Rethinking the word faraḍa: An Inquiry to the Earliest Commentaries and Its contextual relevance

Some exegetic comments narrated from early scholars do not relateneither to the Quranic context, nor to lexicographical and linguisticevidences. As a case, such irrelevance can be observed for the verbfaraḍa in the verse (Q.۲۴:۱), as well as the verse (Q.۲۸:۸۵). Regardingmethodology, this research used both traditional lexicographical andlinguistic etymological inquiries. The result of the research is the factthat both verses are speaking of the philosophy of the Quranic surahsbeing revealed gradually in separate parts appropriate to social occasionsand the challenges in prophetic era.
