The nature of context and its signification can be proved based on the views of linguists, lexicographers, rhetoricians, men of letters, jurisprudents (faqihs), and experts in the principles of jurisprudence. The greatest evidence can be found in the works of such Quran interpreters as Ibn Jarir al-Tabari, Allama Tabatabaie, and Martyr Sayyid Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr who cited contexts but never regarded them as a rule. Some experts went astray in regarding context as a rule, hence several objections and ambiguities have been raised. A descriptive-analytical paper, the present work seeks to prove that context cannot be regarded as a rule, hence its signification is proved. In addition, there are also answers to other queries: whether context falls within linguistic or cognitive category, whether it is merely a kind of signification, a reminder, an index, or whether their authority pertains to the apparent cases.   <span style="color: #000000;">© Habibnezhad, S.A; Zargoush Nasan, A.J; Bekhrad, M.
