اَحسن اور غیر اَحسن تاویلات: مفہوم واشکال

Abstract

 In Surah 3 namely ‘The Family of Imran’ of the Holy Quran, Allah Almighty has mentioned two contrastive terms Muhkamat (Clear in Meaning) and Mutashabihat (Not very clear in meaning) in verse 7. These have been widely debated by medieval Arab scholars and prominent theologians. The literature of exegesis is full of great variety of meanings and explanations. However, the word Mutashabihat was not perceived well until the recent time and the present age of science. The present scientific knowledge revealed another aspect of the meanings.

 اَحسن اور غیر اَحسن تاویلات," can be translated as "Positive and Negative Interpretations" in English. This refers to the different ways something can be understood or interpreted, with "اَحسن" representing the positive aspect and "غیر اَحسن" representing the negative aspect. These phrases are often used in a theological or philosophical context to refer to different ways of interpreting religious or philosophical texts.

In Islamic exegesis (tafsir) and other contexts, "اَحسن تاویلات" (Ahsan Taweelat) refers to the best, most noble, or most favorable interpretations of religious texts. It implies seeking a positive and spiritually uplifting understanding of the meanings conveyed in the texts. On the other hand, "غیر اَحسن تاویلات" (Ghair Ahsan Taweelat) refers to interpretations that may be negative, less favorable, or less spiritually enriching.

These terms are often used to discuss how different scholars and individuals approach the interpretation of religious teachings, emphasizing the importance of seeking deeper meanings and avoiding misinterpretations that could lead to negative outcomes or misunderstandings.
