Abstract
The Qur’an, as the principal source of guidance and knowledge in Islam, possesses a context‑oriented structure in which accurate comprehension requires attention to the semantic continuity of its verses. One phenomenon worthy of examination in this regard is “contextual rupture,” an occurrence that disrupts textual coherence and creates challenges in the processes of understanding and interpretation. This study, with a focus on the narrative exegesis of the Ahl al‑Bayt (peace be upon them), analyzes the effects of contextual rupture on the flow of Qur’anic discourse and its implications for the elucidation of Qur’anic teachings. Employing content analysis and examining selected verses, the research seeks to clarify the concept of contextual rupture, explore the exegetical approaches of the Ahl al‑Bayt in addressing this phenomenon, and highlight their interpretive strategies. The findings indicate that the narrative approach of the Ahl al‑Bayt plays a significant role in resolving ambiguities arising from contextual rupture and contributes to enhancing the depth of Qur’anic interpretation. The results of this study hold scientific and practical importance for scholars of Qur’anic exegesis and studies, particularly within the framework of the Ahl al‑Bayt tradition.
