Abstract :
Islamic Theosophy is closely and inseparably related with Koran and Hadith. Koran is the precious and methodical guideline for mankind. Koran not only has instructions regarding religious tasks and rituals but also has a rich and artistic literature. It has all features of a true art work both in its structure and in content. Sufis have found some pretexts both in Koran and in Hadith, based on which they tend to prove that there is a string that makes a link between the almighty God and the mortal human.And since generally the sayings are mystical, strange and coded, they believe that Koran means more than what it is seemed at the surface and the true meanings are covert, spiritual and deep and cannot be understood deeply unless through intuition or revelation. Such an attitude justifies a commentary approach to Koran. Due to vastness of Koranic concepts and Hadith, and for the link they have with theosophical thoughts, this essay attempts to brieflystudythis linkage and to manifest Sufis’ commentary approach to Koran and Hadith.
