The Language of Quran from the Viewpoint of Rumi

The language of religion is among topics of the philosophy of religion and its origin is the critical thought of the western world thinkers on sacred texts that led to advent of the language of Quran through its entry to Islamic world. Considering the entrance of this critical viewpoint to Islamic societies and the Quran, discussion about the truth of language of Quran and the views of Islamic thinkers in this field become significant.
In this article, after designing basic questions about language of Quran and examining its components in the works of Rumi, it becomes clear that language of Quran is, from his point of view, a “combinatory, meaningful, cognitive and normative language”; though in some of his epistemological interpretations, he has a deconstructive approach. Rumi describes the Quranic words as created words for general meanings; hence, using the theory of spirit of meaning, he explains similar verses of Quran and by extending this theory to other verses, he develops the meanings and examples of Quranic verses.
