Description
How much of what we believe the Quran says comes from the Quran itself, and how much comes from centuries of human interpretation? Muslims have long relied on classical commentaries (tafsir) to understand God's words. But what happens when these respected scholars disagree, rely on unreliable narrations, or interpret verses through the beliefs and assumptions of their own time? Could some of the meanings we've accepted as unquestionable actually be mistaken? Dr. Shabir Ally and Dr. Safiyyah Ally examine how Quranic commentaries developed, why scholars arrived at conflicting interpretations, and whether Muslims today should feel free to challenge even the most celebrated authorities. How do we honour the scholarship of the past without allowing it to limit our understanding of the Quran?
