And these ayats may have a different inner meaning from that of the apparent meaning and he may interpret them according to his beliefs. And instead of presenting his beliefs to the Holy Qur’an. (To evaluate on the scale of Qur’an). He presents the Holy Qur’an to his beliefs. (That is he does the tafseer of the Holy Qur’an according to his belief) and on the basis of his personal whims and desire, distorts the meaning of the ayats.

Kashaf the commentary of Zamakhshari[^5] is a living example of the interpretation of Qur’an according to the beliefs of the Motazela. In the same way Mafatihul Ghaib of Fakhruddin Razi is the tafseer of the Qur’anic ayats according to the Ashariah school of thought.

Both these commentators had tried to justify their predestined beliefs in the light of Qur’an and they were not ready to release themselves from their past beliefs that by freeing themselves from their original faith they should have made the ayats of the Holy Qur’an material of their research which were revealed regarding the attributes of Allah and the deeds of men.

In the same way in different periods of history, the Batiniyyah and some philosophers have interpreted some ayats of the Holy Qur’an to justify their views.

For example Mulla Abdur Razzaq Kashi has based his tafseer on the levels of Batiniyyah faith and Muhiyyuddin Arabi has done the tafseer of Qur’an according to his Sufi beliefs.[^6] This tafseer which is compiled only for the propagation of a particular school (a school whose founder was an errant and fallible person) even though some of the points may be correct but Ashariah a whole it constitutes Tafseer Bir Rayy.

At the end of the 13th century and the beginning of the 14th century this trend became common and discoveries and inventions threw up new sciences. On the basis of this a new basis of Tafseer Bir Rayy came into being for Muslim commentator and the interpretation of ayats dealing with supernatural things like soul, angels and prophets took a new shape. So that natural and material scientists could be attracted and the ayats could be presented to them so that they may be considered valuable.

The truth of our statement will become apparent if you study a tafseer like Al Manar. (Though in many of these commentaries, for example in Al Manar there are also some strong points and this is itself a remarkable thing ).
