Introduction
Islam appeared
in the Arabian Peninsula in the seventh century AD. Farmers settled across the countryside of present-day Saudi Arabia, while traders anchored its ports. In this territory, the unfortunate nomadic tribes are committed to polytheism. With sports as a way of life, the region is not a source of centralized power. Islam not only introduced the monotheistic religion, but also introduced a number of laws and morals that are all enshrined in the Qur'an. The "situational" interpretations of the Qur'an are becoming gradually popular, especially among Muslims known as "advanced jihadists." the key concerns of this book is to understand as well as interpret the legal content of the Qur'an and to link it to the changing the needs and conditions of today's Muslims, which is important in dealing with the text at the different levels. The importance of social and historical background. In classical novels, although instrumental literature is often used, it is not important to emphasize the socio-historical context, especially when interpreting legal ethical texts (Saeed, 2020).
Understanding the socio-historical context of the Qur’an affect the way we interpret its moral, ethical, and legal prescriptions today
The Qur'an is a description of advice, commands, instructions, prohibitions, prohibitions, commands and sermons. If the Qur'an is a sacred instruction, then the life of a prophet is an example of translating its message into a role. He is the person mentioned in the Qur'an and can express the best ideals of the Islamic faith among the celebrations of humanity. The ethics, morals, and religious duties entrusted to him are all-encompassing and can last forever. Just as the Qur'an encompasses all aspects of human life, God reveals through the life of the prophet the whole field of human experience, whether public or private(BOCOUM, 2017).Unfortunately, the Muslim community today has identified the body of the prophet without the moral spirit of the prophet. Many of his personal qualities were destroyed. Egypt's Muhammad Abduh, who was considered the most important representative of Islamic modernism, continued to argue until his death in 1905: "Today, most people who act in the name of Islam are not really Muslims. It can protect things from the outside. Islamic prayers, the shells of fasting and Hajj, and some proverbs are distorted with allegorical interpretations. These vassals and superstitions entered Islam and caused stagnation and now stagnation. Therefore, the Qur'an should not be considered as a collection of personal associations and exhortations, but as a whole relationship. Support each other, so only by linking each statement to a statement elsewhere on the page can we understand its true meaning. We can explain the meaning. According to Imam Muhammad Abduh, the Qur'an is "his best commentary(saeed, 2020)." By clearing the historical and moral context of the Qur'an, Puritanism has finally transformed the text into a long-term provision of legal provisions(Farrin, 2014). Modern debates about the meaning of the Qur'an are complex as well as often controversial. How Muslims achieve this balance is usually related to their views on the Qur’an. The interpretation of the Qur'an is interrelated, and in this regard, most of the Muslims can be roughly divided into three categories: textual, semi-textual, or situational, which contribute to the understanding of the general interpretation of the Qur'an. The first of these groups are the “textualists” who advocate a “literal” interpretation of the Qur’an, and its information must remain “clean” and not subject to the demands of modern society. The difference between the activists is that they...
