Abstract

The Holy Quran can be understood by the other verses of Quran and by the Sunnah and by the Arabic literature. It is impossible to understand the Holy Quran without having a good grasp of Arabic. This is why the Arabic poetry is called ‘The register of the Arabs’ (ديوان العرب) Islam does not oppose poetry if it is written on didactic and divine lines. This article describe the meaning of Shear, meaning of Istishhaad bi-Shear (Cross-referencing of poetry), it’s status in Tafseer and the various opinions of Islamic scholars.
