ديدگاه ملاصدرا پيرامون نامها و صفات قرآن

Mulla Sadraʹs View Concerning the Names and Attributes of the Quran

The starting point for studies on the revealed books has always been a discussion on their names and attributes. Although some of these books such as the Torah and the Bible had specific titles from the very beginning, others have been generally referred to as Tablets or Books. However, concerning the Holy Quran, we should say that in spite of all the attention and efforts of Islamic researchers, some say that it is not quite clear what the collection of the Divine Revelations was called at the time of the Holy Prophet. Contrary to the common tradition among the scholars of Quranic sciences, Mulla Sadra believes that the Quran has numerous names and attributes, each of which referring to a level of the reality of the Quran. Although the Quran enjoys a single reality, it has various levels and stations, and these names have been chosen for referring to them. Therefore, for each particular level or station there is a specific name. The key to getting familiar with and developing a fondness for the reality of the Quran is to purify the heart and create existential homogeneity with it. In order to be successful in this regard, one should have Godʹs love and seek help from Godʹs favorites, like Ahl al-bayt.
