Abstract

Concerning the status of tradition in Islamic beliefs, different viewpoints
have been suggested. The prevailing view among Shias and Sunnis is
that tradition enjoys an esteemed position next to Quran and along with it
has the responsibility of defining the Islamic teachings. In the quran to
quran interpretation method, as is apparent from the explanations of
Allameh Tabatabayi, tradition has no status in the interpretation of the
verses and Quran is independent and in no need of any other source for its
interpretation. However, studying his practical approach and resolving
his views indicates the use of tradition in different fields. It should be
declared that the author of almizan ,along his quran to quran interpreting
approach has not neglected the employment of tradition and in practice
does not consider the quranic verses adequate for reaching the depth of
the meanings of the quranic verses.
