Journal Title: Eskiyeni - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 27

Abstract

This article examines a narration which tells us that the divine word has a reality about the geography of meaning and focuses upon this riwayah which called as hadith in some books and reviews the tafsir ishari and the thoughts of Muslim philosopher Mulla Sadra in this regard. In the riwayah, it is said that the Qoran have a zaher (literal), a batin (symbolic), a hadd (prescriptive) and a matla’(anagogical). And it has been controversial among the Muslim scholars and philosophers. It is an Islamic source of various classifications such as theological, philosophical, jurisprudential and mystical. This riwayah has an important position to understand the tafsir ishari or sufi tafsir. The interpretations of Mulla Sadra about this hadith are instructive.
