Allah, The Glorious Has clearly mentioned in Quran (Sura 16, Verse 44) that the Prophet is the explainer to people the meanings of Quranic verses. This means that no one is allowed to interpret any Quranic verse away from the Prophetic explanation which must be from authentic Hadeeth.

There are many Hadeeths against those who interpret Quran according to their own opinions and they will be in hellfire.

There is no question of a degree of our right to interpret Quran according to our thinking, as we must follow what the Prophet (SAWA) said as his Holy Progeny Ahlul Bayt (AS) narrated from him.

Anyone who gives an opinion on Quranic meanings away from the the authentic Hadeeths from the Prophet and Ahlul Bayt is misleading others and going against the orders of Allah in Quran 14;44.

Wassalam.
