The controversy referred to in this paper is not to find a clash with the
qath'i texts, but to find a common perception of the two propositions so as to find the
point of truth. The controversy surrounding the issue of text versus context will never
be resolved because the existence and urgency of the Qur'an revealed are global in
nature so that a broader interpretation is needed to give benefit to humans to be able
to be applied in human muamalat problems. In understanding the propositions that
are already qath'i, sometimes it is found groups who use the text approach and then
use the context approach in different situations. So it is considered confusing among
Muslims. Whereas the existence of the Qur'an as a revealed book is very adaptive to
various problems so it must be elaborated based on the demands of the circumstances
and time.
