[quote]Iqbal
&quot;KHUD BADALTE NAHEEN QURAN KO BADAL DETE HAIN 
HUWEY KIS DARJA FAQEEHANE HARAM BE TAUFIQ&quot; 
&quot;These people don&#226;€™t change themselves but they change the Qur&#226;€™an (by their interpretations). How unfortunate are these custodians of haram (Islam).&quot;

The actual intention of Iqbal when he said the above sha'arare apparent from the following which is next to the above sha'ar:
&quot;AHKAM TERE HAQ HAIN MAGAR APNE MUFASSIR 
TAAWEEL SE QURAN KO BANA SAKTE HAIN PAZHAND&quot; 
&quot;O Allah! Your guidance is no doubt The Truth. But our interpreters can turn Qur&#226;€™an into Pazhand by their interpretations.&quot;

[Pazhand is the book compiled by the followers of Zoroaster which according to them is the interpretation of Avesta, the book of Zoroaster in which his followers inserted their own thoughts.]
So Iqbal actually criticized the so called mufassirs of Quran who interject their own thoughts and baseless hadith as well as words in brackets to change the actual interpretation of Quran not someone who tries to explain Quran through Quran
It is hard for me to believe that when Allah has already said in Quran:
(1) It is His responsibility to collect, arrange in order and explain the Quran Himself (75:17-19)
75:17 إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُ وَقُرْآنَهُ
Behold, it is for Us to gather it [in your heart,] and to cause it to be read [as it shuld to be read].
75:18 فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَاهُ فَاتَّبِعْ قُرْآنَهُ
Thus, when We recite it, follow you its wording [with all thy mind] 
75:19 ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُ
Then, behold, it will be for Us to make its meaning clear
(2) Quran is the best tafseer of itself
25:33 وَلَا يَأْتُونَكَ بِمَثَلٍ إِلَّا جِئْنَاكَ بِالْحَقِّ وَأَحْسَنَ تَفْسِيرًا
And so that they don’t come to you with anything comparable but we bring to you the truth and the best Tafseer.
(3) He explains it by the diversification of verses of Quran which means the repution of similar phrases and words at different places in Quran
6:105 وَكَذَٰلِكَ نُصَرِّفُ الْآيَاتِ وَلِيَقُولُوا دَرَسْتَ وَلِنُبَيِّنَهُ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ
And thus do We diversify the verses so the disbelievers will say, &quot;You have studied,&quot; and so We may make the Qur'an clear for a people who know.
May Allah give us guidance to read and understand and reflect on Quran. Pondering or reflecting over Quran does not mean that one insists that the meanings of a verse must be available right then and there in the verse or Surah one has to look the Quran as one whole big picture and keep in mind that Allah has taken the responsibility to explain the Quran.[/quote]
