The author of the present paper tries to illustrate the abovementioned deficiencies in the present definitions consequently, provides a realistic, objective, new and efficient definition of work interpretation and display the hidden features and neglected aspects of this interpretation method. After reporting, classifying and analyzing the present definitions, the author, in the light of theories of rationalism and revelationism, divides the Quran's commentaries into two great groups: rational commentaries and revelationistic commentaries and defines each of them separately and determines the status of work interpretation and enumerates the characteristics of this interpretation method. Adoption of descriptive approach instead of normative and prescriptive approach is the main characteristic of this research paper which distinguishes it from other research papers.
