Quran is the Words of Allah (SWT). Its interpretation is very difficult job because of the concept that how one can understand the will of Creator. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was the first exegete of Quran. His companions were the next one. This chain is continuously running till now. In subcontinent, translations of Quran and its exegesis work started in third century Hijra. Hundreds and Thousands of Quranic exegeses exist in subcontinent in Arabic, Persian, English and Urdu languages. In subcontinent Sir Syed, Mudoody, Farahi, Shabir Usmani, are the big names of the field. Everyone has chosen a secluded methodology/principle to interpret the Quran. These principles are known as Usool-e-Tafseer. There are many differences among these Usool, due to personnel mindset and social scenario of different era. The question, that why much diversity exists in these Usool-e-Tafseer and what are its causes, are being addressed here in this article. On the basis of analytical study, it is found that reason behind this diversity is the concept that exegesis of Quran is based on verbal traditions instead intellectual. Secondly, no one compiled these principles/methods for interpretation of Quran in early centuries. In ninetieth century, due to the challenge of science and orientalism, some scholars compiled Usool-e-Tafseer according to their own understanding and some insisted on traditional continuity
