In addition to the fact that it played an important role in facing colonialism and calling for political and social reformation. It is fair to say that Tafsir (interpretation) has become liberated from the circle of texts and opinions, using a new tool which is “Science” instead of language, Fiqeh and Aquida. From another side, Tafsir cannot be limited to one age, even the age of “salaf” (the three first centuries of Islam), because the interpretation of the holy Quran should be affected by modern times and must be up dated with the history of the nation and knowledge, thus we can solve our problems everywhere and at every time. To realise that, Tafsir moved in this age from the language of methods to the language of trends. That is to say, from the used materials in interpretation into the overall frame and the intellectual background oriented towards the interpretation needs
