Abstract

Many thinkers believe that basing the Quran and new and up-to-date interpretations of it is a way to respond to new issues and preserve religious values and beliefs. Many commentaries were written with this concern, among them, some endeavored to use the basics of the social approach, and some did the interpretation regardless of the specific rules and basics of this approach, the latter considered them as social commentators; in this article, a comparative analysis is done. We provide two interpretations with a social approach. In this article, we have examined the compatibility of the two interpretations of “Min-Huda al-Quran” and “Al-Kashif” with the basics of the social approach (eliminating doubts from the Islamic face, proving the ability of the Quran to respond to the social requirements of the time with an educational-guidance point of view). , and the result obtained from the analysis of these two interpretations shows that the interpretation of Min Hadi al-Quran - Tafsir Hidayat - as the name of the commentary suggests, is an attempt to respond to the issues of the day by considering the aspect of education and guidance more than other categories, and the late Mughniyyah in Tafsir Kashif, by using the interpretations and sayings of the predecessors, seeks to discover the meaning of the verse and adapt it to the needs of the society today
