آمَنَّا بِهِ كُلٌّ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَبِّنَا وَمَا یذَّكَّرُ إِلَّا أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ» Translation: “He is the one who revealed the book [Qur’an] to you, a part of it is the verses of “Muhkamat”, they are the essence of this book, and a part of it is the verses of “Mutashabahat”; But those who have crookedness in their hearts look for similes for sedition and [wrong] interpretation, while no one knows their [correct] interpretation except God, and those who are firm in knowledge say: We believe in all of them, they are all from our Lord and They are not remembered except by those who have wisdom.”
It is understood from the above-mentioned honorable verse that the verses of the Holy Quran are of “two” types: strong and similar.
It is firm that its meaning has appeared, it is so clear that there is no possibility left in it, like this saying of the Highest: «واحلّ الله البیع وحرّم الربا» “And God has made selling halal and taking usury haram.”
«والسارق والسارقة فاقطعوا أیدیهما»
“Cut the thief’s hand (man and women)”.
«ولكم فی القصاص حیاة یاأولی الألباب»
“There is life in retribution for you, O wise men.”
But similarities are verses that have more than one meaning in the direction of equality or otherwise, and an example of what is intended to be equal is the saying of His Highness:
«او یعفو الذی بیده عقدة النكاح»
“Or let someone pass away whose marriage knot is in his hand”; Because the person who has the marriage knot in his hand is likely to be a couple and is likely to be a guardian, and also this saying of the Almighty:
«اولامستم النساء»
“Or touch women”; Because the meaning of “Masas” is between touching with the hand and “Ta’e”.
And an example of what is determined more than one meaning and not equally is this saying of His Highness:
«ویبقى وجه ربك»
“And the face of your Lord will remain.”
«ونفخت فیه من روحی»
“And I breathed into it of my spirit,”
«مماعملت أیدینا»
“And of what our hands have done”
«الله یستهزئ بهم»
” Almighty God will give them [the punishment for their cunning]”
«ومكروا ومكرالله»
“And they conspired, and God also conspired.”
«والسماوات مطویات بیمینه»
“And the heavens will be folded by his right hand” and the like; Because according to the understanding of the Arabic word in terms of Arab styles and according to the Shari’i meanings, it has the possibility of several meanings, these are all similar, and because of a mistake, its meaning was called “similar” by the listener, and it is not similar that its meaning is not understood; Because there is nothing in the Qur’an whose meaning cannot be understood; Because the inclusion of the Qur’an in something incomprehensible removes it from being expressed for people, and that is contrary to this saying of His Highness:
«هذا بیان للناس»
“This Qur’an is a statement for the people”; For this reason, God Subhana wa Ta’ala created a place for interpretation in the Holy Qur’an in order to understand these verses, so that those who are firmly rooted in knowledge do not talk about the interpretation of the verses out of greed and evil intentions, and their intention is always to seek the truth and tell the truth, and some others who There is a crookedness in their hearts, they turn to the wrong interpretation of analogies with the intention of sedition and misleading Muslims. Therefore, for this it is necessary to know the “interpretation”.
