| Abstract | ||||
| This article analyzes the interpretative approach of the al-Manar school regarding the role of the Sunna and transmitted traditions in relation to reason in the interpretation of the Qur’an. According to Imam Muhammad Abduh, the founder of the al-Manar school (d. 1905), reason plays a dual role: judging interpretative traditions and intervening, in their absence, in interpreting the Qur’an using discourse analysis tools. However, Abduh sometimes leans towards a rational interpretation at the expense of traditional exegeses. As for Rashid Rida, the second founder of the al-Manar school (d. 1935), he was closer to relying on transmitted evidence and traditional interpretations.Three topics were addressed to clarify this approach: First: Metaphysics or the science of hearing: Abduh suggests a symbolic interpretation of some metaphysical phenomena, while personally adhering to the method of the early generations (delegation) in some cases, such as belief in angels. Second: Miracles: Abduh and Rida, influenced by rationalism, adopt an interpretation of some miracles within the framework of divine natural laws. Third: Science: The Al-Manar school relies on scientific facts as an interpretative source, reconciling the Quran with modern science. | ||||
