<![CDATA[The values of normativity and historicity are essential considerations in understanding the Qur’an. This study presents an analysis of the reconstruction of contemporary interpretive epistemology, which cannot be done by contrasting the values of normativity and historicity. Instead, a dialectical synthesis is needed that combines the two in a balanced manner. Through this approach, the Qur’an can still be understood as a universal guide for life while also responding to humanity’s social and historical dynamics. In practical terms, this study offers guidance for developing a more dynamic, context-sensitive model of interpretation that remains faithful to the Qur’an’s fundamental principles. The research method is a descriptive-analytical approach with a philosophical orientation to unravel the epistemological issues arising in contemporary interpretive practices. This article discusses the epistemology of modern interpretation by highlighting how the relationship between normative values and historical aspects in the understanding of the Qur’an can be reconstructed. The development of contemporary interpretation methodology requires an approach that can overcome the tension between two critical dimensions. First, the universal and normative nature of the Qur’an as divine revelation. Second, the historical and cultural context surrounding the process of revelation and its interpretation]]>
