One of the theories about abrogation of Quran is Naskh Ma’kus. This is Muhammad Taha’s theory or attributed to him. The religious thought of Taha includes two main elements, Sufi thoughts and new theories, and Naskh Ma’kus is derived from both of them. There is also another type of abrogation in Taha’s works, is called Naskh Tamhidi .Abrogation has been reflected in Taha's opinions in two main ways: First, Meccan verses ,which are regarded as the original verses, can refute(abrogate) Madinan verses as the marginal. Second, Meccan verses ate regarded as original whereas Madinan verses are regarded as marginal. So something that is marginal is to be temporary and contingent with the expediencies of the spactial, temporal, and addressees. In current study, the above-mentioned theory was delved into in the light of descriptive-analytic- critical. The findings of study indicated that the theory bears some limitations including : Lack of promulgating the changes in eternal message related to Maki verses based on political expediencies of Madinah from the part of Holy Prophet, the lack of objection from the part of Muslims as far as fundamental changes in eternal message of the Maki verses are voncetned, priority of abrogating over abrogated in Taha's theory while the conditions required for the realization of abrogation depends on temporal deferment of abrogating over abrogated, lack of evidence for regarding Meccan verses as original , for Madinan verses as marginal , the existence of contradiction in foundation and marginality of Taha' theory

This article refers to the apparent conflict between the second verse of the chapter of Al Nor surah about adultery with verses 15 and 16 of An-Nisa surah (a chapter in the Quran entitled ‘Women’). Verse 15 of the Surah An-Nisa states that women who commit adultery must be confined in their houses. Apparently, this verse contradicts the following verse (verse 16) which states that adulteress women must be harassed. Moreover, both these verses are inconsistent with the second verse of the Surah Al Nor (another chapter in the Quran entitled ‘The Light’) which asserts that adulteresses must be whipped. A solution must be sought to resolve these contradictions by scrutinizing the above-mentioned verses and asking for religious authorities’ viewpoints about this issue. In this regard, according to some religious scholars, verse 16 abrogates verse 15 in the Surah An-NISA, and according to some others verse two in the Surah Al-NOOR abrogates both the other two. In contrast, some great interpreters have negated any probability of abrogation in the three verses due to different topics discussed in them. In this study which has been carried out using a descriptive analytical method, the researchers came to the conclusion that abrogation has not taken place at all and, in fact, there would not be any need to solve the problem by raising the topic of abrogation.
