Presupposition in The Interpretation of AL-Kifaya for AL-Darir (D. 430 AH.)

Objectives: This study aims to reveal underlying presupposition within texts through the use of interpretation of Al-Kifaya, in order to bring together the past lessons in the commentators' statements to the present one. Besides, it explains the significance of presumption in precisely interpreting the Quranic texts and identifying its intents.Methodology: This research employs a descriptive analytical technique, studying selected Quranic verses and articulating the presuppositions included in these texts in a way that facilitates understanding of what is meant.Results: Assumptions argue that speakers have relationship before speaking. The recipient understands what the speaker intends without speaking, and the speaker sounds certain that what s/he is about to say will be understood by the recipient with the smallest number of words. The essence of assumption is determined by what is believed among speakers, which vary depending on culture, context and speakers' characteristics.Conclusion: Presupposition constitutes an essential principle underlying the deliberative approach, and it is central to the discourse process. Every dialogue, including the Holy Quran, is dependent on what the speaker assumes prior to uttering words, as well as the extent to which both parties (sender and recipient) are aware of such knowledge, equally to underlying meanings within speech.
