Imam Khomeini, the leader of contemporary Muslim world says the Holy Quran itself is firm evidence to the truth of this divine book which introduces itself.
He mentions that if anybody wants to know the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his household) should learn and know the Holy Quran.
In the views of Imam Khomeini the Holy Quran is a divine book which fulfils all the needs of humanity and has taken into consideration all the aspects of this world and the ever-lasting world hereafter and have programs for all these aspects.
Imam Khomeini stresses that deep pondering in the teachings of the Holy Quran has been insisted in the teachings of this divine book.
Most of the books of Imam Khomeini on gnosis expound this characteristic of the Holy Quran that this divine book trains human beings.
In the views of Imam Khomeini one of the important goals of the Holy Quran is to establish a government based on justice in the world.
According to Imam Khomeini, the Holy Quran has not only a heart, but also many hearts and these hearts are quite interwoven and interrelated with the words of the Holy Quran.
Therefore, everybody according to its capacity and potential can be bestowed from divine words and verses. Although Imam Khomeini considers the complete understanding of the Holy Quran exclusive to the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his household) and the Twelve Infallible Imams but he never stated that self-purified men cannot understand it.
He believed that the Holy Quran was the Book of Guidance and replete with sage, spiritual and mystic orders and instructions.
The Holy Quran is the basis of Islamic sciences and the everlasting miracle of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his household).
Thus, I do believe that more we move toward the approaches of Imam Khomeini we will be successful in creating more dynamic and innovative Islamic seminaries.
