Abstract
In the introduction to Tafsir al-Mizan, Allameh Tabataba'i believes that some exegesists of the Holy Quran have imposed their theological beliefs on the Quranic verses and have used interpretation in what has been incompatible with their religious beliefs, yet such an explanation cannot be described as exegesis. The question that is raised is that despite others' warning against falling into the trap of presuppositions, how does Allameh react to the fallacious verses of non-infallibility while encountering with the presupposition of the infallibility of the prophets? Regarding the type of Allameh's encounter with such verses, the author generally maintains that in his explanation, while adhering to the theory of maximal infallibility, Allameh decides on justification and interpretation in lexical analysis of verses that are inconsistent with this theory, or in intellectual rhetoric, or in encrypting the relevant verses, and sometimes overlooks thorough examination of the verses. In dealing with these verses, Allameh attempts to somewhat rectify the apparent divergence between the presupposition of the absolute infallibility of the prophets and the fallacious verses of non-infallibility through rational analysis and the use of exegetic interpretation of the Quran by the Quran. This analytical-critical research collected data though a desk study. Keywords: Allameh Tabatabai, Theological Presupposition, Infallibility of the Prophets, Interpretation, Exegesis
