Abstract

Imam Ali as the Imam of the interpreters is one of the greatest and foremost great commentators of the Holy Qur'an. Many narrations about the Holy Qur'an and the interpretation of verses from Imam Ali have been narrated in narrative and interpretive sources, including the valuable interpretation of Noor al-Thaqalain. Given the multiplicity of these narrations, the question arises as to whether all of these narrations are the same or different types. Through examining the interpretive narrations narrated from Imam Ali, it becomes clear that the narrations of that Imam about the verses of the Qur'an are of different types and various functions can be seen in the interpretive narrations of the Imam. Considering the types of interpretive narrations of Imam Ali has a significant role in facilitating and increasing the use of these narrations in understanding the content and meanings of the verses of the Holy Quran. Rather, in some cases, not paying attention to the differences in types and functions in interpretive narrations leads to misunderstanding and misinterpretation of Qur'anic verses. What has been achieved by the descriptive-analytical method of examining the types of narrations of Imam Ali's interpretation with emphasis on Noor al-Thaqalain interpretation include illustrating the space of revelation, verbal clarification, conceptual clarification, rational interpretation, jurisprudential interpretation, scientific and experimental interpretation, practical interpretation, allegorical interpretation, interpretation of Mutashabih verses, explanation of allusions, event interpretation, interpretation of Qur'an to Qur'an.
