Abstract

re are many concepts in the Holy Quran that need interpretation, so the commentators have tried to interpret; At the same time, in general, the effect of paying attention to historicism indicates that the goal of the researchers in this matter is to show the visible and hidden patriarchy that has been done in these texts; These researches lead to the proof of the continuation of the inferiority of women in the society; Although the appearance of some verses also reinforces such an opinion, but considering God's justice between men and women, such an approach can be criticized and examined, as far as possible, we will examine the view of one of these researchers named Amina Wadud. However, the question of the application of the historical perspective method from the point of view of Amina Vadod and the analysis of its effect on the interpretation of gender verses by her is the main question of this research; In this way, in addition to the description of the historical context in the view that his method of study is in the style of historiography (extra-religious) as opposed to the method of our scholars in the style of revelation-theological (intra-religious); We will discuss how it will lead to a change in people's attitude towards the Qur'an. According to the results of this research, which was carried out descriptively and analytically by studying examples of gender verses; It was found that firstly, the motive of the revelation of the Qur'an is not historical, and secondly, the statement of the reason for the revelation or a specific example does not limit the meaning of the verse. In addition, it should not be forgotten that the interpretation of one commentator is not the opinion of all commentators.
