Recognizing the tools and obstacles to attain the inner knowledge of Qur’an is an undeniable necessity. Imam Khomeini (RA) and Allameh Tabātabā’ī (RA) are two thinkers who have paid special attention to this issue. This study, aiming at recognizing the tools and obstacles of comprehension of the Qur’an, from the viewpoint of the two great Qur’an-researchers, tries to provide practical solutions for achieving the depth of the Qur’anic concepts. Imam Khomeini (RA) and Allameh Tabātabā’ī (RA) believe that the comprehension tools are divided into two main categories of intra-textual and extra-textual tools of the Holy Qur’an. Some of the most important tools are as follows: paying attention to Arabic syntax and morphology, compatibility of verses and surahs, conceptual and structural coherence, unique goal of the whole Surah, paying attention to the context, inner purification, companionship with the Qur’an and the scholarly reference to it, and contemplation and attention to interpretive narrations.

"Comprehensiveness of the Holy Qur’an" is a paradigm that has been taken from some Qur’anic phrases and expressions. This paradigm has had different meanings in different periods. "Comprehensiveness of the Qur'an" has been interpreted by some as the existence of all the news of the past and future in the Qur'an or the description of all beings or the inclusion of the Qur'an on all sciences and technologies. Many commentators have considered the comprehensiveness of Qur’an related to the human needs for reaching guidance. This study, by analyzing the evolution of the paradigm of comprehensiveness of the Qur'an, has shown that by proposing the discourse of the identity of religion and politics by Imam Khomeini and the dominance of this discourse in the cultural atmosphere of Iran after the Islamic Revolution; the paradigm according to some commentators has been defined as one of the components of this discourse and means the existence of comprehensive Qur'anic rules, laws and programs.
