Sayyid Mohammad Baqir Sadr is amongst those few Muslim thinkers theorizing on thematic exegesis of Holy Quran. The fundamental concept of his theory is Istintaq that means to ask Holy Quran new questions and to get suitable responses from it. Due to Sadr's summary theory on one hand and the efficiency of this theory on the other hand, the elaborating on this theory is essential. The similarity between dialogue model in Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics and Istintaq model in Sadr's theory paves the way for reviewing of Sadr's theory and illuminating the hidden aspects of it through asymmetric comparative study. This study can make clear some components in Sadr's theory like the dialogue between interpreter and Holy Quran, the various layers of the meaning of Quran, the different layers of exegete's understandings, to raise questions based upon new needs and to receive suitable replies. In addition to illuminating the hidden aspects of Sadr's theory, this essay also emphasizes the importance of thematic exegesis besides running one.
