Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The world of mystical beliefs is based on the knowledge obtained from vague and internal intuition and sensory experience that conventional knowledge and language are not able to express. A hint of knowledge - not descriptive and inexperienced - that is gained through experience. Since the advent of the Qur"anic sciences and even before that, religious scholars, commentators, theologians, orators, parliamentarians, dervishes and Sufis have been well acquainted with the methods of cryptic expression. The most important indicator of the mystic"s thoughts and beliefs is reflection on language, and for this reason it is of special importance. In Persian, many mystics and Sufis have undertaken mystical interpretation of the Qur"an in order to achieve a deeper and more artistic understanding of God"s word, and during this period, various types of interpretation have been formed, one of which is the mystical interpretation of Kashf al-Asrar Meybodi. In this research, the third time of mystery discovery has been discussed from the perspective of layers and cryptographic networks and layers, and based on Roland Barthes cryptographic pattern in three hermeneutic, semantic and symbolic layers, the mystical features of mystical interpretation of mystery discovery in The third turn is analyzed.

METHODOLOGY: This study was a descriptive-analytical study in the form of library studies.

FINDINGS: In the third turn of Kashfil al-Asrar, Meybodi is a kind of hermeneutic, semantic and symbolic cryptography is an attempt to mystically interpret the verses of the Qur"an.

CONCLUSION: Most of the interpretation of Kashfil al-Asrar in the third turn is allusive and symbolic; In other words, Meybodi in this section tries to explore certain aspects of the message of the word in its underlying layers, which are closely related to literary and coded speech. Meybodi engages with the hidden meanings of the word with the help of various hermeneutic, semantic and symbolic codes.
