Allamah Tabatabaii's Innovation in Solving the Problem of Spirit in the Quran by Using the Verse of " Treasuries"

Spirit and its relationship with other related Quranic concepts such as Holy Spirit, Faithful Spirit and Our Spirit is one of the controversial issues among interpreters. However, the common feature of this kind of theories is that they do not provide a systematic technique to explain spirit and lack a proper conclusion about the concepts related to spirit. Using a descriptive-analytical method, the present paper elaborates on Allamah Tabatabaii’s theory about spirit in the Quran. Using a systematic interpretation, he sums up the verses related to spirit. In this regard, he starts with a different and precise explanation about the verse of “Treasuries” (15:21) and successfully explains spirit and its related concepts in the Quran. According to his view and with regard to the verse of “Treasuries”, spirit is a reality with analogically predicated of degrees and its related concepts such as man’s soul (spirit) and its different degrees and stages are a single reality.
