Qoran Shenakht

Among the capacities of the Holy Qur’an is its eternity, allowing for the possibility of benefiting from this divine book in times following its revelation. This possibility sometimes arises from its conformity to new examples. Among the Qur’anic verses that have brought numerous discussions and opinions in both initial and later examples are verses 4-8 of Sura Al-Isra. Using the descriptive-analytical method, this paper seeks to elucidate the reasons behind disagreement between interpreters concerning the examples of these verses in the domains of exegesis and adaption. The research results show that some interpreters have interpreted the verses based on historical information and provided their examples; however, they have not addressed the examples that are based on the interpretation of those verses. Others have interpreted the verses based on the current status of Jews and Muslims, sometimes confusing the interpretation and exegesis of the verses. Additionally, some have interpreted parts of the verses based on historical information and other parts in consideration of the current situation of the Jews. Some of these interpreters have addressed both previous examples and those parts of the verses that reflect the current conditions of the Jews. This perspective is not contradictory to the adaption raised in the infallible Imams' Hadiths. Most interpreters have not sought to state later examples of the verses; however, this aspect of the epistemic capacity of the verses have been taken into account in the Hadiths of the infallible Imams, and their significant examples have been presented.
