Evaluation of Contemporary Approaches in the Interpretation of the Qur'an Based on the Theory of Efficiency

Efficiency is a relative thing that varies according to the specific goals, possibilities and obstacles of each phenomenon. This criterion has been given special attention by different schools and theories. Although the theory of efficiency of these schools is not compatible with our religious issues, but efficiency, meaning to focus on maximum usefulness in matters such as contemporary interpretive approaches to the Holy Quran, will lead to the persistence and even social action of these theories. This research seeks to answer the question of how efficiency criteria are applicable in different approaches of an interpretive theory. Descriptive-analytical study of this issue indicates that the theory of efficiency in the approaches to the text, author, and interpreter, by following the important criteria in each of these approaches, can lead to efficient interpretive theory, and quantitative and qualitative expansion of understanding. He led the divine book, and did not overlook the diversity of interpretive approaches and views.
