The Impact of New Approaches in Qur'an Interpretation on Political Islam Thought

Familiarity of Muslim scholars with new Western intellectual and philosophical find- ings led to the presentation of novel interpretations of the Qur'an and Islamic concepts that are significantly different from traditional interpretations, Presented a new religion. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of new approaches in the interpreta- tion of the Qur'an on Islamic society in the areas of the relationship between religion and government, democracy, and the legitimacy of government. In this regard, especially Nasr Hamed Abu Zayd's novel interpretations of what and how the phenomenon of revela- tion is considered, led to his presentation of the theory of the discourse of revelation by him. To investigate this issue, it has been tried to study and evaluate different scenarios in this field by using the futures research approach and by applying the scenario design method. Findings show that these theories will have major effects on Muslim thought and action be- cause according to the evidence and findings of possible scenarios, new interpretations in the future can lead to the negation of the grammatical and content comprehensiveness of the Qur'an and the negation of theocracy with minimal expectation of religion. The affirmation of the divine-human legitimacy will lead to political power. As a result, the Islamic society is exposed to various harms and threats and must prepare itself for each of these scenarios by eliminating its weaknesses and strengthening its strengths
