Imam Khomeini`s Quranic Interpretation and Hermeneutics

author

Abstract:

The words commentary and hermeneutics have been of different meanings for commentators. In the past, they were used interchangeably but in the present, the former means discovering the meaning of words or Divine goal and the latter using the word contrary to its appear meaning or understanding its inner meaning. Unlike these two groups, Imam Khomeini has considered interpretation as discovering the ultimate goal of God from Quranic statements and so has been taken the aim of hermeneutics by hm. Therefore, Quran’s enjoyment of inner meanings, the possibility to achieve them, having a holistic view on the material and spiritual aspects and coordination of superficial and interpretive meanings are among Imam Khomeini’s assumptions for understanding God’s words. In addition, relying on Ahl-e Bayt’s traditions, attempting to achieve inner purity and self-purification as well as using comparative hermeneutics to present the self to mystical messages of the verses are among the methodical features of Imam Khomeini regarding interpretation of the verses.
