An Investigation of the Viewpoint of Sobhi Mansouras the Leader of the Contemporary Qur'anists, in the Interpretation of the Olo al-Amr Verse

The present research is carried out with the aim of reviewing and analyzing the interpretative viewpoint of Ahmad Sobhi Mansour in the field of Quran studies. Accordingly, his misinterpretation of the concept of Olo al- Amr (those in authority) is emphasized. In his method of interpreting the Qur'an, Sobhi Mansour has taken a deficient view based on which he has tried to consolidate the foundations of the idea of Quranic-sufficiency. The lack of a comprehensive view of the Qur'an in the method of using the verses and the results unrelated to the content of Quranic verses are among the features of Ahmad Sobhi Mansour's method. He argues that Olo al- Amr are those who are more obedient to God than others, and can be obeyed as long as obeying them does not lead to disobeying Allah. This viewpoint may not appear to be very inaccurate at first glance, but it is incompatible with other verses in the Holy Qur'an.
