Quran is a text that needs to be interpreted for its intentions to be understood. After understanding these intentions, using them for the purpose of human guidance in the process of adaption (Tatbīq) is in order. The question is how can one grasp these intentions from the text of the Quran and then perform the process of adaption. Analyzing the process of interpretation leads to the following conclusions: As text could be written or non-written, the concept of frameworks of interpretation (maqāmāt tafsīrī) is put forward and Understanding the meaning is only possible in one of these frameworks. These frameworks are: apparent signification (sībāq), the occasion and environment of revelation of verse, context (sīyāq), the occasion and environment of revelation of chapters, written discourse of Quran in written discourse of Quran, and spoken discourse of Quran in spoken discourse of Quran. There is no conflict between these frameworks and to achieve the interpretation of a verse in its entirety, we need to study all of these frameworks. Analyzing the process of adaption leads to the following conclusions: The scope of this process is all verses. This process is different from the process of interpretation and is done with relationship and aim. This process is performed at one modus ponens and in conflict of recipients with apparent signification or the occasion and environment of revelation of one verse. This adaption is acceptable when there is no conflict between the adaption of one verse and the frameworks of interpretation in other verses.
