Abstract:
    
The sacred book of Mathnavi Ma’navi, due to its numerous inclusions in God’s word as well as those of prophets and also hermeneutics interpretations (ta’wil) and explanations of those words for common and elites people, has turned into a collection of pure and exceptional knowledge. These ta’wils and interpretations, having mainly moral-mystical aspects, have given Mathnavi Spiritual style and made it like the mystics’ interpretive books such as Hakayek Al-Tafsir, Kashf Al-Asrar, latayef, Al-Esharat. Nevertheless. However, Molana is considered as those condemned Ta’wil and its adherents as far as Mathnavi is concerned and perhaps his opposition with Ta’wil at first sight seems to be more outstanding and remarkable and at the same time stranger. The writer of this essay has tried to clarify different types of Ta’wil via classifying them from Molavi’s view point into unacceptable and acceptable ones in order to explain this issue and solve this paradoxical point while considering some of the general points upon ta’wil in Mathnavi and explained some lexical definitions and expressions of lexical and interpretive works. To sum it up, taking these points in mind, it is proved the correctness and incorrectness as well as its goodness and badness are relative as far as Molavi’s view see it and it depends on the type of ta’wil, the person who does ta’wil and his/her goals and aims with for ta’wil of the text.
