Critical analysis of Mohammad Abed Al-Jabri's theory about the Muhkam and Mutashabeh verses

The discussion of Muhkam and Mutashabeh verses is one of the most fundamental and challenging issues in the field of interpretation of the Qur'an and Quranic sciences, which has long been considered by scholars of various Islamic sciences among different religions and sects. Using a descriptive-analytical method, this paper has designed and explained the new theory of Mohammad Abed Al-Jaberi on this subject based on verse 7 of Surah Al-Imran and has criticized it. The achievement of the present study is that he did not consider " Muhkam verses" and " Mutashabeh verses" in the mentioned verse to mean words and meanings, but considered them as a formative and external phenomenon. Documentary, textual and semantic objections to the narration which Jaberi has taken as the reason for the revelation of the verse in question, the non-fulfillment of the context conditions for verse 7 of Al-Imran and also the incompatibility of Jaberi's proposed meaning for the word "verse" with the general structure of the verse are among the most important criticisms of his theory.
