Abstract :

Alaa al-Dawlah Semnani, one of the mystic commentators of the Quran, mentions various functions for interpretation and interpretation in his prose works while using verses and traditions. He disagrees with the interpretation of similar verses; But it agrees with other verses. Unlike most commentators, he believes that dreams need interpretation and interpretation, and he uses interpretation and interpretation in the fields of principles and branches of religion, mystical revelations, letters, verses and traditions. He considers taweel to be a way to not excommunicate Muslims, to absorb different views in the Islamic religion, not to fall into the abyss of reincarnation, and to interpret mystical revelations. According to him, the measure of correctness of taweel and tafsir is conformity with Quran, hadith, reality, Arabic language and reason. One of the characteristics of his interpretation is its superficiality, lack of extraneous elements, the presence of theology, similarity and influence of Ibn Arabi's interpretation and his commentators. This research, using a descriptive-analytical method, seeks to analyze the place of interpretation and interpretation in the eyes of this mystic.
