Abstract
This paper attempts to discuss the hermeneutical theory proposed by Fazlur Rahman. It includes therefore the discussion of Rahman’s critique on the existing theories both traditional and contemporary ones. The study finds that Rahman emphasizes the importance of understanding al-Qur’an integrally as a single whole. He also distinguishes between general laws and temporary laws as well as stresses the importance of considering context to understanding al-Qur’an correctly. As a result, the ultimate purpose of Fazlur Rahman’s theory is to build a harmony among three aspects of Islamic teaching: law, ethics, and theology, each of which has to support one another. In addition, there are three principles on which laws on human relation have to be built, namely egalitarianism, justice, and mutual consultation.
