An Analysis of the Functions of the Contemporary Literary Schoool of Thought of the Quran

One of the trends in the interpretation of the Holy Quran is the Egyptian New Mu’tazilite trend or literary interpretation, which, according to the specialization of an exegete or his personal interest, basically explores the literary sciences in the Quran, such as morphology, syntax, vocabulary, and rhetoric, and relying on these literary sciences analyze the verses of the Quran and interpret the Quran. Literary interpretation has gone through significant changes and evolutions and has finally flourished and evolved in the new era. This trend, which started with the appearance of Taha Hussein in Egypt, was continued by Amin Khauli and his student Bint al-Shati and reached its peak in the thoughts of Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd. The first goal of these interpretations is the pure literary understanding of the Quran without any preconditions. For this interpretative tendency, indicative elements such as a systematic look at the verses, lack of synonyms, precedence of the Quran over literary rules, respect for the culture of the descent era, opposition to scientific interpretation in a special sense, etc. have mentioned a new identity. In this article, an attempt is made to analyze and explain in detail the function of each element in the interpretation of the Holy Quran with a library study and descriptive-analytical method.
