"10 The word tafsir, Husain Dhahabi says,11 in relation to the Qur'an, is understood in the sense of "unveiling" the will of God hidden in His speech as far as it is possible for human beings.
18 The Background of Qur'an Exegesis among Muslim Scholars As was stated before, Tafsir, that is, explaining the meaning of the Qur'anic verse, clarifying its import and finding out its significance, is one of the earliest academic activities in Islam.
The second demerit of this method is that, because the exegete is by nature commenting on the meaning of isolated words by giving a synonym, clarifying unfamiliar terms, or applying new interpretations to the circumstances of the revelation (asbāb al-nuzûl), such activities have the potential of compelling the exegete to go beyond lexical meaning and to introduce innovations into the text of the Qur'an.
B. Sadr,26 while the prevalence of the thematic study approaches in fiqh has greatly developed Islamic legal thought, the prevalence of the analytic method in Qur'anic studies, which has dominated tafsir literature for several centuries, has impeded the development of Qur'anic thought and resulted in its acquiring a quality of repetitiousness, so much so that we may say that centuries passed after the exegetic works of al-Tabari, al-Razi and al-Shaykh al-Tûsi without Islamic thought being able to create anything really new despite the extensive changes brought about over time in the various spheres of human life.
