“Tefsir Usûlü” Üzerine Bazı Mülahazalar ve Teklifler
Some Considerations and Proposals on “Tafsīr Method (Uṣūl)”

Summary/Abstract: When we mention about Tafsīr method, the method of how to tafsīr is the first thing that comes to one’s mind. When the books of tafsīr method are mentioned, one can understand the books revealing this method. In this way, we may say that the method and “uṣūl” evoke the same thing on minds. When we look at the meaning of the word “uṣūl”, we may firstly understand the elements that form the basis of these methods instead of bases or methods. However, when we examine the recent books of tafsīr method, it is seen that the elements that form the basis of the method are not discussed before the method itself. Also, those books include in the content and aspects that are not related to the “uṣūl” and methods as well. This situation requires an assessment of such books and a writing of commentary works from a different perspective. By considering the issue, this study reveals the need for a different point of view based on the meaning of the word “uṣūl”. First of all, in this article, it is discussed that a book of “uṣūl” should reveal the originals and the fundamental on which the holistic bases are emphasized. Although some principles are pointed out, the purpose of our research is not to determine the original and asymptomatic principles of the tafsīr and to present it as an offer.
