520 |a The more emphatic the authority of a sacred Scripture the more crucial the exegesis it receives. Yet no text is able to rise from the page and say: ‘I have been misread'. Hence the basic power of the interpreter. Tafsir or ‘interpretation', has always been a vital task vis-à-vis the Qur'an. Urgent questions attend on it—who is qualified? By what skills? What range of questions will they admit? Are these circumscribed to, for example, grammar? Earlier margins? Are there excluded concerns? How far will contemporary ones be admissible? All these might be said to constitute istifsar or ‘Asking tafsir' to be comprehensively pursued. After examining traditional techniques the article reviews ‘contextuality', ‘abrogation', metaphor, tadabbur (or ‘reflection') and finally, some profound implications of the Qur'an's own self-division into Meccan and Medinan elements and how this might bear on a de-politicization of Islamic religion in response to contemporary necessities, as faced by Islam in minority situations in many countries.
