Abandoning the Obvious in Interpretation and its Implications for Enriching Meaning

Abstract

     The aim of this study is to reveal the hidden ways of explaining the meanings of the Holy Qur'an by using a number of established theories related to deviation from the apparent meanings. The justification lies in uncovering the nuances and meanings that can be extracted from beyond the words, whether within the scope of the linguistic context and consensus, which is known as indicative interpretation, or outside the linguistic context, considering aspects that are supported by generally accepted principles and reinforcements. Anything that the texts do not testify to requires further examination, either by refutation, which requires the presentation of refuting evidence, or by pausing and recognising that the interpreter has reached levels of perfection that are beyond the reach of most observers. It is important to note that in the system of deviating from the obvious, these speculations do not rise to the level intended by the wise legislator.
