Abstract

Historically, in every era knowledge of Quranic exegesis has remained under the particular tendencies of aesthetic taste of that period. As the tide of time took a turn, a new style and approach to the exegesis of the Quran surfaced. The rapid and limited time of our age drove the noble Mufassirun to simplify and make the exegesis of the Quran comprehensible and facilitating for people. This approach, known as the Subjective (Thematic) Method, involves gathering and grouping Quranic verses according to their themes and then explaining through commentary and elaboration so that a reader can understand numerous verses of the Quran at once. Hence, the style and manners of every Mufassir seem different from others. However, it is broadly evident from the critical analysis of exegetical services rendered by great. Exegetical experts that the style of the majority of them is influenced by Quranic text, its interpretation, explanation and derivation which highlights their scholarship. And this exegetic style reflects from beginning to end in these exegeses. Although this method was partially found in the exegesis of classical Mufassireen and forebears by chance but it was not formally organized and principled. Current construction didn't develop until the 20th century AD or the 14th Hijri. Islamic scholars introduced this approach and developed and established its tenets in the fourteenth Hijri century. Following these rules, a list of subjects is created after a thorough analysis of Quranic verses to determine thematic subjects. The verses that are mentioned in connection with these topics are compiled from various chapters and sections, giving readers a thorough study of the Quran according to their tastes. In conclusion, an attempt is made to comprehend the divine design and purpose of the address.
