Abstract
The role and function of reason in understanding and interpreting the Holy Quran is disputed by commentators. Some deny the functions of reason in interpreting and understanding the verses of the Qur'an, and some accept it. Ayatollah Javadi Amoli and Rashid Reza are among the commentators who have used reason to understand the verses. Among the challenging verses that these two commentators have used reason to interpret are the verses of intercession; But according to the foundations and presuppositions different from the truth and the nature of intercession, the result they obtained is completely opposite. One has proven intercession by using negation and the other has proved it; Therefore, in the present research, with the descriptive-analytical method and library study, a comparative comparison of the views of Ayatollah Javadi Amoli in Tafsir Tasnim and Rashid Reza in Tafsir Al-Manar, regarding the role and functions of reason in the interpretation of the verses of intercession in the Holy Quran.
