Solving Intellectual Problems in Explaining the Qur'anic Text (An Examination of Imam Askari's Point of View)

The narratives of pure Imams (peace be upon them) were not limited to explaining the content of the Qur'anic texts and interpreting and applying their meanings - due to the fact that the Imams are the continuation of the path of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) and therefore, it is entrusted to them to introduce the Holy Qur'an as a duty, just like the duty of the Prophet. Rather, their narratives have gone beyond this situation and have been brought into explaining the intellectual problem that the reader has in his unclear or ambiguous understanding of the verse, as stated in the narratives of Imam Askari. Based on what we have examined, this work was one of the important duties of the imams, and it was their responsibility to clear the doubts related to the Qur'anic text, like the same duty they had – to show that the Qur'an is a miracle. Because not clearing doubts and errors and not understanding the text correctly will lead to unfortunate consequences and paths that will have bad consequences. It is thought that the same interpretive understanding is the meaning taken from the Qur'anic verse and people must act on it, and therefore it can be said and must be admitted that such clearing of ambiguity from the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) is an intellectual obligation from the point of view of reason and is a customary necessity that there is no other choice.
