The evolution of imaginary forms in mystical interpretations of the verse of love (verse 54 of Surah Ma'idah)

Atefeh Ahmadi (Author in Charge)

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this article is to study the process of converting the language of phrase into reference and the function of imagination in one of the Quranic verses which has been a forum for discussion, interpretation and interpretation of mystics and Sufis for centuries. Verse 54 of Surah Ma"idah contains verses that mean the good news to the friends of God. In order to study the evolution and transformation of the imaginary in the interpretation of this verse, some interpretations from the fourth century AH to the eighth century were selected, which are: Tafsir Abdul Razzaq Kashani known as Tafsir Ibn Arabi.

METHODOLOGY: These interpretations were examined descriptively-analytically.

FINDINGS: Salma in the facts to express his interpretations, adorns his speech with similes and uses poetic evidence in his interpretation. After that, Qashiri uses many similes in Latif al-Asharat to express his allusions. Meybodi in Discovering the Mysteries offers the most literary interpretation of the verse of love and connects allusive and mystical words with artistic and adorned words to the artistic industries. Roozbehan is at the peak of mystical interpretations, both linguistically and figuratively. In the interpretation of Gharaib Al-Quran, in explaining the verse of love, only a few mystical interpretations are sufficient and there is no obvious point in it from the point of view of linguistic aesthetics. The last interpretation in this research is the interpretations in which attention is paid to the hint interpretation more than the artistic use of language and the turning point of this interpretation is that it deals with the verse of love with a different point of view and expresses hints that are unprecedented until then.

CONCLUSION: The language of these mystics is in allusions. They crossed the usual boundaries of language to express their mystical experiences. The richer their mystical experience, the richer it becomes in their language.
