Abstract

Although all of Mulla Sadra's work indicate a solid relationship between the Qur'an and demonstration, his interpretation of the Qur'an from among his other books enjoys a particular advantage in his Qur'anic approach. This paper examines the way Sadrian philosophy interprets the Qur'an. Deliberation over the meeting points of interpretation and philosophy, as the distinctive feature of his interpretation from those of others, can reveal the effect of philosophy on interpretation to us.Mulla Sadra believes that explicit narration and complete unveiling are the two fundamental bases of interpretation. Accordingly, he favors neither inflexibility in words nor neglecting it. Rather, he maintains that one should cautiously observe the realities and the interior of meanings. In this paper, the writer has also referred to the principles of the Transcendent Philosophy and the quality of their use in the interpretation of the Qur'an. Mulla Sadra's approach to the Oneness of Godly Light and lack of passivity in the divine mercy and evil forms is based on the principiality and gradation of existence. In the trans-substantial motion, issues such as resurrection and change of species are analyzed. In his view, human beings are divided into different types based on the trans-substantial motion. The meaning of path, cause of death, referring to God, and the secret of immortality in Hell are among the issues propounded on the basis of this motion. Mulla Sadra maintains that the soul is the product of the trans-substantial motion of the body. Considering the abilities of the soul, the number of the doors of Heaven and Hell, the number of the angels of Hell, and the criterion for punishing acts develop a specific justification.
