This method has mostly found in scientific, social, philosophical and mystic interpretationsand expresses one of themiracle dimensions of the Qur'an.However, this method may representthemeanings of the terms that were not understood in the era of descending of the Quran;so, it has proponents and opponents. However, opponents cannot be placed in a category,among their common reasons we can mention thenecessity to understand the meanings of the Qur'an to the people of the time of revelation, the disagreement of this method with the rhetoric and eloquence of the Qur'an and its directional- educative purposes, the nonapplication of this method in the practice of the Companions of the Prophet, and the gradualchange of the extentionof the meaning to the evolution of the meaning.This article tries to explain these evidences and analysis them.
