چکیده

The present study conducts an ontological study of the Quran, explaining its existential layers in the Divine Realm, also known as the World of God or the World of Necessity, and the Created Realm, also known as the World of Being or the World of Contingency. Based on the views of mystics and Quranic verses, it explains the existential ranks of the Quran and its specific names. The importance of this issue lies in proving the single, multi-ranked existence of the Quran and demonstrating that the Quran is present at every stage of existence, from the World of God to the World of Creation, each with a specific station and name. Through a comparative study of these ranks with Quranic verses, this article concludes that the Quran, as divine knowledge in the form of divine speech, saying, book, and both creative and written words, is present in an integrated manner at every rank of existence, accompanying the Perfect Human. A key finding of this article is that the ontological ranks of the Quran are sometimes expressed with a specific name in the Quran, such as Umm al-Kitāb (The Mother of the Book), Kitāb Mubīn (The Clear Book), and Nūr (Light), each pointing to a specific rank of the Quran's existence. In some cases, there is no specific name for a particular existential rank of the Quran in the verses, but the rank is referenced. For example, it is stated that the Quran was sent down from the rank of the name Allāh or the names al-Raḥmān or al-Ḥayy. This paper was written using a hybrid research method (textual-argumentative) and based on library and software data collection. It is an attempt to, for the first time in a coherent study, use mystical sources and Quranic verses to articulate the specific name of the Divine Book at each existential rank or at least the name of its existential rank.

چکیده [English]

The present article was written by adopting a combined research method (narrative-argumentative) and descriptive-analytical data processing based on the collection of a software library; and it discussed the existential levels of the Quran; and explained the ontological layers of the Quran in the words of Saqa al-Rububi and Saqa al-Khalqi based on the mystical perspective; then, by comparative study of these levels with the verses; it came to the conclusion that the Quran as divine knowledge in the form of speech, word, book, and creative and regulatory words is present at every level of the levels of existence, an integrated presence and in the company of a perfect human being. Accordingly, the ontological levels of the Quran are sometimes expressed in the Quran with a specific name; including: Umm al-Kitab, Kitab Mubin, Noor. In some cases, a specific name for the existential level of the Quran is not stated in the verses, but that level is referred to; for example, it is stated that the Quran was revealed from the level of the Name of Allah or the Name of the Most Gracious or the Living. In this article, an attempt has been made to express for the first time, in the form of a coherent research using mystical sources and verses of the Quran, the specific name of the divine book in each existential level or the name of its existential level.
