Standard Commentator in Mulla Sadra's Quranology

Islamic scholars, including authorities, theologians, philosophers and mystics, pay attention to the Quran and attempt to interpret it based on their knowledge and expertise and to produce many exegetical works. This difference stems from their different definitions and criteria of correct and standard interpretation. As the founder of the philosophical school of Transcendental Wisdom, Mulla Sadra interprets Quran in the base of the Peripatetic and illumination schools. This article indicates correct interpretation and standard commentator from point of view of Mulla Sadra. According to his Quranology, in the one hand, commentator through rational arguing, and on the other hand, by intuition, connects to God's kingdom and the unseen universe and perceives the meanings of Quranic verses. In his terminology, these are called rational guidance (Hidayah alaqliyya) and illuminative brightness (Lomeye Eshraghiyye). The commentor of Quran by passing from understanding and reasoning and then depending to the talent of opinion and then insisting on that talent, he elevates to supreme talents, which its final degree is sacred talent (Quvveye Qodsiyye). In his view, such as the prophets, commentator too has the ability of gaining sacred talent, provided that he observe the purity of soul, remove veils of soul and transfigure soul with Divine lights. He says that his interpretation is the result of Divine hints to his heart.
