Süleyman Ateş'in Yüce Kur'ân'ın Çağdaş Tefsiri'nde Bakara Sûresi Bağlamında Psikolojik Yorumlar [Psychological Comments in the Context of Surah al-Baqarah in Suleyman Ates' Yüce Kur'ân'ın Çağdaş Tefsiri]

Since the time when the Qur’ān was revealed, it has continued to be the first guide for humanity on the way to the truth. The provisions and recommendations it contains are always put on the basis of wisdom, whether the reason is known or not. Almighty Allah, who informs man that He is closer than his jugular vein, surely knows all his weaknesses and hidden aspects better than His servant. In His orders and prohibitions, which He declared as a manifestation of His mercy, He takes into account these qualities of the servant and makes him responsible both
materially and spiritually in accordance with his nature. It is possible to
clearly see this effect in the Qur’ān that directly addresses human beings.
Based on human feelings, thoughts and behaviors in its provisions,
the Qur’ān is open to a psychological reading in today’s terms. Although
there are partial examples in the past literature, it becomes more important
to approach the Qur’ānic verses in the light of this science whose
framework has been determined as of today. In fact, the formation of a
school together with Psychology and Tafsīr is only a matter of time, but
Süleyman Ateş, one of the contemporary interpreters, makes a valuable
contribution to this understanding by taking a psychological approach to
some verses in his tafsir book. In this study, an example of his approach
will be presented and analyzed within the framework of the chapter of
al-Baqarah.
