| Summary: | Received: 2020-01-06 | Accepted: 2020-07-29 Being a verse in the realm of the theological confrontation of monotheistic belief in God in contrast to polytheism, the 106th verse of the Sura Yusuf (Joseph) shows a vast caliber in methodological studies of comparative tafsirs. The purport of the verse concerns a combination of belief in God in contrast to polytheism in the case of a great majority of people to whom reference is made in the same verse. Based on the theological view that defines belief in monotheism as a simple truth or as interconnected with other pillars of the faith such that with a slight disruption in any of the pillars, the original version of the faith will turn invalid, hence no association between faith and polytheism would seem feasible. In contrast, another version (that views faith and polytheism being of relative values and levels, hence subject to relative meanings) regards it as a sound reason for its proof. The content of the very verse shows that it has a multitude of significance capacities for theologians' discussions such that through distinguishing apparently revelatory vs. esoteric-interpretative meanings, a wide range of probable meanings emerges with regard to the very verse. The present paper has a comparative, descriptive-analytical approach to reporting the theological views of the Quran interpreters, in addition to a Quranic hadith-based literary outlook, hence their theological challenges. © As'adi, M.
