The Role of the Semantic Relations among the Verses in Tafsir-Al-Mizan with an Approach to Context Rule

One of the important components that Allameh Tabataba'I has considered in Tafsir-Al-Mizan is the semantic relations among the verses, which he has discovered by using Qur'anic evidence specially the context rules. By using library tools and written in a descriptive-analytical way, the current paper has reviewed one of the principles of the author of Al-Mizan in understanding the Qur'an. The result of this study shows that according to Allameh the most important and common semantic relations of verses exist among strong and meaningful relations such as Ta’alil (causality) relation among the verses (causation of a part of a verse for the other part of that verse, and causation of a verse by other verses), preparing to state a subject (a sentence for stating another sentence of the same verse and a verse for stating another verse), answering the existing and predetermined question, considering the absolute and conditional relation, generalization and specification relation (common generalization and specific generalization). For discovering Allah almighty’s purpose and providing the correct interpretation of verses, it is required to consider these relations.
