The Implications of the Political Interpretation of the Holy Qur’an: A Critical Study in Light of the Principles of Understanding the Qur’anic Text

Abstract

This study addresses the political interpretation of the Holy Quran and its importance in contemporary Islamic reality, demonstrating that each era has its own issues and methods that require interpreters to connect the Quran to people's realities. It argues that politics is one of the most prominent issues facing Muslims today, given the corruption and deprivation of rights that societies are witnessing, necessitating the presentation of a clear Quranic vision to address these disturbances. The study also emphasizes the need to avoid the traditional approach to controversial issues that are far removed from societal concerns, and calls for modern interpretive approaches that take into account the political and social dimensions in light of the Quran. The study concludes that political interpretation contributes to highlighting the universality of the Quranic message. It also contributes to activating the role of interpretation in addressing the intellectual and practical issues facing Muslims today.
