This article examines interreligious relations during the Qur’anic revelation and its contextualization in the contemporary world. This library research, focusing on ‘Ali Jum’ah’s thought, utilizes a qualitative with a historical approach. The results of this research show that the Qur'an was revealed in four models of Muslim and non-Muslim relations: the Meccan period model; the Habasyah phase, the first migration of some Muslims and as a minority under non-Muslims authority; and two Medina periods (the Early and the Latter) when Muslims become a majority who lived together peacefully with other religious communities under Muslim authority. Ali Jum'ah uses nasā’ as a theory to contextualize the four models of interfaith relations. According to him, each of these models can be applied and developed in contemporary Muslims, especially in the Indonesian context, based on the principles of the Qur'an.

The medieval period in Spanish history has alternately been cast as a Golden Age of interfaith harmony and an example of the ultimate incompatibility of Muslim, Christian, and Jewish communities.  In this essay, I suggest that a better way to understand interfaith relations in medieval Iberia is to think about these religious communities in less monolithic terms.   With regard to Jewish-Christian relations in particular, factors such as wealth, social standing, and intellectual interests were as important as religious identity in shaping the complex bonds between Christians and Jews.

In this chapter normative approaches to exegesis from a Twelver Shīʿī perspective are combined with a diachronic historical approach. From the normative perspective, the function of exegesis is to reveal the walāya of the imams and the close complementarity of the Qur’an and the imam is the central concern for the exegete. That process begins with the classical tradition in which the Qur’an is glossed on the basis of the sayings of the imams alone, both through explicit citation and through claims articulated that draw on oral teaching. From a diachronic perspective, one finds that the development of exegesis in the Twelver Shīʿī context follows the wider scholarly engagement in different milieux over roughly three or four stages of development. Hence one finds comprehensive exegeses that examine all aspects of understanding from the language to the law, others that focus on philosophy and theology, and others still that engage in mystical speculation. The traditions of exegesis remain very much alive and flourishing in the present in manners of social engagement as well as a shift towards a more thematic approach to making sense of the Qurʾan in the contemporary world from a Shīʿī perspective.
