According to Muhammad Al-Jabri, the Qur'an as a divine revelation is the product of a process; A process that has been shaped by the stages and ups and downs of Muhammad's call in the periods of Mecca and Medina. As a result, any understanding of the Qur'an must be based on this fact. In his book An Approach to the Holy Qur'an, by presenting such a definition of the Qur'an, he gives his proposed method for understanding this book. According to him, in order to understand the Qur'an, it is not enough to pay attention to the narrations of the causes of its revelation, as historical reports of the reason for the revelation of this verse or that surah, but the Qur'an must be read in the context of the prophetic call during twenty-three years with all the ups and downs and challenges that Muhammad's call faced. It has been faced to be understood. Understanding the Holy Qur'an is actually a practical example of the application of this method in understanding the meanings of the Qur'an. He always adheres to the principle of interpreting the Qur'an "contemporary with us" and understanding the Qur'an "contemporary with us", and among these two, he places special emphasis on the first part. In this way, understanding the Holy Quran is a new experience in the interpretation of the Holy Quran, which opens a new horizon in the field of interpretation to Quran scholars and calls them to look at the Quran from a different perspective, in the light of which some of the hidden meanings and details of the Quran appear. Or at least they become more accessible and transparent. He considers his book a successful work in "reciting the Qur'an through the Qur'an, and reading the Qur'an through the Qur'an" and feels satisfied with it. If what is meant by "successful work" is the first step and of course a long step in this direction, we should be with him in this feeling.
