Quran in the Quranic Thought of Imam Khomeini

Imam Khomeini, the great revivalist of the 20th century, explained his viewpoints about the status and grandeur of the Quran in his works and speeches. He believed in the comprehensiveness of the Quran, miraculous nature of the Quran regarding its teachings and contents, widespread audience, relationship between the Quran, traditions and supplications, insufficient attention by Muslims to the Quran and other features. Imam Khomeini maintained that the Quran has different semiotic levels and that the deepest semiotic levels are accessible to or comprehendible only by the Infallible Household of the Holy Prophet of Islam.
