The Fact of Disagreement Between the Sayings of the Commentators: An Analytical and Critical Study of the Linguistic Issues through S?rat al-Baqarah

Abstract

Notably, lexicon knowledge is essential for interpreting the holy Qur’?n. Thus, for this purpose, the Qur’?n exegeses are required to have sufficient noesis of lexical cognition; as an imperative tool for understanding the real meaning(s). Otherwise, the matter may confuse the interpreters and disarray the readers. So, it is a prerequisite for the interpreters to cognize every aspect of lexical interpretation while parsing the Qur’?nic verses. Nevertheless, considering the different lexical rules, the commentators have stated diverse connotations of the same verse or the word of the holy Qur’?n. This kind of deliberation indicates a difference of opinion among the commentators in determining the intention and denotation of various words. Therefore, this article presents the nature of these differences and diverse approaches in the light of S?rah al-Baqarah.
