Abstract

One of the teachings of the Ahl al-Bayt in expressing the knowledge of the Holy Qur'an is opening a new window in harmony with time called interpretation. The verses of the Qur'an, in addition to what their appearance is used, have interpretations and the best way to achieve the interpretation of the Qur'an is through the Ahl al-Bayt. Because according to the hadith al-Thaqalayn, the Ahl al-Bayt (Peace be upon them) are considered to be as the justice of the Qur'an. In many explanatory narrations of Ahl al-Bayt, the verses of the Qur'an have been interpreted. This study seeks to find the answer to the question of what kind of interpretations have been made towards Imam Ali in the explanatory narrations of Surah Hud. In this regard, interpretive narrations related to Imam Ali were extracted from the explanatory narrations of Surah Hud, and by using descriptive-analytical method, it was determined that there are four types of interpretations in these narrations about that Imam, which include the internal meaning of the verse, the internal instance of the verse, the instance of the verse over time (Jari and intibaq) and the instance of the whole application or the generality of the verse.
