Abstract

Qur‛an is societies of words, jawame ul-kalim, and its addressees include human beings that their existential capacities have not the same. To acquire of Qur‛anic doctrines and its esoteric meanings, plain and conscience purification is needed. Seyyed Jalal Ashtiani attempt to explain relation between the existential grads of human beings and esoteric layers of Qur‛an, and to display the role of purification in congruity of them. In this paper, we consider various works of Ashtiani to manifest the relationship between human and Qur‛an that based upon Sadrian rule that is species multiplicity (kasrat al no’iya). In this path we consider view point of Islamic contemporary philosopher. Then we analyze status of human (stages of the heart) along with its esoteric meaning. Ashtiani maintain that the levels of the heart are seven and entering to higher level is provided to purification of lower level. Therefore seventh stage is peculiar to the perfect man.
