There is a basic need to discover a new method to interpret the Quran which is suitable to the contemporary demand. Thus, the Quran must be studied through the method of double movement. A method which offers an impartial treatment to the message of the Quran and welfare of human life This study is approached by using historical, comparative, and content analysis.
