Abstract
True understanding of the concepts of Quranic verses depends on using efficient means in the field of exegesis rules. Context as one of the most important rules of interpretation has various functions in the semantics of Quranic implications and concepts. Ahlul-bayt as the true interpreters of the Quran, in the position of explaining Quranic verses, have used various functions of context and its different capabilities for explanation of exoteric meanings of the Quranic verses. In field of semantics, they have revealed semantic area of Quranic words that is not feasible only through philology.In field of recognizing Quranic implication, with respect to flexibility of Quranic sentences against different elicitations, Ahlul-bayt have considered relying on context to be efficient in preventing from deficiency and mistake in the Quranic verses inference. These efficiencies have been revealed in some areas like limitation of absolute Hadiths, generality specification, detailed explanation and explanation of denotation of general concepts. Removing doubts from verses expressed in a figurative manner is another function of context in Ahlul-bayt interpretative narrations.
