Abstract
The present article investigates Mulla Sadra's point of view regarding the extra-terrestrial trees mentioned in the Holy Quran and explains, analyzes and evaluates his principles in this field with a descriptive-analytical method. "Zaytoune Tree", "Sedra Al-Muntaha", "Tuba", "Shajarah Tayyaba", "Zakum" and "Forbidden Tree" in the Quran refer to extraterrestrial facts and matters, and it is important to determine their meaning and existential position in the arc of descent and ascent. Mulla Sadra has interpreted them with his own ontological, anthropological, cognitive, linguistic and verbal foundations. Knowing the reality as two-level and the correspondence of their levels with the levels of human reality, knowledge, the Qur'an, as well as the adoption of a multi-source method in the interpretation and allegorization of religious texts, gives him the possibility to sum up the meanings of the interpretations and give various interpretations about these trees. However, it is possible that the application of religious and mystical principles with the Qur'anic indications be considered a type of free interpretation and passing through the pure interpretation.
