Abstract
The never-ending depth of the teachings of the Qur'an has caused that by always reflecting on its verses and words, a unique understanding of this divine book can be obtained. In this article, by examining the commentaries on the word "Measure" under verse 25 of Surah Hadid, an interpretative point of view was proposed as a preferable example. The commentators have expressed different theories in the interpretation of this word, which are: scales for measuring goods, justice, imam, right, religion and reason.
The results of the research after the interpretative analysis of the verse show that reason is not only one of the best interpretive examples for the word "measure", but also the criterion for recognizing the extent of other interpretive theories - provided it is accepted - is done only by means of reason. Following religious texts and their teachings also confirmed this interpretative view. Clarifying and confirming the place of reason in the religious system and its unique role in the principles and branches of rulings is another achievement of this research. Considering that from the point of view of a number of commentators, verse 25 of Surah Hadid expresses the mission of the prophets in establishing social justice, the interpretation of measure with reason will lead to the explanation of its special role in achieving this human ideal. Because one of the uses of reason is to adapt the teachings of revelation to the requirements of the time
