Returning to the Quran is one of the social theories of Islamic thinkers that has been proposed in the last two centuries to get rid of the decline and backwardness of Islamic societies. To create such a movement at the level of Islamic society, we need solutions that can be used to return to the Quran in its true sense. The supreme leader of the Islamic revolution in the contemporary era, as one of the leaders of this awakening movement, has recommended scientific solutions to return to the Quran, and paying attention to such solutions will be effective in the development of the Quranic culture and will lead to a return to the Quran at the community level. The Research method in this article is descriptive-analytical and with a historical approach using library documents. The results of the Research indicate: that the solutions of the Supreme Leader for this purpose are: providing a correct and comprehensive interpretation of the Quran, creating disciplines to enter the field of social interpretation of the Quran, Islamizing humanities based on Quranic principles, creating the necessary platforms for theorizing Quranic in humanities and creating Quranic education

One of the obstacles to understanding and practicing the teachings of the Quran is to be far from this divine book as the several strategies have been put forward by the Islamic scholars and by practicing these strategies, returning back to Quran will be happened in its real meaning. Cognition of the Quran and realizing its humanizing teachings is the desire of every monotheistic believer. From the point of view of narrations, familiarity with the Quran is one of the ways in which the cognition of the Quran can be achieved as widely as possible. The Supreme Leader of the Revolution has placed great emphasis on getting acquaintance with the Quran in presenting solutions for returning to the Quran, and has considered one of the most important ways to return to the Quran to get acquaintance with the divine word. Using descriptive-analytical method and using library resources, this research seeks to provide solutions for familiarity with the Quran in the thought of the Supreme Leader. The results of the research indicate that His Holiness’s strategies for learning the Quran are: reciting the Quran, looking at the Quran, listening to the Quran, memorizing the Quran, translating the Quran, contemplating the Quran, being the addressee of the Quran, practicing the Quran and benefiting from the guidance of the Quran.

When discussing the relationship between science and the Qur’an, some Orientalists believe in compatibility between these two. In their discussions of natural sciences, Orientalists such as Mourice Bucile, Muhammad Shamir ‘Ali and Professor Kith More have confirmed the compatibility of the Qur’an and science. Through examination of the Orientalists’ views on the relationship between science and the Qur’an and in particular, after reviewing issues such as cosmology, astronomy, biology and medical science we reach the conclusion that the Qur’an’s stance in all these aforementioned sciences is the same as the sciences. The Orientalists’ views on issues such as the beginning of creation, the plurality of the heavens and the earth, the expansion of the universe, the movements of the sun, the quality of the light of the sun and moon, death of sun, the reproductive role of clouds, water being the origin of life, the general parity of every existence, and creation of human beings by a small amount of liquid imply that there is compatibility between the Qur’an and Science. However, with regard to the issue of gamete, which refers to the female reproductive liquid, the orientalists’ view does not look proper. Their interpretation does not fit the criteria of scientific interpretation and causes the science-based interpretation of the Quran to become extreme.

Some of the schoalars under the discussion of Sciene and Religion are of the opion that there is is a divergence and separation between science and religion. Scholars like Kant, Wittgenstein, Walter Stacy and Shlayr Makhr have given their opinion with a different approach in this realm.Among Orientalists too the view of the divergence of religion and science has supporters and one of the leading figure of that is Professor Ahmad Dalal. He, in his introduction to the Science and religion of Leiden encyclopeadia, defending this view tries to substantiate this diveregence and separation of science and religion. Ahmad Dalal with reference to incomplete history of scientific exegesis of the Qur’an has ignored the glorious scientific discussions of the scientific exegesis of the Qur’an and in fact, he with presumption to the divergence and separation of science and religion imposes the views and statements of exegetes and Islamic scholars on this issue. Similarly, by mixing certain discussion he lead to believe in the divergence and separation of the Qur’an and science. This view of Ahmad Dalal faces fundamental criticism that can be countered with a critical review of his conclusion. In short, the fundamental point of the article is that the principle of separation of the Qur’an and science does not contain any logical and enlightened substantiation.
