The issue of the exterior and interior of the Holy Qur'an has been and still is the subject of Muslim opinion from the time of the Holy Prophet until now. Considering this point, many hadiths have been issued from the words of the Holy Prophet, Hazrat Amir, and other Imams (AS) in this regard. These hadiths are frequent or at least Mostafīz (diffused), such as the noble prophetic hadith «ان للقرآن ظهراً و بطنا و لبطنه بطنا الی سبعة أبطن» "Ennal Qur'an Zahran, wa Batna, wa Labatna Batna, ela Sabah Abtn" which was narrated through al-Furiqin. Maulavi spoke in detail about this hadith in Masnavi, which we have quoted in the text of the article. He said at the beginning of his speech: Know the words of the Qur'an, which are external/below the external, the interior is just Cairo. Many verses also express the exterior and interior of the Holy Quran. As in the verse "Indeed is the Holy Qur'an, in a hidden book, it is not touched except by the pure" (Waqeeh/77-79). In this article, firstly by referring to the verses and narrations and the sayings of famous Islamic mystics and philosophers, the interior and different levels of the Holy Quran have been proven, then the quality of the relationship between the exterior and interior of the Quran has been discussed.

The promised issue and determining its place in the subject of Mahdism is a divine tradition which is stated in Islamic teachings. In this regard, the news and narrations related to Imam Ali (AS) have a special place. This research seeks to answer the following question: What is the necessity of Mahdism and its nature in the news related to Imam Ali (AS)? This is especially true because it seems that the Conduct of Imam Mahdi (AS) is a comprehensive and ideal example that Imam Ali (AS) aimed to realize. Therefore, there is a direct relationship between Mahdavi's world rule and Imam Ali (AS). The results of this research indicate that in the news of Imam Ali (as), Mahdism is one of the most important revelation teachings and learning about it is the duty of religious faith. According to this, Imam Mahdi (AS) is one of the sons of Imam Ali (AS) and Ahlul Bayt (AS) and as the Imam and the divine caliph, he has the status of "Welayat". Also, Mahdism, in all its dimensions, is directly related to the will of God and issues such as "birth", "absence" and "emergence" and "expectation" and so on, are related to God's knowledge and power. Imam Ali (as), by designing Mahdiism, considers the only way of approaching God and prosperity to be monotheistic thinking which entails " Welayat " as its terms and conditions. Therefore, all human beings are invited to follow the Imam Mahdi (AS), and it instructs everyone to deal with the allegations made by the enemies on the promised issue of Mahdiism.

The importance of the discussion regarding the essence of Quran arises primarily from the fact that part of the meanings and teachings of Quran are related to the essence of verses, and, also, the eternity of Quran has a collateral relationship with its essence. The essence of Quran can be studied from different aspects, though the first step in this regard is to understand the nature of Quran’s essence; an action which not only is efficient in understanding the range and levels of Quran’s essence but also plays an important role in understanding a correct way to interpret Quran and deal correctly with interpretive narrations. In different eras, scholars in various fields of Islamic sciences have proposed different definitions for the essence of Quran, but it can be derived from hadiths that this essence is both the concealed meanings of the verses and the teachings which cannot be initially understood. The present paper aims to investigate the conceptology of the essence of Quran based on narrations. As a result of this research, it can be concluded that the essence of Quran in narrations has been proposed in three forms: the evidence of verses, different meanings concealed from the words of verses and the deep meanings of Quran.

Islamc, besides its appearance, has internal, essential decrees, and sharia, though it is a knowledge of appearance, does not hinder the acquisition of internal knowledge such as doctrine and truth, as the relationship between appearance and the essence is a real relationship, not an artificial and contrived one. The essence guides and nourishes apparent actions, just as faith requires the internal actions of the heart, and intent is the spirit and origin of all actions. Seyyed Heidar Amoli has demonstrated that Sharia and its five ancillaries, namely, Prayer, Fasting, Hajj, Zakat and Jihad fall within three categories of Sharia, Doctrine and Truth. He, like other mystics such as Raseed ol-din Meibodi in Kashf ol-Asrar or Abu Saeed Abu al-Kheir, in proving this link uses this hadith from Prophet Muhammad, “Sharia is my saying, Doctrine is my actions and Truth is my Status.” As a result, mystics consider as one of the principles of conduct the harmony of the mystic’s conduct with the Quran and the hadiths.
