Abstract
The question that this research answer is, what method for understanding has been expressed in the holy text of the Holy Quran? By applying verse-by-verse interpretation, all the verses related to Quranic understanding are extrapolated, and after analyzing the interpretations of the verses and categorizing the concepts deduced from them, a model of Quranic understanding has been presented. That model is the Qur'anic understanding at the intersection of theoretical and practical reason. Quranic understanding is fully understood when its effects cover all aspects of the human soul. In this regard, the goal of the Quranic warning is to produce fear in the human soul, and with the guidance of his free will, it provides a criterion for understanding the possible meanings and interpretations of the Quranic verses. Of course, the plurality of personal interpretations will not lead to confusion in understanding because those interpretations are in levels that do not contradict each other.
