Survey of the historical approach to the religious gnosis emphasizing on the historical vision to the Koran

The Historicism in Western Philosophy is considered as a research method in religious texts which has been expanded among the Muslim Intellectuals recently. Accordingly, religious episteme is a historical phenomenon and has not been transmitted to the other periods and on other words, there is a gap between the epistemic periods. Hence the QURAN is the central text of Muslims which is interpreted in different manner, while none of them are not absolute one. In fact, all interpretations of Quran are historical and have been affected by the contexts. Its proponents argued that the Quran is cultural and contextual text, so dogmatic approaches on religious episteme that has been received through Quran, should be abandoned. It must be taken into consideration as a historical phenomenon. Assessment of their claims shows that certain principles of historicism is ambiguous and capable to be criticized; Although This approach rooted in the history of Islamic thought and methods of the text understanding but it will not be able to be applied to all religious teachings and evaluated by historical method.
