Summary/Abstract: In order to duly read Az-Zamaẖšarī's comment of Qur'an (al-Kaššāf) it is necessary to penetrate into the exegetical methods and hermeneutical structure that lies in the methodology used in writing this classical Tafsir. In this paper we present the most necessary remarks on az- Zamaẖšarī's exegetical methods of study of the text and meaning of the Qur'an. We have tried to explain this level of his Tafsir, through the many steps that he named like this: And this part of the Qur'an is read even this "(wa quri'a – و قرئ )," and if you asked / told "(fa in qulta – فإن قلت ) -" I'm telling you "(qultu - قلت ) or, more rarely, "and if someone said" (fa in Qala qā'ilun - فَإِنْ قَالَ قَائِلٌ ), "I answer" (qultu - قلت ), "and why not say so?" Halle Qila - ىَلاَّ قِيلَ or: Wa Halle Qila - وَىَلاَّ قِيلَ , "as it was told," "as it was said" Ka'annahū Qila - كَأَنَّوُ قِيلَ , and finally wa l-ma'nā ( وَالْمَعْنَ ), "and the meaning is" (or: and this word means). All these exegetical procedures should be viewed as a whole, in the az-Zamaẖšarī's quest for a meaning more of the Qur'an.
