In general, most of Qurâanic interpretations (Kitab-kitab Tafsir, red-) have a systematic of Qurâanic order in Mushaf, started from Surah al-Fâtihah and ended at Surah al-Nâs. Unlike those, Muhammad Abid al-Jabiri, is commonly known as al-Jabiri, contemporary Islamic thinker from Marroco, wrote a Qurâanic interpretation based on chronological order of Surahs, Fahm al-Qurâân al-Hâkim. It is started from Surah al-Alaq: 1-5 and ended at Surah al-Nashr. Al-Jabiri offered new methodology to understand Qurâanic text which he called as al-fashl to answer problems of objectivity and al-washl to answer problems of rasionality. He based his interpretation on Qirââah Muâshirah (contemporary reading) so Qurâanic text will be contemporary for itself and contemporary for its readers in contemporary context. This article describes briefly about al-Jabiriâs works, Fahm al-Qurâân al-Hâkim, his thoughts in Qurâanic issues and his offered interpretation methodology.
