Imam wants believers to discover real purpose of revelation of Qur'an

Scholars have undertaken serious efforts to discover Imam Khomeini's method of Quranic interpretation.

 Since the knowledge of the methods and foundations of interpretation of each author depends on his attitude towards the Qur'an, for this reason, in the second chapter, special attention was paid to the position and statues of the holy Qur'an according to the thought of Imam Khomeini, and this discussion was explored from various dimensions.

 These issues are discussed in the philosophical and mystical dimensions of God's conversation with man.

Also, Imam's descriptions of the characteristics of revelation, the purpose of the revelation of the Qur'an, the necessity of returning to the Qur'an, the comprehensiveness of this holy book, the manners of recitation, the obstacles to using the Qur'an, the protection of the Qur'an from distortion, and pointing to parts of the Qur'an that are very important in understanding his attitude towards the divine book, such as divine authenticity of the semantic miracle of the scripture. 

The philosophy of repetitions of some issue by the holy books and most importantly the language of the Qur'an was examined.

Undoubtedly, before formulating Imam Khomeini's interpretation method, it was necessary to give a clear and comprehensive definition of the subject and to recount the terms of this knowledge.

 This is not in the sense that these contents are presented independently, but in such a way that the words of interpretation are explained in his view, thus in the third chapter, Imam Khomeini's general thought in interpretation is explained and for continuity and connection between the past and the present. 

The evolution of tafsir in the Shia school of thought from the beginning to the era of Imam Khomeini has been discussed and those points that can clarify his attitude have been recounted in this regard, his opinion about the degrees and levels of tafsir.
