Fatwa: All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah and that Muhammad is His Slave and Messenger, may Allaah exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions. The Quran was not all interpreted during the reign of the Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam. He, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, only interpreted for the companions, may Allaah be pleased with them, that which they did not understand. The reason why the Quran was not all interpreted during the reign of the Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, was that the companions, may Allaah be pleased with them, were pure Arabs and the Quran was revealed in their language, so they had no need for its full interpretation. The Quran was interpreted at later times when the languages were all mixed up because of the Islamic conquests. Hence, the people needed to understand all its meaning, consequently, the scholars, may Allaah have mercy on them, wrote books on its interpretation and interpreted it verse by verse. Allaah Knows best. Fatwa answered by: The Fatwa Center at Islamweb islamweb.net
