Abstract

The language of religion is one of the newly emerging terms in Western studies, which is used with the aim of deciphering the difficult and complex expressions of the holy books.

This term, like other new scientific issues, has made Muslim thinkers to think about a new issue called the language of the Qur'an

Two factors form the basis of the opinions of these researchers, one is the apparent similarity of the words of the Qur'an with the Arabic language and the other is the basis of their belief in monotheism.

This article analyzes the opinions of two contemporary Shia scholars, namely Allameh Tabatabaei and Mirza Mahdi Esfahani regarding the universal understanding of the Qur'an, has looked at the verses with an inductive view and expressed the difference between them and the conventional understanding.

and finally, based on the verses and narrations in the field of knowledge, he has presented a new definition of the language of the Qur'an, according to this view, understanding the language of the Qur'an is an innate gift of the side of the Almighty God, which like the principle of knowledge, is not from the perception, but from the finding and conscience, is not definable but understandable.

As in the light of authentic monotheistic teachings, the correct understanding of the nature of God's language in the Holy Quran is based on the purity of the inner essence of man. And everyone can understand the language of the Qur'an with his own language
