The Infallibility Of The Qur'An
Can the Qur’an be interpreted completely in the absence of Hadith?How do we then get the context of a particular verse?
Sir as a person who does not understand Arabic, how can one come to appreciate the beauty and coherence in the Qur’an?

The Qur’an is revealed in a historical perspective. Like any other books, the information of the background is required to understand in what context the Qur’an talks. This information comes from established history. For example, when the Qur’an mentions the battle of badr or the treaty of Hudaybiya we need to know about these events.
Hadith on the other hand is individual reporting, in which the proohet occasionally interpreted a verse or two of the Qur’an. He didn’t interprete the whole Qur’an. This interpretation was arbitrary, not necessary, otherwise he must have interpreted the whole Qur’an on his own and should have not waited till someone asked for an explanation. Hadith is very helpful in understanding the Qur’an but it is not its prerequisite.
Answer to your second question is, one can appreciate the coherence of the Qur’an by reading its translation. You can read the translation of Ghamidi saheb which is particularly indicates the conherence of the Qur’an. His translation is available both in book form and online.

Sir what do you mean by “established history”? What are it’s sources?
-
Established history means the historical events narrated with consensus and there is no question on their occurrence.

Like how the acts in Salah, Fasting and hajj were transmitted??
