Abstract

 One of the important issues of Quranic sciences and interpretation is the issue of "interior", which has been considered in the past, and Ayatollah Javadi Amoli is one of the commentators who has provided an analytical and thought-provoking view on the interior of the Holy Quran. In this article, which has been done by descriptive-analytical method, the nature of the interior of the Qur'an and it validity in the interpretation and the components he has presented have been explained and evaluated. The result of the research shows that he considered the existence of the interior in the verses of the Quran as his interpretive basis and accepted it as one of the interpretive methods of Ahl al-Bayt (AS) and the secret of the immortality of the Quran. The most important characteristics of validity of the interior of Quran according to him include the universality and popularity of understanding Quran, the hierarchical character of the reality of Quran, the permission to use a word in more than one meaning, the differences of capacities in understanding the Quran, the alignment of superficial knowledge with esoteric knowledge and multiplicity of semantic levels. He also considers esoteric purity and recourse to the tradition of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) as a powerful step to achieve the esoteric knowledge of the Quran.
