| Summary: | Currently, distortion in the interpretation of the Glorious Qurʾan is one of the biggest issues that is alarming in the Muslim World and Malaysia is no exception, where Kasim Ahmad is known for the anti-Hadith of the Prophet, and Political activist Leen who was actively involved in such practices. This issue has triggered enthusiasm among Muslim scholars, particularly the Muslim Exegetes who heavily debated it. To address this issue, this article examines the views of Muslim Exegetes. Data in this study were collected from the critical evaluation of some identified interpreted verses of the Glorious Qurʾan by those figures in Malaysia and others in the world, including the most powerful organizations such as Sister in Islam (SIS), Millah Ibrahim, and LGBT Groups and their proponents like Amreen Jamal, Hassan El-Menyawi, and prolific writer Dervla Shannahan. Through in-depth analysis to provide a lasting solution to ensure the accuracy of the interpretation of the Glorious Qurʾan, this study solely relied on the explanation and comments from the books of the most renowned Qurʾan commentators (Mufassirun) such as Ibn Kathir, Imam ʿAbd al-Rahman as-Saʾdi, Imam Al-Shawkani, Al-Maraghi, and Ibn Atiyyah. This study finally argues that the lack of using multiple Qurʾan exegesis and consulting experts in the field, as well as the knowledge of the Arabic language, were the main reasons for distortion in the interpretation of the verses of the Qurʾan. By addressing these issues, distortions, and deviations in the interpretations of the Glorious Qurʾan can be solved, and its accurate teachings can be preserved for generations to come. |
