Gnostic Principles of the Hermeneutic Interpretation of the Qurʹan in Mulla Sadra

Mulla Sadra presents the principles and bases of his hermeneutic interpretation in harmony with Gnostics. He sees the differences among the worlds of being and their conformities with each other as the secret of the inward aspect of the Qurʹan. In his view, the grades and levels of the world of being are in conformity with each other, and any existent existing in one of the worlds also exists in an acceptable way in the other world. The Qurʹan, which is the perfect manifestation of Divine knowledge, reveals and explains the realities of being that are manifested in the Ievels of being. Therefore, like being, the Holy Qurʹan has a number of inward aspects that are in conformity with the levels of being. As a result, the Qurʹanic terms and propositions enjoy a kind of semantic plurality or polysemy that is rooted in their conforming to the levels of being.
