بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

40.4

مَا یُجَادِلُ فِیْۤ اٰیٰتِ اللّٰهِ اِلَّا الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا فَلَا یَغْرُرْكَ تَقَلُّبُهُمْ فِی الْبِلَادِ(4)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

None dispute about the verses of Allah except those[1] who disbelieve, so do not let their roaming in the cities deceive you.

Commentary

[1]

Disputing Quranic verses can take different forms, some of which are disbelief and others of which are close to disbelief and unlawful. For example, it is disbelief to deem the Quran as magic, poetry, soothsaying, or fables of the past. Manipulating the Quran to fit one’s own agenda can potentially be disbelief. Likewise, to speak on the meaning of the Quran without the correct qualifications is unlawful, and to be adamant that one’s personal interpretation is correct is ḥarām to a greater degree. This is not akin to distinguished commentators of the Quran and the expert mujtahids presenting their arguments to elaborate on the meanings and intricate details of difficult parts of the Quran—such arguments have nothing to do with the arguments posed by non-scholars. The differences of opinion amongst the commentators of the Quran and the expert jurists are not arguments per se, rather they are conclusions of qualified and valid research.
