Abstract

The present research is aimed at considering the approach to the methodology of maqasid-based interpretation in modern exegesis based on models that use the objectives of Islamic law as a tool for the interpretation of the Qur'anic text. The research reveals the theoretical grounds of this approach, the motives for its development in modernity, and the calculation of its practical usage, paying primary attention to the works of Shi'a Imami exegetes while using certain works from other interpretive schools as support. The research uses descriptive, analytical, and critical means to appraise the interpretative texts and the degree of adherence to principles and guidelines of exegesis. The study concludes that the maqasid approach has contributed remarkably to the contemporary Qur'anic interpretation, but only insofar as it is used strictly within the boundaries of scholarly and legal criteria. The research suggests the further refinement of this methodology in order to reconcile Islamic law goals with textual limitations of the Qur'an. Highlights: Purpose-Driven Interpretation: Maqasid methodology emphasizes understanding Qur'anic texts by linking them to the higher objectives of Shari'ah—justice, mercy, and public interest Imami Contribution: Imami scholars apply this method uniquely by integrating authoritative narrations from Ahl al-Bayt with Qur'anic analysis, ensuring a balance between text and contextual realities Scholarly Models: Ibn Ashour and Farid al-Ansari exemplify modern applications—Ashour through legal objectives and text integration; Ansari through educational and spiritual reforms via Qur'anic councils Keywords: Maqasid, Interpretation, Imami, Objectives, Methodology

Abstract

General Background: Contemporary Qur'anic interpretation often finds itself at the crossroads of tradition and modernity. Specific Background: One such tension is observable in the contrast between Mohamed Arkoun’s modernist hermeneutics and the traditional Shi‘i Imami exegetical framework. Knowledge Gap: While Arkoun's secular methodologies challenge established religious paradigms, limited research has critically examined their compatibility with metaphysically grounded Imami thought. Aims: This study critically analyzes Arkoun’s interpretive discourse through the lens of Imami hermeneutics, aiming to assess epistemological and methodological intersections. Results: It reveals fundamental divergences regarding the nature of the Qur’an—Arkoun treating it as a cultural construct subject to historical critique, while Imami thought preserves its divine, miraculous essence through a sacred interpretive tradition. Novelty: The paper juxtaposes Arkoun’s use of linguistics, anthropology, and sociology of knowledge with the theological underpinnings of Imami exegesis, offering an original comparative framework. Implications: The study concludes by evaluating the potential and limits of integrating modernist insights into traditional Islamic interpretation, thereby contributing to the broader discourse on reconciling critical methodologies with religious orthodoxy. Highlight: Contrasts Arkoun’s modernist lens with Imami theological principles. Highlights Qur'an’s dual role as sacred and cultural text. Assesses integration potential of critical secular tools in traditional hermeneutics. Keywords: Mohamed Arkoun, Modernist Discourse, Qur'anic Interpretation, Imami Exegesis, Islamic Thought
