A Research into the Inward Aspect of the Qur an

Having shed light on the definition of some related terms to the concept of “the inward aspect of the Qur’an”, this paper proposes several traditions from the two Islamic schools to establish the concept. The author has collected the views of both Shiite and Sunnite scholars and then gone to critically assess them. He has also studied whether Qur’an’s inward aspect is understandable for the non-infallible, and if so, on some conditions they may occasionally do so.
