Ma`rifat Kalami

The Quran interpreters have a variety of specialized, religious and other interests. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of these interests on the interpretation of the Quran using a descriptive-analytical method, and to show the narrative aspects of their effects. The criteria for evaluating these aspects are the common method of interpretation among Muslim commentators, the intention of the interpreter—which is the attainment of God's purposes—and prohibition of any imposition on the Quran. The interpreters’ interests are influential on the principle of choosing ijtihadic or non-ijtihadic method (pure narrative), as well as various interpretative tendencies, such as jurisprudential, literary, social, and theological. The punctuality of the interpreters' use of content that is consistent with their own interests is also one of the aspects of the influence of the interpreters' interests on interpretation. Also, the interpreter's interest is one of the factors involved in the selection of subjects under study in the Quran. The interpreter may, in accordance with his or her interests, present probabilities in the interpretation of the verses that do not conform to the appearance of the verses and there is no evidence to support them
