Abstract

Understanding the text and discovering the meaning are the common concerns of Allameh Tabatabai's approach of "Qur'an to the Qur'an interpretation" and Izutsu's "semantic field". The first method, using a traditional approach, defends the understanding and interpretation of Qur'an in the light of other verses, and he second, by means of the "Bon School" considers itself responsible for the semantic discovery of key words in the text of Qur'an. The main idea of this work is to answer to the question how to perform the divine aspects based on Allameh interpretational approach, using Izutsu's "semantic field". In this regard, through analytical-descriptive approach, the present study has chosen a couple of key words from Allameh interpretational works, and has reviewed and recreated them through Izutsu’s model. The findings of the present research show that first: according to the claims of both interpreters, in spite of the linguistic and semantic conflicts in Qur’an text, this divine book is able to talk in its own language and to be its own interpreter. Second, through Allameh’s “interpretational approach”, one can illustrate Qur’an key words chart in Izutsu’s “semantic field” imaginative system. Third, to prove this type of review, one can perform “the divine knowledge”.
