Abstract

< p >One of the approaches of women-focused commentators to attack the Qur''an patriarchal inferences is the historical approach. Some of them tried to design a different model to prove gender equality, referring to the various changes in the history of ignorance and Arabs at the age of revelation. The present study is a descriptive-analytical method, a report of historical views of women-focused interpreters and then analyzes its foundations. The most important findings indicate that the believers in the historicity of the Qur''an have been subjected to the following strategic mistakes: a) Neglecting the supernatural of verses and conversely, the idea of the influence of the Quran from the Hejaz environment; b) Neglecting the natural language (Fitri) of the Qur''an, and conversely, attention to its Arabic language; c) Neglecting the existence of a fixed and independent Qur''an in a protected tablet and conversely, the conception of its gradual and dialectical formation; d) Neglecting the fixed semantic core of the verses and conversely, the idea of fluidity of the meaning of the text; e) Neglecting the standards of the systematic interpretation of the verses and, conversely, the idea of the interpretation is pure revelation; f) Neglecting the increasing need of man for the teachings of the revelation and conversely, the thought of ending the efficiency of religion.
