سؤال التأويل في الفكر العربي الإسلامي خلال العصر الوسيط

Abstract EN

Interpretation in the Arab-Islamic thought in the Middle Ages enjoyed a wide deliberative field.

The most important of these fields are: jurisprudential interpretation, grammatical interpretation, interpretation of theological scholars, interpretation of the Sufis, and interpretation of philosophers.

This is because it is linked to the miraculous Qur'anic discourse, and because interpretation was and still is the ideological tool to justify a certain political situation at the expense of another to gain legitimacy in the Islamic community on the other hand.

According to this perspective, the interpretation of the Arab-Islamic thought has two dimensions, one of which is epistemological related to the religious text and the other is ideological that works to employ the text as the case may be.

If the two dimensions are intertwined in the structure of Arab-Islamic thought, what concerns us in the first place is the epistemological dimension.

The article aims to present a simple idea of the nature of interpretation in Arab-Islamic thought during the Middle Ages, through selected examples, Its diversity reflects the richness of knowledge and the historical depth related to interpretation, and emphasizes the right to interpretation.
