Abstract :
The present study examines the role and importance of the "context of verses" in understanding and interpreting the Holy Quran and attempts to show how the context of verses, as one of the fundamental principles of interpretation, is effective in understanding the precise meanings of verses, identifying the referent of pronouns, determining the addressee of verses, and preferring between different readings and statements of commentators. By analyzing numerous examples from the interpretation of Allamah Tabataba'i (Al-Mizan) and other prominent commentators, this study examines the practical application of the context of verses in solving interpretive problems, identifying the degree of revelation, and distinguishing between Meccan and Medinan verses. The results of the study show that using the context of verses, in addition to removing conceptual ambiguities, helps to criticize and correct some incorrect interpretations and provides a deeper and more accurate understanding of the text of the Quran. This study emphasizes the importance of the position of context as a key tool in interpreting the Quran and notes the need for greater attention to this principle in Quranic studies.
