التفسير و العصر الحديث

Abstract EN

This study started from the fact that the modern age is an influent factor on the explanation of Quran “tafsir”, but it is disagreed by a lot of searchers such as Dr.

Aicha Abdurrahman which criticised Dr.

Mustafa Mahmoud.

Although, Quran needs a modern explanation, especially in this new age starting with Imam Mohamed Abdou and his student Mohamed Rachid Redha and Imam Abdulhamid Ben badis.

Than, the study presented the positive and negative effects of the modern age on Tafsir.

The main effects are that tafsir is now going with the modern life, and it played an important role on facing colonialism and calling for political and social reformation.

Tafsir is liberated from the circle of texts and opinions, using a new tool: “science” instead of language, fiqeh and aquida.

Tafsir cannot be limited in one age, even the age of “salaf” (the three first centuries of Islam), because we have to react with Quran every time in all ages, to be up to date with the history of nation and knowledge, thus we can solve our problems every where and when.

To realise that, Tafsir moved in this age from the language of methods to the language of trends.
