Conflict of the Rules of Preference among Interpreters, its Concept and Reasons

Abstract

This study explores the concept of conflict between rules of preference and the reasons behind it in understanding verse meaning when interpreters' opinions contradict each other. The interpreters' rules giving preferences are analyzed, revealing individual rules and reasons for conflict. This helps in prioritizing interpretations, allowing interpreters to understand the motives behind their choices and ensure accurate interpretations. The study followed the following scientific approaches: historical inductive and comparative analytical methods. In the end of this study. The reasons for conflict between interpreters can be attributed to two main factors: the nature of the Quranic text considering the language in which it was firstly revealed in, and the methodology used in interpreting the Holy Quran that involves ensuring accurate interpretation of the Quran's verses.
