Different verbal approaches in dealing with the problem of interpretation

One of the most challenging issues related to understanding the Qur'an is the issue of "interpretation", which has been closely linked to theological disputes for centuries.And theological schools, based on their epistemological presuppositions, have used or opposed it in understanding the Qur'an.The culmination of the discussion of this issue is manifested in the understanding of the news attributes of God that most theological sects consider these attributes as similar and interpret them.But others refuse to interpret by insisting on the appearance of the verses. Recognizing and enumerating different approaches in this field and evaluating their strengths and weaknesses, requires a comparative study of them with each other.This article seeks to provide a clear picture of various theological approaches to the problem of "interpretation" by studying the ancient sources of Islamic difference and using the method of "description and analysis".The results of the research indicate that there are two main theological approaches in this regard: 1) metaphorical approach and 2) purgatory approach, which includes three purgatory readings of the delegates, Mu'tazilites and Imams.
