Abstract

Al-Qur’an is the main source of Islamic teachings which contains essential messages. In order to avoid misinterpretation, an exegete should comprehend the rules of interpretation. This study was designed to thematically analyze the rules of amr, nahy, and the concept of taklif in the Qur’an. The method used was literature study through analyzing literatures. The findings indicated that the principle of amr in the Qur’an refers to an obligation whether it was determined by certain evidence. The principle of nahy is an order to leave something by a higher authority to a lower authority. Furthermore, the concept of taklif involves words which imply a burden on those who have reached the age of puberty. It provided an insight on the importance of the rules of interpretation to prevent any misinterpretation of the Qur’an.
