Abstract

One of the obstacles to understanding and practicing the teachings of the Quran is to be far from this divine book as the several strategies have been put forward by the Islamic scholars and by practicing these strategies, returning back to Quran will be happened in its real meaning. Cognition of the Quran and realizing its humanizing teachings is the desire of every monotheistic believer. From the point of view of narrations, familiarity with the Quran is one of the ways in which the cognition of the Quran can be achieved as widely as possible. The Supreme Leader of the Revolution has placed great emphasis on getting acquaintance with the Quran in presenting solutions for returning to the Quran, and has considered one of the most important ways to return to the Quran to get acquaintance with the divine word. Using descriptive-analytical method and using library resources, this research seeks to provide solutions for familiarity with the Quran in the thought of the Supreme Leader. The results of the research indicate that His Holiness’s strategies for learning the Quran are: reciting the Quran, looking at the Quran, listening to the Quran, memorizing the Quran, translating the Quran, contemplating the Quran, being the addressee of the Quran, practicing the Quran and benefiting from the guidance of the Quran.
