The present article deals with a number of the methodological issues in <br />the political interpretation of the Holy Qur’an. It seeks to clarify the <br />most prevalent methodological assumptions which are necessary for <br />the  political  interpretation  of  the  Qur’an.  To  this  end,  the  article <br />appeals to the means of the “interpretational” methodology and the <br />documentary  research  method.  The  article  claims  that  the <br />explanations  of  the  interpreters  of  the  Qur’an  about  the  political <br />subjects  follow  a  number  of  meta‐commentary  assumptions,  which <br />have been clarified through the article. The results of this article can <br />facilitate  the  studies  concerning  the  political  interpretation  of  the <br />Qur’an, methodologies of the sacred texts and the Qur’anic sciences.
