Imam Khomeini, may God have mercy on him, is considered one of the great Shia scholars of the contemporary era and one of the mystical interpreters of the Quran. In this article, we examine Imam Khomeini's interpretive method. It appears that in interpreting the Quran, he employed a 'mystical' method and considered mystical-ethical insights to be the best way to understand the Quran and explain its lofty meanings. In the view of Imam Khomeini, perceiving mystical subtleties (Lata'if) should be the primary goal of every interpretation. By adhering to the mystical method, he caused the expansion of Shia mystical interpretation and increased the attention of Shia scholars toward mystical interpretation.

From Imam Khomeini's perspective, Tafsir bi al-Ra'y is when the interpreter, having formed a prejudice, applies their own opinion and taste to the Quran, which constitutes an abuse of the Quran; ______________________________ 1 Ayat al-Ahkam is a collection of approximately 500 verses from which jurists derive jurisprudential rulings.
