Abstract

Abstract

The Holy Qur’an is the embodiment of guidance, and Tafseer is always a lighthouse for further understanding and clarity. One, therefore, cannot live without valuing Tafseer-e-Qur’an. There are various ways to do Tafseer and different scholars keeping in view their methodogical paradigm and eras, have done so in their particular ways and styles. This kind of variation resulted into contradictions in the views. Consequently, a common reader gets confused whenever he reads the variety in the Tafseer. He takes the whole thing full of f errors and contradictions. As the text is same, the contradictions in Tafseer evolve doubt and confusions that is to be setteled and handled. Thus, the present study is about the contradictions in Tafseer. It embodies the reality of the contradictions in Tafseer. This is an analytical study which is based on secondary sources; books, articles and online sources. Tafsir differences refer to the occurrence of multiple sayings and opinions of commentators in the same verse or word of the Holy Qur'an which are different from each other. There are two basic types of interpretive differences; One is diversity and the other is contradiction. Differences In the interpretation of a verse, there are many sayings or opinions that do not contradict each other, only the nature differs. Therefore, there is a possibility of adaptation between them.
