The Holy Qur'an is a divine revelation to guide man to the straight path. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) is the first preacher, commentator and exponent of the Holy Qur'an. His biography shows the right way for people to interact and communicate with the Holy Qur'an. After that, according to the hadith of Thaqalain, the only ones who were qualified to explain and interpret the Qur'an were the Ahl al-Bayt (AS). Therefore, only the Holy Prophet and the Imams (AS) can teach Muslims the correct way to communicate and benefit from the Holy Qur'an. In the school of Ahl al-Bayt, in addition to emphasizes the outward etiquette of communicating with the Qur'an, such as performing ablutions, brushing one's teeth before reciting, looking at the Holy Qur'an, being silent while reciting, reciting with a sad voice, reciting in recitation, reciting prayers, and so on. Prior to recitation, great emphasis has been placed on the esoteric etiquette of communication; Etiquettes such as contemplation in the verses of the Holy Qur'an, having sincerity in recitation, expressing humility and tenderness of heart while reciting, making oneself the addressee of the word of revelation and considering oneself the addressee of God's commands and prohibitions. Emphasis on esoteric etiquette of communication in the school of Ahl al-Bayt has a much higher status and its main distinguishing feature from other schools; Because in this case, an effective and constructive human relationship is established with the Qur'an, and not merely emphasizing the apparent etiquette of reciting the Holy Qur'an. The main purpose of this article is to show the difference between the positive and effective interaction of the school of Imams (AS) from other schools in esoteric affairs.
