واضح الدلالۃ: الفاظ اور تفسیر قرآن

Abstract

The power of a legal rule is to a large extent depends upon the language in which it is transmitted. To differentiate the clear from the ambiguous and decide the degrees of clarity/ambiguity in words also helps in Tafsir. From the viewpoint of clarity (wuduh), words are divided into the two main categories of clear and unclear words. A clear word conveys a concept which is intelligible without need of interpretation. The clear words are Zahir, Nass, Mufassar and Mohkam. This article deals with the issue how this classification is important and had tangible effect on tafsir.
