Sahabe ve Kur’an
The Companions and the Qur’an

Summary/Abstract: It is needless to say that there is a difference in thought between the Companions of the Prophet and next generations. This diffrence widely increases when it comes to interpretation of the Quran. This could be due to the fact that the Companions have lived the revelation context as well as they were direct addresses of the revelation. Therefore it becomes a necessity for any one wants to interperet the Quran to determine how the Companions understood it. This approach was frequently critisized being historicisim and accordingly, the Quran became a text which can be understood and interpreted by every reader based on his/her personal thinking. Hence, the fact that the Quran was gradually revealed in a specific context, as well as profetic practices were ignored. This produced a problematic interpretation of the Quran. In conclusion exegieses who want to interpret the Quran should reconsider the Companions opinios and attitudes towards the Quran.
