The Effects and Outcomes of Various Interpretive Possibilities for the Verses of the Holy Quran

The existence of several possibilities of interpreting some of the Quranic verses has raised the doubt about the ability of grasping the meaning of Quranic text, i.e. at first, the meaning of the words of the author was missing but over the time, different ideas were presented about their meaning. Of course, thanks to God, the wise author of the Quran, the meaning of the Quran is fixed, and the disagreement among the interpreters about the meaning is due to their lack of knowledge. However, the fact that there are various views about the meaning of Quranic verses cannot be ignored. This paper does not address the reasons why there are differing views, but it seeks to show the results of these diverse viewpoints. Using a descriptive analytical method and focusing on these main issues relating to beliefs, education and interpretation the paper reviews the benefits of the existence of the possibilities of interpreting some verses. On the basis of these three areas, the various possibilities of interpretation have effect on the ideological aspect of Muslims and educational and ethical effects, as well. Moreover, according to interpretive logic, they exert effect on provoking discussions on the methodology of interpretation.
