"One of the fundamental challenges in the interpretation of the Quran is the issue of the 'absoluteness or relativity of understanding.' The main question is whether it is possible to achieve an absolute understanding, free from the interpreter's presuppositions, or not. This research, employing an analytical-argumentative approach and a library-based method, examines the possibility of attaining an absolute understanding of the Quran. The goal is to lay the groundwork for adjudicating between different interpretations of the Quran and benefiting from its guidance by proving the possibility of accessing the divine intent. The findings indicate that based on evidence such as the determined meaning of words due to linguistic convention (waḍʿ), the principled nature of understanding, the possibility of certain knowledge, and the guiding purpose of the Quran, an absolute understanding is possible. Verses that emphasize contemplation (tadabbur) and challenge (taḥaddī), as well as traditions prohibiting interpretation based on personal opinion (tafsīr bi al-raʾy), also support this view. Consequently, the meaning of the text is fixed and determined, and different understandings can be judged based on the criterion of achieving this final meaning. This foundation plays a fundamental role in validating interpretations and preventing unprincipled readings of the Quran.
