Being the primary source for Basic Islamic Sciences, the Qur'an is an indispensable to research in the subject. Aqidah, Fiqh and Akhlaq depend on the writings of the Qur'an. So, understanding the edicts and comprehending the meanings behind it is necessary to make righteous decisions. From the inception of Islam, Muslim followers tried to make sense of the Ayah and came up with methodologies in their endeavour. In the Tafsir school, riwayat and diraya are more prominent. While in the Riwayat school, the Ayah are explained through personal riwayats. In such methods, the Fiqh explanations of Ahkam Ayahs were formulated. Also in the inception phase, the Sufi schools based their conclusions on their daily lives, their own experiences, and inspirations they acclaimed through meditation. Thus, the Ramzi tafsir was conceived. The exegesis can also be viewed as an extension of the diraya. Through the various methods aforementioned, several scholars with unique world views and philosophies developed different ways to understand the Qur'an. Sufi scholars explained more of the Akhlaq and Amal Ayahs based on their own interpersonal lives. Although their reasonings upon the Ahkam Ayah are considered debatable by other interpretations.
