As with other sacred texts, one of the most important subjects regarding the Qur'an concerns its interpretation or tafsir. As a matter of fact, its language and communicative style require interpretation even for legalistic verses. The fact that the Qur'an is the absolute authority for the Islamic faith increases the importance of its interpretation. Beginning from the early centuries, Muslims developed interpretation methods such as recording the circumstances or historical context of the revelation-known as asbab al-nuzul. Whereas for early scholars, the asbab al-nuzul comprised the most important exegesis of the text-critical explanation or interpretation, later scholars attempted to interpret each verse of the Qur'an by collecting what the Prophet, his companions, and the former scholars had said about each verse. This technique is known as tafsir bi al-riwaya. And finally, Qur'anic scholars began to use their own opinions and the philosophical ideas of their times in interpretation (tafsir bi al-diraya).

Imagine
that you knew the angel of death was coming to you in a few hours. What would
your first thought be?
For
most of us, it would be: What have I prepared for the next life?!
Doctors
today speak of how people are living longer than ever before. In some countries,
people live well beyond 90 years of age. Some of us may delay doing good deeds
because we think we have a long life ahead of us. But, when Allah 
speaks of the Day of Judgment, He tells us that people will feel that they've
only stayed in the dunya (this life) for a day or part of a day or even an hour.
While 90 years is a long time to live, it does not compare to eternity. People
will only realize that the next life is truly everlasting when they are standing
in front of Allah and are seeing it with their own eyes. This is why the
strongest motivation for a believer to do good deeds and stay away from sins,
after seeking the pleasure of Allah ,
is to remember death and the hereafter.
