Tarikh Islam

Literary (cultural) interpretation of contemporary and modern approaches is an interpretation that was theorized by the modern Egyptian thinker Amin al-Khouli and continued and developed by students and later scholars of the Qur'an. In contemporary literary interpretation, the genealogy of Quranic contents and historical reports on the pre-Islamic era and the time of revelation is the main pillar and its results can be followed in two axes: "recognizing the history of the pre-Islamic era" and "more accurate interpretation of verses". This study tries to show the types of connection between the history and culture of the era of revelation and contemporary literary interpretation in the second axis by using an analytical-explanatory method and focusing on the works of the Qur'an. The works of linking history with literary interpretation are such as the result is that the historical semantics of the words of the Qur'an, correcting the interpretation of some verses, reinterpreting the stories of the Qur'an, and criticizing the use of incorrect historical reports in the interpretation that can be used as a model. At the same time, the monopoly of the meaning of the Qur'an in the historical context of revelation and influence, knowing the Qur'an from the culture of the time, and relying on weak historical reports, are among the deviations of literary interpretation in the use of history.
