One of oldest and most important discussions of the Quranic thinkers is the legitimacy of the interpretive methods. Gilliot is one of the orientalists who have put forth criticisms on the legitimacy of the Ijtihadi interpretation. His criticisms have four dimensions: the Ijtihadi interpretation was established at the end of the second century AH; at the same time, Muslim thinkers opposed the Ijtihadi interpretation; narrations oppose the Ijtihadi interpretation; and there is no agreement with the Ijtihadi interpretation in the Quran. These criticisms are answered in two ways. First, the Ijtihadi interpretation method was established in the early years of the first century AH and the opposition to it occurred at the same time. Second, no narration is against the Ijtihadi interpretation. Those narrations that have prohibited the subjective interpretation of the Quranic text do not refer to the Ijtihadi interpretation. In addition, many narrations agree with the Ijtihadi interpretation. Moreover, some verses of the Quran also agree with the Ijtihadi interpretation.

As two pillars of the Qur’anic exegesis, the style and context of revelation have long held the attention of Shiite and Sunni commentators of the Qur’an. Undoubtedly, the context of revelation should be compatible with the style to gain reliability and credence. This paper studies their impact on understanding the Qur’an and compares Al-e Imran’s contexts of revelation in Shiite and Sunni exegeses of the Qur’an to determine their reliability and compatibility with the style. This is a comparative-analytic textological study. If there be compatibility between the context of revelation and style, the commentator would use the context of revelation to understand the Qur’anic verses.
