Abstract

Hermeneutics is a new and complicated science to understand the text, which also includes religious texts. The Qur'an, which is the word of God, its text is considered as a divine message. Therefore, one of the basic issues in the field of interpretation of the Qur'anic text is the problem of understanding the Qur'anic messages. Discovering the meaning and better understanding of the meaning of the Qur'anic verses depends on the principled and logical use of hermeneutic after a fair critique and examination of this science. The approach of the present article is to extract Qur'anic hermeneutics by using the methods and applying the rules of hermeneutic understanding using Quranic propositions. Therefore, the article seeks to explain the verses that refer to topics and issues related to hermeneutic, and analyzes the rules and mechanisms that the verses and propositions of the Qur'an themselves have presented to gain an understanding of the meaning of the verses of the Qur'an in order to present a new form and method in understanding and interpreting the Qur'an. The present study is fundamental in terms of its type of problem and has examined hermeneutic verses through a descriptive-analytical method. This article aims to follow and adapt the Qur'anic propositions related to the rules of understanding the Qur'an with some principles of hermeneutics, which do not conflict with the principles and methods of understanding the Qur'an, Finally, this article extracts and explains the Qur'anic hermeneutics, which refers to the verses related to the rules of understanding the text of the Qur'an
