Abstract:
The word 'Ta'ammuq' (deep contemplation/delving) in ancient lexical and narrative sources, contrary to common belief, carries a pejorative semantic load, and lexicographers have considered it to include the concept of excess and exaggeration. For this reason, in the narrations of the Imams of Ahl al-Bayt (AS), it has been mentioned with blame and counted among the pillars of disbelief. Even a group of great Hadith scholars have interpreted it as meaning extremism, ghuluw (exaggeration), and excess; however, a group of scholars, due to negligence regarding the true meaning of Ta'ammuq and its blameworthiness, have reached incorrect understandings in interpreting the relevant narrations.
Machine summary:
Two Turning Points in the Evolution of Exegetical Methods Dr. Mohammad Reza Sotoudeh-Nia1 Zahra Faqihi2 Abstract {IBThe exegesis of the Holy Quran gained special prominence in two periods due to the entry of human sciences into the Islamic world, which this article examines by investigating their exegetical characteristics and comparing them: one being the fourth and fifth centuries with the translation of Greek and Iranian books into Arabic during the Abbasid Caliphate era, and the other being the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries due to the Renaissance, scientific rebirth, and the entry of Western sciences into the Islamic world.
G. Encyclopedic tendency: Comprehensive exegeses were also written in these two centuries which, alongside the transmission of traditional narrations, relied on reason and paid attention to various sciences to evaluate the interpretive views of their predecessors and contemporaries, and combined various sciences and arts related to Quranic interpretation, such as morphology, syntax, derivation, semantics, rhetoric, hadith, jurisprudence, theology, and history.
In the past, interpreters showed a great tendency to use terminology from sciences and arts; for this reason, non-traditional (ghayr-ma'thur) interpretations were more similar to philosophical and mystical books; however, in the fourteenth century, the style of complex speech declined and shifted toward simplification; because in the interpretations of this century, the goal is not only understanding the verses, but also making them understood and satisfying the audience has also been taken into account.
