Abstract

Saeed Hawi is an interpreter of the Qur'an and one of the leaders of the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood, one of the contemporary thinkers and writers of the lslamic world, who has attracted the attention of many thinkers by presenting innovative ideas in the field of religious issues. One of the issues raised in the methodology of Qur'anic interpretation is the new thinking approach to the interpretation of the verses of the Holy Qur'an. The role and intellectual position of Saeed Hawi in the Muslim Brotherhood movement has caused his scientific works to be affected by the same modernist view of the Muslim Brotherhood movement, as we can see in all of Saeed's written works, traces of the modern and new-thinking attitude of the Seyyed Qutb Brotherhood and There is Seyyed Jamaluddin Asadabadi. One of the important contemporary commentaries, which was written based on this modernist point of view, is Saeed Hawi's Tafsir al-Asas fi al-Manhaj A book that is actually a collection of three books Al-Asas fi al-Tafseer, Al-Asas fi Sunnah and Fighs, and A-Asas fi Qaaaaam al-Marifah and Al-Asas fi al-Fahm lal-Nusus. In this descriptive-analytical research, an attempt has been made to explain this commentator's interpretation method, his point of view regarding modernist topics such as the unity and semantic connection of Quranic verses, the doubts and needs of today's society, and the issue of miracles. As a result, it can be said that this interpretation is one of the most comprehensive contemporary interpretations with a modernist approach
