Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The verses of the Holy Quran, as the foundations of Islamic thought and civilization, have always been the basis for various interpretative readings. Mystical thought has moved beyond jurisprudential and theological implications in accordance with the apparent meaning of the verses and has turned to the mystical and intuitive realm. The hermeneutical-mystical view of Ayn al-Qudāt al-Hamdānī in her letters is a prime example of this interpretive approach. The fundamental issue of this research is to examine the inconsistencies and contradictions that arise from the contrast between the formal and jurisprudential understanding of the verses of the Quran and the mystical interpretation of the Ayn al-Quds.
METHODOLOGY: The methodology of this research is qualitative analysis with a structural analysis approach to texts. The statistical population of this study includes all verses that have been interpreted and interpreted with a mystical approach in the three-volume letters of Ayn al-Qadat.
FINDINGS: The research findings show that Ayn al-Qadat consciously excludes the jurisprudential and historical implications of the Quran from the scope of her interpretative examples. In her mystical view, the general addresses of the Quran are limited to the characteristics of saints, and historical stories are considered symbols of inner states.
CONCLUSION: On this basis, the inconsistencies and contradictions between Ayn al-Qadat"s interpretation of verses and popular interpretations cannot be considered as the result of heresy, but rather, these cases are based on a coherent analytical model in mystical thought that can be analyzed.
