Ta’wil svetog teksta i Ta’wil duše prema hermeneutičkom obrascu ‘Alauddawla Simnanija
Ta’wil of Sacred Text and Ta’wil of the Soul According to the Hermeneutic Pattern of Ala al-Dawlah Simnānī

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to present the key elements of the hermeneutic paradigm of interpretation of sacred text buy the famous 14th century Muslim metaphysicist, Sufi and philosopher, Ala al-Dawlah Simnānī, entitled Seven Prophets of Your Being. The paper sheds some light on two key issues related to it. The first is the fact that Simnānī does not keep the hermeneutic act of the Ta’wil only on the level of cognitive and theoretical thinking. Instead, he translates it into practical acts of the human soul, where it happens in full, in form of ‘Ta’wil of the human soul’. The second important issue related to this text is related in the fact that Seven Prophets of Your Being express the spiritual states entered or occupied by any expert in spiritual hermeneutics on one hand, and on the other, the Seven Prophets of Your Being symbolise the stages of our personal cognition in our hermeneutic delving into the Text.
