چکیده:
From the perspective of most Muslims, the Holy Quran is considered the most important source for knowing Islamic rulings and teachings. However, there is disagreement among them regarding how to understand this divine word, and various Muslim sects and groups have approached it with their own specific attitudes and perspectives, striving to grasp its meanings. In this regard, Sufis, with a viewpoint different from the Ahl al-Hadith, jurists, and Islamic theologians, have sought to understand and interpret the Quran, considering the inward (batini) method as the correct way to understand the Quran and viewing other interpretive methods as less beneficial. On the other hand, the Ahl al-Hadith and jurists have deemed the Sufi method of understanding the Quran as an innovation and improper. In the present article, the foundations of Sufis and mystics, as well as the position of their opponents regarding the understanding and interpretation of the Quran, are examined.

). Ghazali says that anyone who thinks that truth (Haqiqat) contradicts the Sharia, or that the esoteric (Batin) is incompatible with the exoteric (Zahir), is closer to disbelief than to faith; rather, the esoteric (or truth) consists of secrets whose understanding is exclusive to those near to God (al-Muqarrabun), and most people do not share in this, nor do they possess any benefit from this knowledge of the heart.
243) Most Sufis consider exoteric interpretation insufficient for understanding the truth of religion, and they have described adhering strictly to the literal meaning and the transmitted translation of the verses as a cause for deprivation and being void of the reality of the Quran.
