Abstract

This treatise aims to give a definitive answer to the major
question: ‘How to achieve an in-depth understanding of
the Qur’an?’ It uses the inductive method and examines
the relevant heritage in an attempt to identify a proper
method and a clear way, in an attempt to add to what our
predecessors did so as to continue the creative process
that aims to achieve a better understanding of the Qur’an.
This treatise aims to define certain methods of meditation
that enable the reciter of the Qur’an and its students to gain
a better understanding of it. It will help scholars and the
public at large in their approach to the Qur’an to understand
its message and infinite wisdom. The treatise starts by
explaining the concept of in-depth understanding and
how it is different from other terms that are close to it in
meaning, such as commentary, contemplation, consideration,
deduction, etc. It briefly explains the importance of
understanding the Qur’an, its status, conditions, types,


benefits, how to achieve it, and what prevents it. It goes
on to explain in a little more detail some methodologies
of achieving a good understanding of the Qur’an, and
concludes by mentioning the most common mistakes in the
process of meditation over the Qur’an.
