The Qur'anic signification is the signification obtained from the content of the Qur'anic verses, or the knowledge of the legally competent for the sake of which the signification is given to the signifier. Thus, the required provision is considered to be based on the proof set in order to ensure access to the correct meaning and away from the corruption of its opposite by proof, as it ensures the right path of science. Hence, it has been determined, my God be the Arbiter of my success, to study the Qur'anic signification of Ibn Shahrashub for he was among the foremost scholars of Twelve Imamism. That he authored great works is indicative of his prominence in the sciences of the Holy Quran. To this end, the researcher endeavored to pick a route through which he can extract the Qur’anic views of Ibn Shahrashub on explicating and directing the semantics of words, and then to balance them in such a way that paves for acceptance or rejection or weighting and argument-topics that have been reflected in the overall works of Ibn Shahrashob. Based on this perception, the research plan along with its contents was distributed to the study of Ibn Shahrashub’s works and the presentation of those indications that resulted thereof. The research was divided into three Chapters preceded by Preface and followed by Conclusion and a glossary of sources and references. Preface was devoted to the discussion of the Qur'anic signification in approaching between the concept and the term, with a brief introduction to the Sheikh Ibn Shahrashub Al-Mazandrani. Chapter I, entitled "Mental A prioris and its Impact on the Revelation of Signification," contained four topics: "The Mind: It’s Concept, Functions and Provisions," "The Epistemological Tributaries of Ibn Shahrashub," "The Mental Reasoning," and "Ibn Shahrashub's Approach to Summoning Intellectual Evidence. "Chapter II, entitled "Guidelines of Qur'anic Signification and its Mechanisms," is presented in three topics: "The Interpretive Guideline," "The Hermeneutic Guideline" and “The Contextual Guidelines." As for Chapter III, it was entitled, "The levels of Semantic Analysis in Single and Compound word.” It came in four topics: "The True Signification", "The Metaphorical Signification", "The Morphological Signification" and "The Syntactic Signification". It should be noted that the approach adopted in all parts of the study is a descriptive approach based on induction and broad presentations of views, and then reviewed in such a way as to help the reader to distinguishing between the agreed-on and differed-in, with a sole emphasis on the views of Ibn Shahrashub, without been caught in the discussion of all evidence and sub-issues wary of inflationary research. The study benefitted from ancient and modern references and sources, with relying on those that related to the Qur’an and Qur’anic studies. Thus, it is no surprise that the principles of Sheikh Ibn Shahrashub transmitted throughout his book Mutashabih al-Qur'an wa mukhtalifuhu (The Allegorical and Differential in Qur’an) is the basis from which the researcher drew his ideas, plans and treatments in the presentation and analysis, for it is the source in this area as it is an objective interpretation of the Holy Book of God, as well as other works.
