CRITICISM OF THE BODY OF THE INTERPRETIVE NARRATIONS IN LIGHT OF THE CRITICAL CRITERIA OF ALLAMA TABATABAI: APPLIED MODELS OF INTERPRETATION OF AL-MIZAN

Abstract

This research aims to expose the critical approach that Al- Tabatabai adopts for the interpretive narratives that he included in his interpretation. In the course of the stages of interpretation, many interpretive narratives must be looked at with scrutiny for many reasons such as its contradiction with Qur’an and Sunnah, some of which do not authorize reason, and others are refuted by science. Perhaps the interpretation of the Qur’an is the most common field in which these narrations have occurred and punctuated, by the entry of some Israeli narratives, especially in the stories of the prophets and bygone nations that the Noble Qur’an mentioned in a little summary. As the existence of the Israeli narrations is something that no Muslim scholars deny, but rather they mentioned that they represent the fourth source of interpretation. Since the Qur’an text is a text on which the process of issuing legal rulings depends as well as being the ideal social approach, it became necessary for the objector to interpret some texts to be familiar with the critical procedure and methods of investigating what is proven from the interpretation narrations, in order to present what contradicts these interpretations. Although al-Tabataba'i's interpretation (al-Mizan) is not a fictional interpretation, his interest in the inclusion of exegetical narratives in his research made his interpretation a suitable application environment for this study.
