Interpretation and Explanation
We have sometimes interpreted a text (of the Qur’an)
ourselves when such a text was not directly explained, either by Allah, Most
Wise, or by His Messenger (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam). We did so in
order to locate the Qur’anic explanation for our subject. When we did so, we
exposed ourselves to the summary rejection of those who admit to no
interpretation whatsoever of sacred texts other than its direct and literal
meaning… We invite those who reject our interpretations to themselves present
that ‘explanation’ with which the Qur’an ‘explains’ the return of the
Jews to the Holy Land.
Secondly, when we interpreted a Qur’anic text we always did
so with the proviso that Allah Knows best! (Allahu ‘alam).
