Abstract

The Holy Quran, intended to educate and guide humanity, contains the most accurate truths and the highest levels of knowledge. It inspires awe in the minds of the learned and compels them to recognize its profound wisdom. The remarkable structure and eloquence of this sacred text not only enhance its significance but also present mystical teachings that surpass human understanding and challenge ordinary experiences. Imam Khomeini (RA) states that those who are knowledgeable in mysticism and possess a solid understanding of it will recognize the Quran's miraculous nature from a mystical viewpoint and appreciate its exceptional essence. He emphasizes that the core of the Quran's miracle resides in its deep and elevated teachings on monotheism and mysticism. With its rich layers of meaning, the Quran unveils divine beauty and majesty, acting as a portal to divine knowledge that can catalyze a significant transformation in the realm of mysticism. The Quran's comprehensive and epic mysticism serves as the foundation for all forms of mysticism, which perceptive individuals may partially comprehend.
